Signs to know you are set and matured to get married


1. You’ve Dated AroundWe're not saying you have to pull a Jen Aniston and go through tons of dudes before you find The One. But having a few solid LTRs under your belt does help you figure out what qualities are important to you and what makes a relationship work so you truly appreciate your future hubs when you find him.



2. You Both Try to Resolve Fights After you have a disagreement
it may seem easiest to apologize and move on you know, do the whole pretend it never happened thing and go forward. But sweeping conflicts under the rug only sets you up for a bigger blow-out down the road, because the issues will likely resurface if left unresolved. If you can't talk things out rationally, you're not ready.


3. You're Not Living Out a Bridal Fantasy
Sure, it seems like every time you sign onto Facebook, another pal has posted pics of herself in a stunning white gown. Sigh. But remember: Getting hitched isn't about the ceremony it's about what happens after your big day. You'd better be thinking about your future life with him, not just your future bridal party photos (and how pretty they'll look in that fab silver frame). 

4. Your Connection Is Tight Out of Bed, TooWhen you first started seeing each other, staying between the sheets all weekend was pretty legit. But for your bond to be strong enough for the long haul, you need more than a physical connection meaning you need to know that you can have just as much fun together with your clothes on as you do when they're off.

5. You Don't Want to Change HimLook, you don't have to adore everything about your guy. But you do have to make peace with the fact that he's always going to sack out on the couch and be glued to ESPN on Sunday afternoons, and he'll never stop slurping the milk in his cereal no matter how many times you say it annoys you. You can't change a man (but you can tweak him), and trying to will make you frustrated not to mention bitchier.

6. You Share Similar Goals
Let's say he wants to do the suburbia thing stat, while you'd love to travel the globe for a few years. If you get hitched, one of you will end up disappointed. Settle down with a man you're more or less on the same page with: you both want to live in the city, you both want (or don't want) kids, etc
