How to talk to your boyfriend about marriage?

First of all, ask him about his goals and motives for the future. Ask him if he wants to get married. And slip it in, while talking about the future.

I would use a couple of silly comments to see how he feels about it first and then from there build it into a conversation

Bring up the topic about future wantings. His dreams etc and bring up your own. Develop on these topics and ask his opinion towards your wantings and also share your view on his wantings

A good idea would be to wait until you feel that your boyfriend is more than comfortable discussing it. Then, you'd probably want to introduce the idea in a non-threatening manner(Some people do not handle knowing there will be commitment properly) and to introduce it in a way that you feel is gentle enough to make them comfortable.

My personal experience with this is actually rather recent, as I brought it up to my boyfriend, I was blunt, and I told him outright, "I want to discuss a big and serious topic with you, if that's okay, which is marriage" and just like that, we were able to discuss it calmly like adults, and both give our input and set our terms, worked like a charm :)

try bringing up the topic slowly, but honestly. ask him if he would want to get married with you and where how etc. and from there i would start planning your proposal

Start by asking him what he sees in the future for your guys relationship. Then explain how you feel. Maybe not in a middle of a conversation, when it’s silent would be the best time to ask

Marriage is a contract which both parties agree upon. Hence, it is essential to highlight the concerns and expectations which one may have. Therefore, one should ask the other person very straightforwardly if they are seeking a future with you. This way, there will be lack of confusion and a lesser chance for feelings to get hurt.

No ultimatums, no manipulation, no arguments or getting too emotional, but most importantly no beating around the bush. If you are an adult who is ready for marriage you should be able to tell him so. And if he is ready or even considering it he will be able to hold a calm and beneficial conversation with you about it. Start with a question. Ask "Have you ever thought about marriage?" See how he responds and go from there. You will figure out when the time is right, or when it's time to move on.

First you need to be sure where you stand on the topic.You have to be absolutely sure.After being confident about your feelings you need to try to know what your boyfriend feels and then have an honest talk.

Just relax, no need to be nervous. Do not overthink or over prepare. The only thing you should reflect on is if you yourself are truly ready for marriage (financially, emotionally, spiritually). If you're ready for marriage and your boyfriend is not, you have some decisions to make and it's best to make those decisions sooner than later.

First talk about your plans in the future. Talk about kids, ask him how many kids he wanted if he dont respond dont push through with asking about marriage. But if he reaponded, jokingly tell him that its good and he need to be on his knees first.

It will depend on how deep you guys are in the relationship, but generally just take in slow and soft approach, so no surprise reaction will occur. Talk about the little things so hint here and there and a casual conversation about it one of this days.

Pick the right time and place to ask about it, and when you ask, take it slow and give it some time.

If he asks you what you want for a birthday present "A Ring" is always nice :) Talk abount family, About moving together. About "long term plans".

Look for an appropriate occasion when both of you are in a good mood, begin with something about marriage to see how your boyfriend responds and decide what to do next.

There can't be a one specific way to do that. You know him better, find the right time to share your feelings.

During a pleasant conversation when both people are feeling good, you can talk about the future and your visions for the future. When he talks about the future, are you a part of that vision? Talk about your vision of the future. Does that include marriage? Try to be as non-judgmental and non-confrontational as possible. But if he doesn't want marriage and his long-term visions of the future don't include you, and if you want marriage, it's time to consider if this relationship will meet your needs.

I have talked with my partner about marriage and my hesitancy to marry until after we are settled and have a good financial foundation. We have talked about it after he proposed and I told him no. We had to have a talk about our expectation and desires and we made sure to get on the same page. He was discouraged when I said no but loves me enough to respect my opinion.

Marriage is not really very easy thing to do it's a great responsibility. if you are interested in asking about your boyfriend about marriage, you are sure of marrying him. If not please rethink. Once you're sure then you can start talking about future plans, if he looks serious you can tell him what you think of your future with him. you can ask for marriage or if you are finding it difficult to ask face to face you can always use texts message or email. Best of luck from my end. I hope it will work for you

The easiest way. Explain your vision and your idea, along with a range of feelings you've developed so far. Be open and listen to your boyfriend's background and currently feelings about it. Don't be too pushy or judging. Your partner comes before a contract, and so do your needs. In case there's an overlap of needs, yay! In case there are differences in values, timing, feelings and expectations, reduce this Big Talk into little bits and keep it friendly. Don't overdue this. Face just one aspect per time and give your partner time to absorb information or develop its own idea.

Marriage is a very vert serious topic which might be scary to a few people at times because it is kind of a commitment you wish to devote yourself to for your lifetime. If your boyfriend is serious to the core about your relationship, talking to him about marriage shouldn’t be that hard a task. You can start by telling them your thoughts and views upon marriage. You can also list the examples of some beautiful and successful married couples around you. Then you can tell him that you wish to get married someday too and that you would like him to be your partner, that is, only if he consented to it

I know from experience how not to talk to your boyfriend about marriage! I used to find this really emotive. My best advice would be to talk calmly and openly about how you feel, and try not to take anything he says about it as a personal attack or judgement. But that is easier said than done, and when I used to talk to my boyfriend about marriage it usually ended in tears (mine) and anger (mine)! Because he said it was pointless and we weren’t ready yet anyway, which I took as I’m not good enough. But we’re now happily married, all my tears were unnecessary!

Talk about your future goals in life and if you guys are on the same page then casually bring it up, don't bombard him with the idea. If you both are in a committed, loving relationship, then it should be natural to talk about marriage or long term commitment. Always pay attention to the things he says during normal conversation because they might show some small hints as to how he feels about it. Be an attentive listener. Boys are shy too, so they might not tell you their opinion about marriage upfront. Instead, they're more likely to drop hints here and there. So remember to pay attention to his words. Communication is key when it comes to long term relationships, so being open to each other is also really important.

There comes time in every relationship when we need to know if we have the same partnership goals. Asking your partner what their intentions are in having a future together is difficult and frightening. Partly because we put ourselves at risk of possible rejection, and partly because we leave ourselves vulnerable and are forced to face our insecurities. However, it is important to make sure the commitments we make that include another person and affect our future are on the same page. If you've been in a relationship that is secure, committed and You have a good, healthy line of communication established, and you're ready to move onto an even greater level of commitment with your partner go ahead and ask them how they see and what they hope the future holds in store for the both of you as a couple. Gently, calmly speak from your heart and task them where they see you both going as a couple. But remember that above all else you yourself must make sure that your partner is capable of taking care of your heart, mind and personal needs. You first must know your own intentions before asking what your partners are.

Ease into the conversation, maybe bring up some friends who are getting married. Drop subtle hints. Being too forward may scare him away. Ask him about the future and if he sees you in his. That should give you an idea of where you stand. If he doesn't want you in his future, walk away now but if mentioning the future excites him then maybe bring up the idea of marriage. Its a touchy subject but some people are just afraid of commitment and see marriage as something too long term. Play it by ear see how he feels.

Being curious about how your boyfriend sees the world means you are respectful about his viewpoints on all topics including marriage, friendships, children and money. With that approach in the relationship it becomes natural to ask a question to open up the discussion that feels right for you; What is your perspective about marriage? What do/did you like about your parent's marriage? What role do you imagine marriage plays in commitment? With active listening and open ended questions the conversation feels safe for your boyfriend and for you to be open hearted and reflective about your different perspectives. One final thought - practise walking together it tends to create a safe environment for many.

If you feel you guys are in that place, you can bring it up. Careful not to bring it up too pre-maturely though. You know where you guys are at best. you know your dynamic and relationship inside out. be honest with yourself, be honest with each other. That is most important.

If you don’t, and feel you’re at the right point in your relationship, you could prepare the proposal on your own, and propose to him. Trust me as a guy, it would be an unforgettable gesture. However, I don’t think that answers your question. I don’t know your boyfriend, and what kind of commitment he’s looking for, but you clearly need a conversation to figure out where you are both heading to. The word marriage needn’t be pronounced, but seeing if he wants such a celebration, if he wants to raise a family, or if he wants to take things slow and more relaxed. Try to plan things in the future, and see how far off he’s planning for the both of you

That's a difficult thing for me to answer, I'm in a 5 year relationship, and society and the people i grew up around says i should be married by now and even have kids because everyone else has so far. but my partner for his own reasons doesn't want to or is not ready to and all of that, and i can respect that. i guess if you really want to be married and want that title and have his last name and officially be his forever, you have to be brave and state what you want for your future with him. take the plunge, because that will tell you where you want to be or at and where you want your relationship to go. hear him out even if he doesn't give you the answer you want. and think if the relationship you built so far with him is worth staying with despite how he might feel. and if he is on the same page as you. got for it.
