How to talk to your boyfriend about marriage?

Marriage indeed is a big decision. Boys being usually of the type who rather are often afraid of the feeling of being committed, you don't want him to freak out. You also must take care of your behaviour when you approach him, like you should not be all tensed and serious. Just walk up to him casually and with a smile on your face say that you have something to say to him. Be careful not to jump to the actual reason and also just don't beat around the bush. Keep it simple and tell him how much he means to you, what positive effects he has had on your life and how you enjoy each moment of his company. After confessing what you feel for him and before jumping to the conclusion, ask him for his opinion about you and your relationship with him. If he has a positive answer, you can finally reveal your emotions to him about marriage and how you want to spend each and every moment of life with him thereafter. However, if he is still uncertain about you two guys but you definitely want to be with him, give him some time and don't force it on him. If you are lucky enough, he will eventually own up to you about his feelings. What may be the outcome, I hope it's the best for you.

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.
