How to talk to your boyfriend about marriage?

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.
