You should be able to talk openly and honestly with your partner. If it’s a conversation you feel uncomfortable to have or you feel that it might make them uncomfortable then maybe you could start off with saying that to break the ice and get the conversation started. It’s important to be able to speak your mind in a relationship and have a mutual respect for each other’s feelings on the topic of marriage. Having a conversation about marriage can help you to understand if your boyfriend is meeting your expectations and to see if you are seeing eye to eye.

I think it is best to be upfront with this question. Ask his thoughts on it directly and share yours. Be open and honest with each other. This is not the time to play games and assume his beliefs on the subject. The importance of marriage varies, and not every couple will be on the same wavelength in terms of this. After discussions, then decide on the way forward. A quick decision is not needed if the situation is favourable. At times, people need time to assess themselves and their state of being. Be patient with him and self.

You have to be clear with him. Tell him that you do not like to be in a relationship (being his girlfriend) that will not end with marriage. You both love each other so you are supposed to be looking forward to marrying each other. Show him how marriage is so important for you so you can have a healthy family growing up together. Also encourage him by talking about good examples like your relatives or friends. Open up to him but at the same time make him be the one who took the decision. I wish you good luck.

Having a conversation with your partner about your future is always important, as it will give you an idea of where the relationship will lead to. Letting him know that you'd ideally like to marry him is the first step that should be taken, without putting pressure on the situation. Having this open conversation will also let you know how he feels about the relationship and if he is wanting to go that distance with you eventually. In my experience, talking with my partner about wanting to get married was easier than I thought, because even though we're nowhere near ready right now, we both want that to end up happening at some point down the road. It also helps him to know how you're feeling too!

How long and how well do you know and understand your boyfriend? What stage of life are you both in? It's important to remember to see things from his perspective as well as yours to relate and work through any potential issues or concerns the both of you might have about marriage! Make sure that you are being respectful, even if you get frustrated, and always empathize with him! Marriage will impact the both of you, and it's not always an easy choice to make. Check if both of you are ready to commit and if he's not, remember to respect his decision!
