I personally think this differs from one person to another and depends a lot on their cultural background. The partner has to be aware of all the possible differences.

It depends how long has you been dating.
But if you're curious, just sit them down and start off with this, "This is something that's really important to me and I want to talk about it. So I appreciate it if you could listen and tell me your thoughts about it. I want to talk about marriage."
Also don't give out ultimatum. Don't pressure him.

During a conversation, bring up what they want from the future of their relationship and what they expect to happen. If it leads into them asking you in return then you can mention that you'd like to spend the rest of your life with them as a married couple.

What about bring up the subject casually? I understand that you could be hesitant to bring it up since it could trigger a reaction that you weren't hoping for, which, by the way, is normal. Everyone has different points of view about marriage, and these prospects might be deeper than just responsibility. You could just ask something like "what do you think about marriage?", and let him speak freely. Accept his answer and exchange your thoughts with him too, don't be afraid of being honest! Truth to be told, he might not be ready or even interested in the responsibility, because marriage is something serious. If he likes the idea of marriage then you guys can just wait for the right time! However, if he "isn't sure" or "would rather not", you could tell him how nice it would be, give him the advantages, and you don't even have to convince him immediately. If he loves you, then I'm sure he'll propose to you when he's ready to step up and become worthy of being a husband and a father! Do note that it'd be nice if you occasionally talked about marriage and asking him to imagine what would it be like.. I hope this helped! Take care 😇â¤

The first thing to understand, is that not every person wants to get married, and that needs to be the forefront thought going into a conversation about marriage.
Usually marriage is brought up on one of the initial dates of a relationship, and then it is made clear and open for discussion later on. If this does not happen, then it can be a little more difficult later on.
The first time you bring it up, it should be a casual conversation; it does not need to be intimidating, and you should keep an open mind. Ask questions about whether it's something they want, or have ever thought about. Take a minute when you are both in a good place to sit and bring it up - the only way you will ever know what each other wants is by communicating.

Before having "the marriage talk", it is good to ascertain the following:
1. Length of the relationship
2. Current emotional health of the relationship
3. Financial standing of both you and your boyfriend
4. Any other issues that should be taken care of before thinking of marriage. (Eg. personality differences, family, career, etc.)
If you feel both are ready to take the next step, and someone needs to take the lead to generate the conversation, you can either choose to be straightforward and say something along the lines of "What do you see for us and our relationship in the next two years?". Or, if you are the conservative type who prefer the man to lead this conversation, try hinting by saying that you are so happy for some of your friends/cousins/celebrity idols who are getting married and from there, see what his responses are.
Good luck!

Talking to your boyfriend about marriage can be tough. Depending on his views sometimes it's very easy and sometimes it's tough. When I was dating my husband, I would ask him about where he sees himself in 5 or 10 years and asked questions about what was important to him. I'm not suggesting you do the same. You are the expert in this situation and know him best. What are questions that you think you could ask to figure out where his head is? You may already know wherr his head is as well and maybe able to ask questions directly. I'm hear to listen if you would like to chat about it further.

The best way to go about it would be to ask him what his thoughts on marriage are and if he sees himself being married one day. Also, ask him how he feels about your relationship with him and if he sees a future with you in it. This can be a good way to dip your feet into the conversation if you feel that it's too soon to ask about marriage and are worried about pressuring him. After a certain point in the relationship, you are entitled to have this conversation with your partner to ensure that you're on the same page.

It would be nice to talk about how beautiful commitment is and the greatness of the union provided by marriage. Start by general words and then you can talk about wanting marriage yourself. Don't push him to marry you or be committed right away. give him the space to think and assure him that you'll always accept his decision. it's not always about rushing things. Patience is key and believing that love will always be the way to marriage eventually. I've always been a believer that true loves ends in marriage for it's a sign of loyalty and appreciation.
