How to talk to your boyfriend about marriage?

start in a gentle way of your future with him and if he has thought about that...you tell him u want to talk more about this topic

Marriage is a different level you have to think things over a hundred times before getting yourself into it. Ask yourself are you really ready to face the reality of having a family, of having your freedom suffer, a child to take care 24/7, emotional stress etc. Then evaluate if he ready for that too. You may gave him a hint that youre ready But the things is he may feel that your pushing him into a situation that he may not want to get into yet. It is safe to wait till the right time comes.

Perhaps you could casually bring it up and work it into a conversation about your parents'/grandparents' marriages and then use the two of you as an example. Then get the ball rolling and have the discussion openly.

many people are happy in BF and GF relationship. They follow the relationship without proper commitment issues which might help them in future in case they want to Decide something. However, if one is getting love, affection, physical pleasure, emotional attachment and that also without commitment and without any restrictions, the Marriage is no longer considered, However, If this temp relationship is taken into consideration, and Marriage is considered as a Safeguard then, at right moments, one can ask to the BF/GF about marriage proposal and chosing that as the Best time to proceed. Many people just believe on the promises, But marriage is the ultimate promise. In which Your Heart is totally devoted to your LOVER.

The first stage is acknowledgement of affection. The second stage is affirmation of the desire to be pair-bonded. Some people are certain that they want a pair bond, but whom may or may not yet be ready for one. I feel it is important to work out this answer backwards. Do they want to be old with a home and with a family, or do they look forward to traveling the world with a companion? Who do you want to be at middle age, discovering science, playing video games, running marathons? Do both parties want professional lives that will consume many hours of dedication and hard work invested? Will you have responsibilities that will require you to live in a major, costly, city, or in a place where living costs (per person) are more affordable? Discuss what your parents lives were like with yourselves when you were children (great visiting dinner conversation, because they can start the topic of conversation.) All of these things will give you a better idea of your mates willingness to invest in a family, and willingness to make it work for both of you.

Be honest. Honesty is key to a strong relationship of any kind but especially one where you love each other. Marriage is a big commitment and you must be sensitive to the fact that your boyfriend may or may not be ready to move forward. I wish you the best of luck! -LC

Ask him about his future plans and then you come to know that if he is planning about marriage or not

Test bringing the subject up sometimes, for example by mentioning friends who are engaged or married and see how he reacts. If he reacts in a good way you could mention the two of you getting married and see how it goes :)

You must first decide if you and your relationship are ready and mature enough for this step. Then you must find an opportune time, of course its never really the right time to talk about serious matters, but try not to bring it up during difficult times, like in the middle of an argument. Sometimes its good to slide into the topic and ask what he thinks about marriage and whether he is open or ready for the idea. Based upon what he says you can assess whether to continue or leave the topic

Bring it up. There's really no other way. Respect his point of view and vision of his own future. Perhaps he feels exactly the way you do.
