Get to the point. Keep it simple, but not demanding. Something like "I know I'm going to get married one day. Not today or even tomorrow, but it's something I want in the future. How do you feel about it?"

A lot of people try to talk to their significant other about this subject without being honest. Honesty is key. If this is important to you transmit that when speaking of the subject.
You can either approach the subject straight to the point. Ex. "One of my goals towards happiness includes marriage. I am not saying that this has to happen tomorrow or anytime soon, but I do want this in my future. How do you feel about marriage?" To some people this approach is scary. Another way to bring it up is when someone around your circle is in the process of getting married or already did. It is important to avoid language like "when are you going to marry me?" Always phrase the question in a way that is not accusatory and invites them to speak their minds.

With full honesty, not imposing anything on him though, but listening to his opinions instead. Don't be afraid to start this topic, he will listen to what you have to say because he loves you :)

Marriage is a huge step. When you feel ready to talk to your boyfriend about this, chances are he might feel the same way. I think a great way to begin is to ask open-ended questions like "How do you feel about where we are in our relationship?" or by simply telling your boyfriend how much you love him and how committed you are to him. Knowing you're 100% in the relationship for the long haul might just be the assurance he needs.

I would say to just bring it up to him! I would start it out like, "so, I feel as though we are meant to be. Everything flows so naturally and fluently. Do you feel the same?" and if he says yes, continue with, "well, how do you feel about marriage?" If his answer is a positive one, ask him when he feels getting married is appropriate. It's always important to be on the same page! Please don't feel discouraged.

Tell him honestly that you want to have a serious talk with him. You can schedule it when both of you are free and comfortable to talk about it with each other. Calmly address the issue and ask what does he think of it. If he's not okay discussing it, give him the time to think about through first. Talk when he's ready and when he has thoroughly and carefully thought about it. Remember, you don't necessarily have to rush in discussing on the spot. Both of you should take the time you need. This is about the future of you both after all. Carefully go through it together :)

Guys can be freaked out easily. However, if he is an adult, then he should realize that dating is not a game anymore. You two should have a common end goal. That doesn't mean you have to get married tomorrow, but you should be able to approach him about where he sees the relationship going.

It is easy once you know that you're in that same place. But to know if you are, that's the toughest part. I think that it should be done slowly, like for few days drop hints about your relationship commitment level and then slowly asking him about marriage(general topic), or discussing about someone else's marriage. If you know his level you will be able to analyze the situation better. If you realize he is at the same place in a relationship where you are then take him out on a nice date and discuss your future plans. If he isn't at the same place as you then you should give him some more time and get him be comfortable to the idea of marriage as you'll keep on dropping hints.
If you can't wait then you have to explain him your side, again on a dinner or some nice date would be advisable, simply explain him why you need to get married and ask him if you are there in his future plans. Just don't do it suddenly, make him prepared and comfortable to talk about this. Marriage is a sensitive topic, and the situation can be fragile. Be sensitive and understanding, maybe you will fix a date soon for the happy occasion, who knows?

Broach the subject subtly to know their stand on the relationship and how open they would be to the topic Be open and approach the subject with sensitivity towards each others feelings about the topic. Always be truthful and not to jump to negative conclusions when their response isnt what you expected.
