How do you know he wants to marry you?

Ive been with my boyfriend for almost two years. I love him sooo much but he has never hinted at getting married or anything like that. What if he never asks? Are there any signs you KNOW for sure that he wants to be with you forever?How do you know he wants to marry you?
If a man wants to marry you then he'll let you know. That's the surest way of knowing he wants to be with you forever.


If he never asks then cut your losses and move along, or decide you're ok being life partners without the marriage certificate.How do you know he wants to marry you?
hes been with u 2 years hun u should be able to ask him just dont be to pushy that can push him away..goodluck!
Before you're ready to be married, you discuss it as mature adults. You want to be sure you're on the same page with your relationship.
generally, if they haven't even alluded to the thought of marriage by this stage, it is quite possibly a dead end... but why don't you just bring it up with him? just ask him where he sees himself and his life in 5-10 years from now. if your not in the picture and you don't like that i wouldn't say staying with him would be worth it.





but how i knew my man wanted to marry me, was because a couple months of dating we started talking about marriage and having children. we just knew that it was going to happen and both felt very strongly about it.
A man acts based upon life stages. Most men don't get married until they are established in their carrier. For a college grad this could be like 27; for a non-college person more like 23-24. It all depends on where they are in their life. Where is yours?
Talking in terms of we or us in planning a future type of thing is a good sign. saying things like ';i might...'; ';i will need to do...'; isn't marriage talk. ';We can move to.... to be close to family'; or ';We should do...'; is marriage talk.





that being said, i always believed in open and honest communications. it might not be the most comfortable or romantic way to find out about where the future lies for the two of you, but it WILL save you a lot of time and grief in the long run.





first of all i think what you are trying to do is GREAT, 2 years mark should be a good time to start thinking about this. i got three wedding proposals from the past 2 exbf and the current husband, all around 2 years into the relationship. so i believe this is the time when people are realizing, either he/she is it, or you should cut your losses and move on.





I'd open by communicating to him that YOU are very serious about marriage, not just ';being together for a long time';, but that YOU truly believe he is the one. (if this is 6 months, it might seem a crazy-rush and scare him off, but 2 years is not a rush, he should be about to stomach the idea). a lot of guys, i think, are the ';happy go around'; kind of people, meaning, they'll never think about the ';big life questions'; or bother to sweat it until they are actually facing it. So give him the chance to FACE the IMPORTANT question.





Now, the ball is in his court, and i've got to be honest, since you are serious about ';marrying him'; as a wife, not just ';hanging around him'; like a girlfriend, you have to accept the fact that there is a chance he is NOT on the same page with you.





So closely watch his body language, the first time you bring this up, it's normal for him to act out of character, maybe fidgeting, speaking in broken sentences like a high school girl, you know, the whole ';well...like...you know what i mean...you know?'; type of sentence structure. Serious long pause to me is a good thing, it shows that he is taking this question serious, and not trying to brush you off, hoping you ';grow out of this phase';,,,





If he didn't give you a straight answer, or just something like ';let me think about this';... give him the time to think. 3 weeks is a good time, 2 weeks seems rush, 1 month is too long. so bring this up again in 3 weeks. if he tells you things like ';i can see us together in the long haul too'; or start hinting about changing his plans for you - moving to a different city b/c your job or school - just in general in a tone thats like ';planning a future with you together';. it is a GREAT sign. speaking in ';we, or us'; terms are signs of a unity. like you guys are a team now who will go forward or backward together, is definitly marriage talk.





now, if you get ';but we are perfectly happy now, i don't want to wreck a good thing';... that's NO marriage for him at the moment. you then need to assure him, you want the serious future, not a long time bf. sort of a ultimatum... if he comes around, then great! if not, then it's time to move on.





it might be great now to be around him and loving him and thinking about marriage in your head secretly... it will NOT be a happy place to be in the long run. there's also the possibility of him ';realizing'; he can't live without you when you re no longer there.
The relationship should always be moving forward.





You should have a plan.





What I mean by that is you should set a healthy boundary in your mind. ';If it doesn't happen in X number of months, it's over.';





Too many of my lady friends have been in the same position as you, only they've waited anywhere from 3 to 11 years and still nothing!! And some of these women are now out of child bearing range.





Don't do that. Don't allow *anyone* to waste your valuable time.





Set a reasonable, healthy boundary.
