Wedding Engagements

Some men face the idea of proposing with sheer terror, while others feel compelled to pop the question on the second date. Regardless of where your feelings fall, here are some ways to be sure your love is at the point of commitment and marriage.

Being upfront about your finances

Make no mistake about it: Despite your undying love and devotion, money matters. You don't need to know each other's salaries to the dime, but if you're open about your savings, you'll avoid any "you owe a bookie how much?" moments.

Future Plans

Have you talked about your plans in the next five years? Have you talked about your plans together 10 years from now? If you and your girlfriend speak naturally and sincerely about your future together, then that's a good sign you two are heading down the road of love heading into the married lane.

Ambitions

When you get to know each other and have considered making that serious commitment, you will naturally start discussing your ambitions. It is important that your ambitions be discussed so that you both know if you are on the same page.
