Five Signs That You Are Ready to Get Married
Having been in the game for almost two years, I can tell you a little something about being married.
It takes an extreme amount of arrogance. What else can it be when you can fully commit your life to monogamy, changes in lifestyle, and a total submersion of your feelings into someone else’s actions?
Knowing that, you’ll never know for sure if you are that stuck on yourself to be married. However, there are five signs that you are close to being that self-centered.
5. Pursuing other people just isn’t as interesting – Subconsciously, we are hard wired to find the best person to procreate with. The benefit of being human is that we also look for other trivialities such as sharing the same beliefs on religion, food, politics and sports. If you are with somebody and your physical and emotional beings feel settled, you may be onto something.
4. You like being bored - Being with one person means that, eventually, you will exhaust many of the fun places and things you did when you were courting. That’s going to lead to nights at home, where its just you and the other person, and the prospect of meaningful conversation. If that’s okay with you, wedding bells may be chiming.
3. You live your life for someone else – If you find yourself constantly thinking about the ways you can make someone else happier or more comfortable, chances are, you want to marry that person. Choices in career, social interaction and lifestyle all become tied up in what your significant other thinks, and it becomes okay with you.
2. Many things begin to lose importance - The opinions of your friends, family and co-workers begin to mean less and less. The things you liked to do with your spare time that don’t involve him or her are far less intriguing.
1. You start telling yourself that you don’t want to be married -Telling yourself all of the reasons that you aren’t ready to be married is the surest sign that you are. No one looks at themselves in the mirror and says, “You jealous bastard,” or “You selfish wench.” You are exactly all of the things that you hear that you are, but that you aren’t. If you are telling yourself that marriage isn’t for you because of your deficiencies, it’s probably a good sign that you want to change those flaws for someone special.
Being a better person for another person to enjoy. That’s the key to knowing you’re ready to jump the broom.
