One of modern man’s most puzzling questions has and always will be when the time is right to get married.  After all, it can be nearly impossible to know exactly when you’re ready to spend the rest of your life with another person.  For some, the moment hit them suddenly and they knew that their now fiancé or husband/wife was right, but others can never seem to make up their minds, even after exclusively dating for years.  For those who cannot make up their minds, this is for you.  Let’s explore the possible signs that you, either man or woman is ready to pop the question and start looking for a caterer.

Healthy and Unhealthy Doubt
Depending on how long you have been with your partner, you have probably had a degree of doubt about whether or not they are truly “the one.” In this case, there are two kinds of doubt: healthy doubt and unhealthy doubt.  If you have been with someone long enough, there is a chance that both of your feelings have been hurt at some point or another.  In the end even couples who have been married for 50 years have had a rift or two.  Yet, such instances of hurt feelings can give you deep perspective into what the relationship has in store down the road. 

Will it be continual hurt that will eventually end the relationship? If you say “yes” to this, chances are you are experience unhealthy doubt.  On the other hand, if the occasional hurt feelings have allowed both of you to learn and grow as people and as a couple, such doubt should be looked upon as healthy doubt.  That is, when you have a rift as a married couple, you can be confident that the rift will make your marriage even stronger.
