Peiru Teo continues to share some more unmistakable signs that you are destined to be together forever with your significant other. If you missed Part 1, read it here.

5. Having And Working Towards The Same Goals

If the both of you are already or are in the midst of formulating plans, or even discussing about how you can reach a certain goal, it means you are more or less ready to get married. Of course, when we say goals, we don’t mean the ones that are small scale. They don’t include:

• Where to eat after a day of work

• What movie to watch after dinner

• Who gets the last chip from the nachos combo

• Who gets to use the toilet next

When we say goals, we mean HUGE goals. Like saving for the future, planning how you can fund the housing, and even opting for saving plans to secure your future plans. Basically, by operating with a sense of maturity, you will likely make decisions that don’t compromise the future you are aiming to build together. As marriage is meant to last a lifetime, it is important to incorporate that mindset.

6. Being 100% Comfortable In Each Other’s Presence

Admit it, you are most likely to fart, burp, and do something unglamorous in front of your partner! That’s the meaning of being comfortable in each other’s presence. You are okay with looking hideous in front of him, and he is fine to meet you with unshaven facial hair.

You are both completely fine being the most vulnerable witheach other, and that’s a healthy sign of any relationship. After all, you only let your walls down in front of people who love you and will protect you at all costs. Of course, this does not mean you should be comfortable with being a total monster to your partner for no apparent reason.

7. Wanting To Grow Into A Better Person

The ultimate testament to a happy marriage is the aim to grow into a better person for each other’s sakes. Of course, having those moments of anger and disappointment is normal, but what’s more important is to not let it stop you from being a better person.

If you truly love your partner, you will be able to rationalise whether you were at fault (and then apologise), and work on improving yourselves so that the same thing won’t happen again.

That’s all for how you can gauge if you are ready for marriage. Of course, the signs are beyond just the above seven, but what’s more important is that you two truly love and are in love with each other.

There’s no doubt that a marriage is a beautiful phase of life. And there are many obstacles to a good marriage, including a memorable wedding and smooth wedding preparation. We’ve seen cases of couples bickering to the point of tears, and it is a pretty helpless feeling when that happens. This is why we felt it was important to demonstrate how a couple should be before they decide to spend the rest of their lives loving – and annoying – each other!
