 Humans have the urge to marry. That's what we do: we marry, have kids, grow old, spoil our grandchildren, get our diapers changed by our children, die and our children carry on our name. So of course you want to get married! But this is also why people get divorced. I believe that this need to marry and have a fmaily has become more of soomething feel they have to do, and are running out of time to do, instead of something that they think through thouroughly and do because they are truely in love. This may sound odd, but you should not let your urge to get married affect your decision. Marraige and love is a state of mind, an emotion, a decision, maturity, selflessness, accptance of the others flaws, appreciation for their attributes and ability to pick your battles; get ocer petty things, COMPROMISE and work with each other. If you feel that these things apply to you, then marry him. The period of time you've been together has nothing to do with it.
