Considering Engagement?

An engagement is a huge step and you may be wondering if it is time to move to that next level or if you should reconsider. Before you get down on one knee consider these few things to be sure this is what you want. Ask yourself why you are getting married. Is it because it is convenient, is it because you want to wake up next to that person everyday for the rest of your life, were you pressured into it? Next, ask how you envision your lives together. Look into the future. Do you see fighting or happiness? Make sure you are both on the same page. For example, have you sorted out if you both want children? Have you agreed on where you are going to live? The last thing you want is to get married, only to find out you didn’t want the same things. Are your financial and work goals in line with each other? Lastly, how will you spend your time as a couple versus when you need time alone? Marriage is something that should be forever so before dedicating yourself to a lifetime together be sure the future looks good and has been worked out before hand!
