Is Your Current Beau ‘The One’?

The thought of preparing for your wedding – from the wedding invitation to the love favors suddenly catches you. After years and years of playing the field, you finally said to yourself that you are ready to commit. Your girlfriend may have initiated ‘the talk’ before, but now that you are considering settling down, you ask yourself first if the relationship can grow for the long haul. If you are not sure whether you will pop the question, these are some things you have to remember and to look for.

A woman who can accept and appreciate you for who you are is the real deal. She has no qualms about your hobbies (as long as they are healthy ones of course), and can be one of the boys. She can be a damsel in distress sometimes but not all the time. If she has her own preference and can decide on her own, without constantly consulting you even for trivial matters, then that is one trait that you can truly live with for the rest of your life.

Get to know her even more so you will get the idea of what she wants out of her own life and from her married life. As someone once said, ‘Love is not about looking at each other’s eyes, but it means looking at the same direction’. If you are in-sync with what you want, then working together in achieving your goals will be a lot easier. If you have different marital goals, then you will be working alone for the rest of your life and may lose the essence of the partnership. Being married means making decisions on how to raise your children as well and if you have different values, it can be a very rocky path for a long, long time.

If you think you are with your soul mate, then there is no reason to play it lightly or to put it off. Prepare yourself to commit because the one can literally be the only one, and if you let them go, there may be regrets waiting for you around the bend. Be happy that you have found the one you can sped the rest of your life with. Some men wait for years for this to happen. So when you see it, grab the chance and get started with the rest of your lives together.
