8 Signs That You’re Ready For Marriage
Your friends are pairing off, and you feel like it’s time to settle down. Are you just giving in to peer pressure, or do you really want to marry your current partner? Check out these signs and see if you’re ready for marriage.
朋友都已经成家立业了，你也感觉自己是该安定下来了。到底是迫于压力呢？还是你真的已经准备好了?对照着这些看看吧。
1.You know why you want to get married.
你知道你想结婚的原因
There are pictures of tuxedos and white dresses all over your Facebook feed—is that what you want? Do you just want to be able to say you’re married, or do you really want to spend your life with your partner? Think about why you want to get married. Ask yourself the hard questions and make sure you’re ready for marriage.
网上到处都是朋友们的婚纱照----那也是你想要的吗？只是想结婚了呢，还是真的想和你的那一位共度余生？好好想想你想结婚的原因。问问自己这些问题，确定自己是真的准备好结婚了。
2.You’re planning a marriage, not a wedding.
你计划的是一段婚姻，不是一次婚礼
Weddings are fun parties, a chance to see all your friends and family in one place. But is this why you’re getting married? Do you just want to have a big party and be the center of attention? Weddings last several hours, but a marriage lasts forever. Don’t plan for one day—plan for the rest of your lives. Think about how your everyday life will be with your partner, even when you’re not the center of attention.
婚礼是一场很有趣的聚会，是一个能够在一个地方见到所有朋友家人的绝好机会。但是这就是你想要结婚的原因？你想要的只是自己举办一个大聚会，做一次主角？一次婚礼只占用几个小时，但是一段婚姻却是一辈子。不要只想着这一天----你要打算的是你一辈子。想想你不是主角、和他/她生活在一起的每一天。
3.You’ve lived your own life.
你能安排好自己的生活
It’s true—some high school sweethearts can marry and make it work. But that’s not common. Studies show it’s best to wait until you’re 25 or older to get married. You’re more mature, you’ve lived more of your life. It doesn’t mean you have to date everyone who crosses your path, but you’ve had a chance to meet different people and realize what you want and what you don’t want in your life. This will help you pick your perfect partner.
有些高中生就可以结婚，并且能过得挺好。但是不是所有人都能做到。研究表明在25岁及以后结婚是最好的。你会更成熟，能让自己活得更好。不是说你要和你人生中遇到的人都谈一次恋爱，但是这样你会有更多的机会遇见很多不同的人，这样你就能知道生活中哪些是你想要的，哪些是你不想要的。这样有助于你找到一个更适合你的人。
4.You know and trust your partner.
你很了解并信任你的另一半
No matter how long you guys have been together, you need to know your partner completely. Don’t get married just because you’ve been dating for four years. Get married because you know your partner. You know their past and you know their hopes and dreams. You can imagine their reactions to certain things. You know all this and you still love them. Beyond that, you trust them. Trust is vital for a marriage.
不管在一起有多久，你都得了解你的另一半。不要因为你们恋爱了四年就结婚。和他/她结婚是因为你了解她/他。你知道她/他的过去，你也明白他的所有希望和梦想。你可以想象他对某些事情的反应。这些你都知道，但你还是很爱他。除此以外，你百分百的信任他。一段婚姻中信任是最关键的。
5.You don’t want to change your partner.
你想结婚的对象就只有他
Marry them because you love them as they are. Making a major commitment won’t change anyone—though it may make you have to work harder on your relationship.
和他结婚是因为你像他爱你一样的爱着他。选择他也许会让你过得很辛苦，但是也还是不想因此而改变。
6.You make long-term plans together.
要做好长久在一起的打算
In a new relationship, it’s OK to fly by the seat of your pants. You can change things at the last minute . Once you get serious and decide to commit to each other, you need to make plans together. What if your partner wants to travel the world? Are you OK with staying home alone, or would you go with your partner?
即使是刚刚确定恋爱关系，然后想要马上结婚也没关系。不到最后关头一切都还有转机。只要你们很认真的决定要一起结婚，那么你们就要做好长久的打算。要是你的另一半想要周游世界，你是想一个人在家呢，还是陪着她一起去？
7.Your family and friends like your partner.
确定你的家人朋友都喜欢他
When you’re newly in love, you might feel like that nothing else matters. Once you’re committed, you realize that everything matters. Initially, you might not care that your dad doesn’t approve of your partner. But over time, this small rift will affect your life and your relationship. Also remember that your family and friends know you best, and if they think there’s a problem with your relationship, maybe you should listen.
刚恋爱的时候，你觉得什么都可以不在乎。但是在考虑婚姻大事的时候，你才发现一切都很重要。最初，你父亲不同意，可能你也不在乎，但是时间久了，一些小事也会影响到你们的生活、你们之间的感情。还有，你要记住你的家人朋友是最了解你的，如果他们都不赞成，或许你还是应该听听他们的意见。
8.You can’t imagine your life without your partner.
你不能想象没有他的生活
Overall, you’re in love with your partner. You can’t see yourself with anyone else. You can’t see yourself without your partner. If you know you can’t be happy with another person, and you’d be incredibly unhappy without your current partner, then let it go and enjoy your loving relationship and marriage!
你们已经爱到无法自拔了。除了他，你已经不能想象和别人的生活。要是没有他，你都不知道自己的生活会是什么样。你知道要是和别人在一起你肯定活得不开心，没有他你也不会活得开心，那就顺其自然吧，继续和他恋爱，和他一起步入婚姻的殿堂结婚吧。
