So you've said "Yes!" and the date is set. You will soon walk down the aisle and be joined as one to the man of your choice. But first, answer this: Are you ready? Are you ready for a lifetime of commitment? More importantly, are you committing yourself for the right reasons? To answer this question, you must first have a good understanding of marriage. Let us help you through it.

So, you've met and chosen the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. You feel he's definitely "the one". But how do you know? Will you base your whole entire life commitment on just "feeling"?

"Marriage is what I want but I still want to date the person I am with to see how the relationship progresses. I am confused. Should I just get engaged as soon as possible or wait until I feel the timing is right?"

While everyone you know has found their Mr. Right, you're still on the look out for him. Hey, that's really okay, because there's no need to rush into things! While you're still waiting for him to show up, let us share with you three things you can consider.

"When it comes to romance, I find myself following my heart entirely to the point of not really thinking things through on a more practical or realistic level. I keep hearing my friends and family telling me that I need to start having standards. But the problem is that I don't think I even know what my standards are."

As much as we know and realize how important the support system we built around us is, we think there should always be a limit to just how much say your friends should have in deciding your moves in your courtship or relationship. Why you might ask? Simple. Nobody really knows and can measure the situation other than you and him, for the simple reason of both of you are the ones in the relationship. Only the both of you really knows what really happened and how it really happened.

"He says he likes me a lot, although I believe his words, sometimes it's hard to see if he's telling the truth or not. How will I know if he really cares for me? Are there signs or signals I can maybe look out for that can indicate how he really feels?"
