Wondering whether you’re really ready to get married or not? From your bank account to your friends, here are a few points to consider before popping the question.

1. You’re open about your finances.
Make no mistake about it: Despite your undying love and devotion, money does matter to some extent. You should at least be familiar with each other’s financial situations. If one or both of you are deeply in debt, money (or your lack thereof) could be an immediate source of conflict in your marriage.?”

2. You’ve hit a milestone.
If you’ve just made a big professional advance (like a raise or a promotion), it may be the perfect time to take the next big step in your personal life too. Your relationship is just like anything else you’ve worked hard toward, and the payoff is equally as rewarding.
3. You’ve discussed your future together.
Have you talked about your plans for your next vacation and your plans together 10 years from now? If you and your partner speak naturally and sincerely about your future together, that sort of confidence bodes well for your path together.
4. Your partner is aware of your ambitions.
Everyone has ambitions, but make sure your aspirations don’t conflict with those of your partner. If you plan to spend all of your savings to start your own business in five years or, better yet, plan on spending a few months traveling and working abroad, your partner should know about that before you ask them to marry you.
5. Your friends are fans.
Chances are you’ve dated someone whom your friends didn’t like much. Regardless of the root of the issue, a relationship becomes tough when your friends don’t want anything to do with your significant other. If your friends have given him/her a resounding thumbs-up, you can rest easy knowing you won’t have to spend your life choosing between them.
6. You know your partner will say yes—for the right reasons.
This may seem obvious, but if you feel the chance of your partner accepting your proposal is iffy, it’s probably not the right time to ask. If the ups and downs of your relationship are too many to count, don’t try to make things right by proposing. Propose when you know you’re both on the same page about spending your lives together, not when you’re trying to salvage your relationship.
7. Moral standards/religious beliefs
Finding love is merely the first step. Relationships are built on many factors: trust, attraction, hobbies and interests in common religious beliefs. You also do not necessarily have to agree on every minor moral issue, but you should be able to agree on the ones that are important to you and you are most passionate about.
8. Your partner is dropping hints, and that’s okay.
Maybe your significant other mentioned how they’re really into cushion-cut rings. Or they’d love to honeymoon in Ghana; hints can also be a little less subtle when the wedding planner magazine mysteriously appears on your bed. If your instinct is to change the subject or shrug off the idea of an engagement entirely, you’re likely not in a position to propose. But if the idea of getting married makes you happy, the only thing left to do is to get the right ring and start thinking on ways you want to pop the question. Here is we come in.
