You Wanna Get Married?

For me, to date, the most stressful thing about my marriage process has been the thing that started it off: The Proposal.

Before you get into the nitty-gritty of saying "yes, dear" (which I'll also get to in later posts), you have to know if you want to do it.

Ask yourself these questions:

Do I Love This Girl?

...Sounds pretty stupid, but before you go out buying rings and reserving DJ's and ordering flowers, you really have to know if you want to spend the rest of your life with the girl that you are set to propose to.

What About Those Ups and Downs Again?

...What do I mean about those ups and downs?  Anything that is great and anything that goes wrong.  From great trips to stupid arguments, every relationship is going to have its ups and downs. You've had your ups and downs and those will certainly continue through the whole process, but if you wake up every morning, roll over, and are staring at the love of your life, then you are set.
