Is he ready to marry you?

IF you have been with him for years, and instinct is telling you to give him his walking papers, you may just be right to follow your instinct. And not only is instinct one of the things you should pay attention to when you do the 'will-he-propose-this-year-or-will-I-be-a-sweetheart-forever?' analysis, but below some men share with All Woman other indicators in your quest to solidify your true status.

Anthony Stewart, 39, married for one year and four months:

I've been with girls and when they'd start arguing I would just look at them and call it a day. I had no interest in resolving things, even if it was a simple issue that could be worked out. Then I met my wife and I found that no matter how heated the arguments were, I was the one to push for us to work it out and move on with the relationship. So women, if you have a man who never calls it quits at the end of a heated argument, but is willing for you to sit and work it out, then he is surely ready to marry you.

Glen Green, 38, married for three years:

I always believe that once you respect and love a woman then you should marry her. But one of the signs a woman can look out for to know that her partner will marry her is when he starts to give her all his time. Every chance he gets he spends with her and makes her feel comfortable and secure. I gave my girlfriend all of my time and spent less time with my friends.

Delroy Bryan, 47, married 17 years:

I was a loner who enjoyed my own company. I dated a lot of girls but never felt I could settle down. Then I met this woman and I just could not see myself without her. Everything was now about 'us', I even opened a joint account with her before we were even married. So a woman can tell that a man wants to spend the rest of his life with her if everytime he refers to his future he uses the word 'we' instead of 'me', and she is now a part of all of his plans.

Marlon Chambers, 38, married seven years:

If a woman realises that her man stops hanging out in strip clubs and bars and parties less with his friends to the point where she has to force him to go out sometimes, then just know that that man is already seeing himself married. And if he chooses instead to spend all these times with her, then yes, she's getting the ring!

Andre Clarke, 31, dating two years:

I'm ready to propose, and you know how I know I was ready? When she told me how she didn't see herself with anyone but me. She was totally honest, and I had been worried before that she would stray eventually, but her honesty won me over. She told me that once committed, she was committed forever, and though she has had many advances from many other men, she is committed to me only. So ladies, be honest, honesty is one of the key things that will have him buying that ring.
