He says he wants to spend the rest of our lives together. We've even set a year that we want to be married. He's met all my family and we even go on trips with them... I wish he'd pop the Question already! Ppl around are getting engaged and married!!! He brings it up all the time! What is taking him so long?

Is it money? Second thoughts?

I don't know, but be patient. I was impatient and popped off at the mouth now I'm worse off than ever. Don't worry about everybody else's time, God has a special time for your blessing. Just like a soffle, you can't rush the excellent plan God has for your life.

That's very true and I was afraid of pushing it too much. So i've left it alone and I let him bring it up.. Thank you very much and God Bless...

I agree. Definitely be patient with this man who has already given you confirmation that he loves you dearly and want to spend his life with you. I would consider what his patterns are in making a life changing decision and remember that people come around in their own timing. I wish the two of you the best of luck in your future. God bless!

How far away is the year the 2 of you set ? Possibly he's saying it as "I want us to be married by 20??" Wanting is a vision and doing is action. It could be just a vision for him. How long have you been dating? Are you officially engaged? Marriage is more than meeting going on family trips. The two of you need sit down and have an honest conversation,communication is key-hearing and listening. Make sure you're on the same page. You shouldn't worry about what others are doing and don't make a decision based on what Ppl around you are doing. They aren't going to be married to this person-you are.
Best wishes !

Wow this is all awesome advice and wonderfu words of wisdom that I needed to hear. Our year that we have set is for 2011 and we are definetly on the same page. We have sat down and talked about it . Not only with our parents ,but also our Pastor and First Lady. I have a daughter from a previous relationship she was concieved while we were split up and to come back from that has brought us closer than ever. He loves her as if she were his own and he also respects her relationship with her real Father. He's just an awesome person. I love him so much!

Patience, patience, patience, patience. God set a time, a place, a day, a moment, a second and even a mood for it to all happen. When its "Your season", it will happen. It is up to us to figure out when our time has come and believe me, before your Boo pops the question, you will know right then exactly what is about to happen. Just be patient. Always remember this phrase, "Hurry up and wait". God Bless you.

I think that you should voice your concerns to him. If "something's up", you need to know about it as far in advance as possible. Here's something to think about; if all was truthfully well, you would not have to post this question at all. Be well my Sister.

turn to him one day and say, "crap or get off the toilet."

watch as he look at you very perplex, but don't explain what you mean.

if he doesn't get it, then you can either leave it alone or you can leave him.

Don't rush it. If it's meant to be than it'll happen. my mother used to say, "it may not come when you want it, but it's usually right on time."

It'll come when it's right, not when you want it to.

just another rant from blogger of How to Love A Black Woman

From a biblical stand point a man seeks his wife not the other way around. I have numerous of friends who are men and the last thing they want is their girlfriends to pressure them into getting married. Patient is definitely the way to go! If he is a good man and is treating you right as well as your daughter stay patient and wait for the time to come. How long have you been dating and why are you into such a rush to get married? In due time he will surprise you especially if he loves you!!! You will be fine, besides the holidays are coming up and anything can happen! :)

We have been together for about 3yrs. It would've been four but that the year I wanted to be single... Patience is so true and it's crazy how God works my Pastor actually preached about patience last Sunday it really spoke to me! That is route from now on and he actually did set a date that he'd like for us to be married by. So I'm just going to shut my mouth and Thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful Man... Not to mention we were going to separate churches and a few months ago he actually joined my church! I was totally shocked and over joyed! We've been going every Sunday together faithfully and it's actually making us stronger!!!
