The Right Person to Get Engaged To? For most couples, getting engaged is the precursor to getting married. With this in mind, not only do you need to be sure that the person you plan to propose to is the one that you want to spend your immediate future with, but more importantly that it is the one person that you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Whilst many of you will be sure that this is 'the one', others may not be so certain. If you do happen to fall into the latter category we strongly suggest that before jumping straight in and buying the most expensive diamond engagement ring you can afford, that you take your time and consider whether you really are compatible for marriage.
Do you share the same values and common beliefs? Do you both want the same out of family life? Do you have respect for one another and treat each other as equals? Do you get the right amount of love and understanding from your partner? These, and many other questions, will help assess your marriage compatibility and determine whether or not you really can see yourself growing old together.
For more information and advice, including a host of additional questions to ask yourself (and your partner) before getting engaged, be sure to check out our bespoke marriage compatibility article.
The Right Time for Getting Engaged?
Far too many engagements fail each year because couples have got engaged at 'the wrong time'.
Whether it's because there are additional stresses and strains outside of the relationship, monetary and fiancial worries inside of it, or simply because everything has all happened too soon, there are many reasons why things can turn sour. With this in mind, it's important that you take your time and consider all the angles.
