Yes, it's a beautiful thing to feel this type of love and to this extent. You may have gone through trials and tribulations and gotten over many hurdles.

New Love Is Exciting

When you’re newly in love, you might feel like nothing else matters. It is definitely a fantabulous sign when your family and friends like your partner.

This is because our family and friends know us best, and if they think there’s a problem with your relationship or the person you're head over heels for, then you may want to listen up and take heed.

In a new relationship, once you get serious and decide to commit to each other, you need to know what each of you wants, and make sure that you’re okay with working through any goals and plans together.

One thing I've learned over the years is that you don’t just gloss over problems and think that forgetting them will make them better. It is imperative to work out any kinks in the relationship so they won’t come back to bite you in the butt later.

Getting Ready to Jump the Broom!

Weddings are fun: a huge gathering of both parties' closest friends and family all in one place where you get to tie the knot with your loved one. But is this why you crave getting married? Remember, a wedding is a serious point in time that last several hours, but a marriage lasts forever.

Before making your big decision, think about how your everyday life will be with your life partner. So don’t plan just for that one day, you must plan for the rest of your lives.

Don’t be fooled by thinking that getting married will solve a problem. Resolving conflicts and compromising in a relationship will make a strong foundation for a healthy marriage.

If you can, try to solve the problem first and then proceed! If you find that it is difficult to work out any issues, you and your partner must learn to communicate effectively.

Don’t get married just because you’ve been dating for three years. When you get married, it's because you know your partner inside and out, flaws and all!

No matter how long you guys have been together in a harmonious relationship, you need to know your partner completely and be willing to step up and support them fully.

Furthermore, you know one another's hopes and dreams, as well as both of your past relationship histories. You know all this and you still love them, and they love you. Even more so than that, you trust them and they love you unconditionally. There is nothing that can break your bond, physically or emotionally.

Solidifying Your Commitment to Each Other With Vows

One thing that should be understood is that making a major commitment won’t change anyone, it just may make you guys work harder on your relationship.

A wedding can be as beautiful as a fairytale, but it will not heal any major issues between you. Be sure to dot all your i's and cross all your t's before coming to the realization that this person is going to be in your life for eternity.

Trust is vital for any marriage, so make sure you can trust your partner completely.

Overall, you are madly in love with your significant other. At this moment, you cannot see or imagine yourself without your partner. If you know that you’d be incredibly unhappy without your current partner, then follow your intuition, let your inner spirit guide you, and enjoy your loving relationship and soon, your marriage!

However, don’t go into marriage expecting it to change your relationship dynamic.

Do not marry your significant other thinking that somehow it will solve some underlying problem. And be sure that they are marrying you because they love you for who you are.
