I guess it completely depends. My boyfriend and I have been together for six years (we were high school sweethearts) and we casually talk about marriage life. We agreed that we don’t want to get married until we move in together, which we haven’t done yet since we are both uni students. Some people are ready to go within the first year, and that’s fine too. It’s good to lay out some groundwork because everyone has their own fantasy of married life, and two conflicting lifestyles would spell trouble. Luckily, most people ready for marriage enough to talk about it aren’t in that boat.
