Almost every one of us who dates a guy would like the relationship to end up in a marriage. We often daydream about wonderful wedding ceremonies and later to leave with husbands who shower us with plenty of love.

Given the fact that marriage is a life-long commitment, you will take deliberate measures to ensure that you date suitable guys when you begin to think of tying the knot. It is also important for you to get a man who will be prepared to walk down the aisle with you. You should therefore be aware of how to pinpoint the appropriate man.

You will be able to determine a guy who is serious about marriage from his actions and words. You need to know how to read and interpret the signs. Here are some of the things that will help you to get a guy who is serious about marriage.

A guy who is seriously contemplating marriage will make plans for the future. Such things as owning a home or having a good job are indicators of a serious guy. You should also take into consideration the way the guy makes his expenses. For instance, you should be wary of a guy who enjoys singles clubs, exotic vacations, or sports cars, as these are clear indications that he still cherishes his 'freedom'.

A guy who is seriously considering you for marriage will try to include you in some of his family events. However, a man who hardly even talks about his family most likely has no intentions of settling down with you. A guy is not likely to invite you to have dinner with his family if he is not serious about you. Why should he make his mother start giving him questions about his plans with you? Hence when a man takes this step, this is a very good signal that he is thinking of marrying you.

Another important signal is when a guy begins to talk about kids once in a while during your conversations. While some guys will talk about children in general to see your reaction, others will ask you straight to the point whether and when you would like to have kids. When a guy talks about kids, he is probably considering you as a likely mother to his own.

You will also be able to determine the seriousness of a guy about marriage by considering the way he shops for you. Does he take you to jewelry stores so that you can try a variety of rings? Although men often like to keep it a secret when they are going to propose, they will take measures to ensure that you get an engagement ring that suits you best.

When you are thinking about marriage, it is important for you to look for a guy who is also serious about settling down. These simple tips will help you determine what goes on in a guy's mind so that you won't waste your precious time. Read the signs and act accordingly.
