37 Clear Signs He Wants to Commit and Marry You

After a while in every relationship, a woman may want to get a clearer direction of where the relationship is heading. This is because the ultimate purpose of a relationship is for it to end up in a blissful marriage eventually.

To avoid wasting time being with someone who would later settle for someone else, it is always necessary to look for clear signs that your man will soon commit and marry you. Thankfully, men generally do not like to hide their feelings towards a woman they love even though ideas around masculinity might make them mask them a little bit. When he loves you and is ready to commit, these clear signs will be easy to spot.

Whether you met him a few months ago, or you have been with him for years now but he is yet to propose, here are some clear signs that he sees you as the woman he wants to marry.

37 Clear Signs He Wants to Marry You

There are several reasons why a man would not be ready for commitment. These include emotional unreadiness, financial concerns, career goals, as well as fear of commitment. However, when a guy wants to marry you, he does his best not to allow the circumstances to stand between you and him in the relationship.

In this section, we will explore some tell-tale signs that a man wants to marry you.

3. You are free around him

Being free with someone requires some time getting to know each other, your likes, dislikes, and other preferences.

Not everyone remembers birthdays, and for those that do, it’s only for very important people in their lives.
