Asking your partner to marry you is a very exciting time and you want to make sure that everything is perfect before you pop the question. You want to spend the rest of your life with a person who makes you happy and whom you want to cherish in return, so everything should go according to plan.
Fortunately, we at OzPropOz can help you with this.
Let’s take a look at some of the things you need to consider before you go down on your knees.
First of all, let’s find out how you can determine how soon is too soon to propose.
How Long Should You Date Before Getting Engaged?
This is a million-dollar question, isn’t it? But the truth is that the best time to get married is unique for every couple. According to marriage therapist Elizabeth Earnshaw, there is no concrete rule on how soon is too soon to get married, but according to her, couples should wait at least one year before they take the marriage route. She also says that couples typically date for two years on average before they get engaged, but also see people who got married within six months. Plus, there are those who wait several years before getting engaged.
The last statement is echoed by the dating app eHarmony, which reported couples know each other for about five years before they decide to get married. For millennial couples, this time is even longer, at an average of six and a half years. However, even that number can vary depending on their age group, cultural background, and their personal and financial stability.
Keep in mind, though, that the time to get engaged is different for everyone. There are some couples who prefer to get married within a few months of datting each other – and they have very successful marriages eventually.
Hence, it actually all depends on the two people getting ready to marry, their vision on married life, and how they intend to support each other.
A Few Things to Consider Before You Pop The Question
You are deliriously happy with your partner and want to get hitched to them as soon as possible. We say go for it! Just keep in mind a few things to make sure it is the perfect time.
Level of Communication and Ability to Resolve Conflict
Do you have excellent communication skills? Yes you do?, then you will be happy to know that healthy communication is the key to solving every conflict you may encounter in your married life.
So this is already a great start!
Shared Interests and Values
Does your partner like to travel, just like you do? Do they enjoy the same sort of activities? Do they like walking in the moonlight, watching old romantic movies, and having french fries and a beer at a small local pub just like you do?
If so, they sound to be a good fit for you! Daily routine activities and small shared moments are the ones that will sustain your relationship in the long term! Now all you need to do is to plan for the perfect proposal to show them your love..
Whether you need a stunning themed proposal event or a romantic getaway proposal in Switzerland, Dubai, or Paris, OzPropOz have you covered!
Your Level of Sexual Satisfaction
If you are very happy with your level of sexual compatibility with your partner, it will continue to spice up your married life. To make your engagement moment romantic and sensational (why not sensual?), OzPropOZ can help you create a unique and wonderful themed proposal event that will show the passion you have for your partner. This will be a prelude to the life that comes after.
Using “We” Not “I”
Talking to your partner with words like “we” and “us” instead of “I” is guaranteed to give them a warm and fuzzy feeling. It shows you consider your partner as a “single unit” and want to see their happiness as well in everything you do.
This is a good sign that you are ready to step into the next phase of your relationship.
Understanding How to Balance Work and Family Life
A married life is more fun and fulfilling if there is balance in your work and family life. A balanced life means less stress and more quality time spent with your partner in a lifestyle that you choose.
It also provides you more opportunities to appreciate your partner and show them how much you love them.
If you are already married to your partner, it is a great idea to re-affirm your love with them with a “Will You Re-marry Me” event. OZPropOZ can help you organize your vow renewal and love celebration in an original and unique way.
Understanding Your Partner’s Hints
If your partner is talking about wedding a lot, how nice an engagement ring would look on their finger, talking about getting a house or having children together or making plans ahead…, all of thesesignals can be clues that your partner is ready to start their married life.
Sharing a Home
Marriage, of course, means sharing the same space together. If you are already living together (and you get along well of course ;)…) or you have decided to buy a house together, then it might be a good time to propose as well.
Finding the Perfect Time to Get Engaged
Taking enough time to understand your relationship will help you ensure that your love is real, strong, and can stand the test of time.
As we mentioned before, no scientific formula can help you find the exact time to get engaged. But what is important is that you have true feelings, respect, and passion for one another- which are the important things that will keep your bond strong for a lifetime.

How To Propose When You Are Ready to Propose
Figuring out how to propose to your partner can be confusing for some. The one thing we definitely recommend is to be as personal as possible. Sometimes, the best way to propose isn’t the most expensive one. Other times, you need to treat your partner to something special to ensure your true feelings come across to them.
It could be planning a helicopter trip, creating a proposal setting in a chic restaurant or giving a sweet proposal speech in a park. What matters is that your proposal comes from the heart.
Some other things that you can do are:
- Let your parents know your intention to propose. They might offer great advice
- Make sure you get your partner the perfect ring by looking at the kind of jewelry they wear. Make sure to get the right size
- Make sure you rehearse what you want to say before you get down on one knee
- Be calm, BREATH and set the stage for the proposal
- And most of all, let the magic happen, live in the moment and let your partner enjoy the surprise!
