I think marriage is underrated these days. I think it's exciting to look forward to sharing the rest of your life with someone. Just be sure they are what you want and you are what they want. Not just now... but in the future. Have a candid talk with her, about what she wants in years to come. Have an honest discussion about money, children, houses, cars, discipline, fidelity, health etc BEFORE you get married. Cover any and every question you can possibly think of, so you both know where you stand and know if you accept each other 100%. Successful marriages don't have any room for major surprises. You know what they say about assuming...
Don't be afraid to communicate because you are a guy
It will benefit you in the long run. A lot of men want to put off those "agonizing" discussions about "foo foo" stuff and plans for the future, they think it will just all fall in place. Big mistake... if you can't talk about it now, chances are, you never will. Trust me... I know this from experience. Anyone that avoids topics or gets irritated to talk about things, isn't someone you want to plan your future around.
Good luck to you!
