Marriage is a huge step in anybody's relationship. It's the ultimate symbol of commitment. For too long, society has made it appear like it is just something only the women want and they will do anything to get a man to ask them. But that's just not the case. The truth of it all is that women look for certain green flags before they jump into something as serious as agreeing to be with someone for the rest of their life.
Too many people end up jumping to a relationship with some riddled with red flags. They were probably blind to it in the beginning because love will do that sometimes. All the flag colors are blurred and you just assume it's all green. But as you continue further into the relationship flags start to become clear and ultimately you have to decide if there are enough green flags in the partner to say 'I do.'
So how can you figure out these green flags? It's not as easy as it sounds. Recently, a Redditor asked the subreddit r/AskWomen what "screams" spouse material? Couples who have been married for years have commented very sage advice on exactly what green flags made them want to get married. And even people who aren't married, but know what they're looking for after lots of trials and tribulations provide excellent advice. So if you're looking for a future spouse, this thread is a great reference. We pulled some of our favorite and most helpful comments below!
