When it comes to choosing the right person to spend the rest of your life with, the only one who can be sure if you are choosing well is you. We all come with the idea of the right man and how we want our lives to be in the future, so here are some tips to ensure that you are following your dreams and that you are being honest with yourself by choosing him.
1. Ask yourself. The first thing you should do when thinking about getting married is to ask yourself if the man you want to do it with is the kind of person you want in your future. Think about if he has the qualities you always dreamed in a man or if he has something you find wonderful and you think is hard to find. Think if you admire him and if you think he has something that you really value and want to treasure it for the rest of your life.
Think if you really see him in your future, and if you think that you can accomplish wonderful things together or not.
Be honest with yourself and see if you really feel good about your relationship or if your are waiting for something else deep inside.
2. Put yourself first. You have to think about your goals and what you want to do, and then ask yourself if he is going to support you and be a part of it. The man you marry should be the person that will always help you to grow and be a better person in all fields. Do the same for him. Ask yourself if your are willing to support him and help him grow, without trying to change him
3. Family relationships. It is quite important that you both have a good relationship with each-others families. You must evaluate how his family treats you and how he treats your family, because once you are married you are going to be just one family and you will have to interact with each other's family members all the time. Get to know his family well. Try going to family reunions and talking to his parents. Find out what they do and what they think about certain things you find important.
Get your parents to know him better. Invite him to your parents' home and have some dinner once in a while. Do stuff together to ensure they build a good relationship.
4. Know him. One of the most important things you should do is to get to know him well. You can't think about getting married if you have only been dating for a couple of months. You have to know your partner well because if you don't and you start living together you will have a lot of surprises and it might not be nice. Don't decide to get married without knowing each other well. Do things together to ensure you are on the same page about important things.
Communicate well. You have to start talking to him and expressing your feelings in order to have a good relationship based on communication. Ask him to tell you when he feels something is going wrong. Remember to always do this with respect.
5. Evaluate your relationship. Think about how you do together. Do you really love each-other? Do you have good times together? Remember this is another step for you and if you are not doing well now it might need something else. It is better to do this when you feel your relationship is going pretty well and you feel ready to compromises in such a serious level.

Don't look just for the right man, look for a friend, a person that will always take your hand and be there.
Don't think about it as "choosing" the right man. Think about it as letting someone in your life and what you want that person to be like. You only get one life, and you need to find someone to make it more beautiful and easy to deal with.
