One major sign that you might not be ready to walk down the aisle is if you begin having second thoughts about your partner’s values or character. For instance, does your future spouse have fundamentally different beliefs about family, money, or religion?
These are all valid concerns that can potentially lead to severe conflicts after saying, “I do.” So, it is best to address them upfront before you walk down the aisle.
Another, perhaps more obvious sign that you are not ready to tie the knot is if you are not that excited about spending the future with your partner. Are you looking forward to fleshing out long-term dreams and plans together? Or does the thought of planning a life together make you feel uncertain or ambivalent?
If you can relate to the latter, this may indicate you are not ready to commit to a lifetime with your partner. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t love them or hope to tie the knot in the future. But, you may just not be ready– which is completely okay.
In any case, it is important to take the time to reflect on what you truly want out of life and ask yourself whether your partner is the right future spouse to join you in achieving those goals.
Trust Your Gut Instinct
At the end of the day, your family, friends, and loved ones can only provide so much support and reassurance. So, you just have to trust your gut instinct and follow what your heart is telling you to do.
If you believe that you are just feeling some pre-wedding anxiety, don’t let fear paralyze you from walking down the aisle and starting a beautiful life with your partner.
At the same time, don’t let external pressures make you feel boxed into tying the knot if that’s not truly what you want to do. Ultimately, only you can know whether or not you are ready to walk down the aisle. Trust yourself and go with your gut.
