What is Engagement in a relationship ?

I believe that being actively involved in a relationship is an important step towards devloping a lasting connection with your spouse. It's the decision by both of you to advance yur relationship & announce your plan to wed. Relationship engagement is a lovely and unforgettable activity that strengthens bonds b/w partners. It's a time to celebrate your love & dedication to one another and to start laying the groundwork for a lifetime of fulfilment and growth.

At what age should a guy or lady be engaged ?

I believe that the decision of when to get engaged is a deeply personal., one that depends on the readiness and maturity of the individuals involved, as well as their level of committment to each other. While there is no set age at which someone should get engaged., it's importnt for both partners to feel ready and willing to make a lifelong commitment to each other.

In the end, what matters the most is that both partnrs are confident in their committment to one another., have a solid foundation of love, trust, and respect, & are prepared to cooperate to create a future full of love & happiness. The timing of an engagement shoud be chosen by the particular circumstances and level of readiness of each couple, not by a predetermined age or norm.

What are the things you consider in a person before engaging or accepting engagement ?

• The degree of affection and compatibility between us will be my first priority. It's crucial to make sure we connect well and that we have similar interests, beliefs, and objectives.

• A healthy relationship also has to have respect and trust. Therefore, I'll think about whether we have a solid foundation of respect and trust and whether we have open and honest communication.

• Also crucial to take into account are readiness and commitment. Before accepting an engagement or making a proposal, I'll make sure that we are both prepared for and dedicated to a lifetime of marriage.

• I'll also think about how well our families and social circles mesh. In addition to our relationship., it's crucial to take into account hw well we integrate into each other's families and social networks.

• Last but not least, preparation and financial stability are important variables to take into account. I'll make sure we are both financially secure and equipped to handle the difficulties that come with combining our lives.

How long is right for engagement before marriage ?

The ideal duration of an engagement before marriage can vary depending on a number of variables, including individual circumstances, cultural conventions, and personal preferences. Most engagements typically endure between six months and two years.

I believe that the duration of the engagemnt shoud be sufficient to guarantee that both partners have had enough time to develop a closer relationshp and to ensure that they are totally committed to sharing the rest of their lives together. However, the engagement shouldn't drag on for too long or be rushed so as to add undue stress or anxiety.

Are there things that can change someone's mind after engagement ?

Someone's viewpoint on the involvement could be affected by a variety of factors, such as a big change in circumstances, such as a job loss or health problem or cheating or another affair. Additionally, they might experience unforeseen occurrences or priority changes that have an impact on their future plans.

It's important to keep in mind that people evolve., and even the most devoted partners may discover that they no longer hve the same beliefs or ideals. It's possible for one or both of the parties to come to the realisation that the engagemnt was a mistake, or that they aren't as compatible as they once believed.

Is engagement a guarantee for marriage ?

There are numerous events that might occur between the time of the engagement and the wedding ceremony, thus getting engaged does not inherently ensure getting married. Although being engaged signifies that both partners are firmly determined to wed, unexpected events or problems may force a couple to call off their engagement.

For instance, one spouse could change their mind and decide they are not ready for marriage, or there might be problems that occur during the engagement that cause the pair to realise they are not suitable for the long run. It's also conceivable that outside forces, including monetary constraints or interpersonal conflicts, can obstruct the wedding.
