Exactly - there's not really a right feeling, or a right moment. You just get to a point where you realize that he/she is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, the person you want to marry.

Yep. Not to be confused with always LIKING the person, never having doubts, and that person NEVER getting on your nerves.

People think that love has to be perfect for it to be "right." As with everything else in life, it is not perfect.

(Of course when you begin to scoff more often than not, it's a sign to move on )

When my husband and I came to the house to announce our engagement, my father and mother sat us down. Their advice was make sure you develop a friendship, because we won't always like each other. We may love each other, but that's not enough.
