I think that's a very healty attitude. Women tend to get more pressure to get married! I had an old Italian cousin of my dad's ask me, at my highschool graduation party, "So, you're graduated now, when are you getting married?". I felt a lot of familial pressure to find a husband.
As for measuring up to someone's expectations, be sure to talk to that special lady, if/when you meet her and be sure you both know the expectations! Dr. Phil (I'm a big fan of his) always says that people spend so much time planning the wedding but very little time planning the marriage!
