Are We Really Ready For Marriage??

Today I have seen more and more people my age getting married. I'm glad we are taking that step, because most people today arent even thinking about marriage; especially in the black community! But are we really ready to be married?? Are we just getting married because all our friends are? Are we falling into the "hype" that comes with marriage?...the excitement of planning the wedding, living in pickett fenced house with our german sheppard and twin babies?! lol. How do we know when the timing is right? Can we really deal with all the issues that come with marriage?!
