work on

    Got some things to work on.
    
    
    There are some things you'll need to work on before you get married. You're probably okay with being single, which is a great place to be. Maybe you've seen a marriage go bad, or maybe you just haven't seen a marriage do well--either way, some of your ideas on marriage are a little immature. Marriage is for better AND for worse, in good times AND in bad. If you work through these things and keep your heart open, you could be married in a few years. If you stay where you are, you could walk away from a wonderful thing. Remember that to be ready for marriage, you have to focus on changing your heart, not your partner's.
    
    
    You have a lot of learning to do before you're ready for marriage. Marriage is not about being happy, it is about being happy WITH someone for the rest of your life. You're on the right track, but there are a lot of things you need to work through before you can think about getting married. Marriage is not about one person, it's about two. Ask married couples that you know who are making it work about what marriage is. Steer clear of people who are only in it for themselves, and don't BE one of them. If you work through things, you could be married in 3-5 years. If you stay where you are, you could still get married, but for the wrong reasons, and it may very well end in divorce. No need to put yourself (or the other person!) through that kind of pain.
