You can hope your SO will eventually replace the toilet paper roll once it's gone, but that might not happen. And you need to be OK with it. If there's anything about your partner that you consider a major flaw, one that you hope they'll "grow out of", then you're not ready to be married to them. Not by a long shot.

Marriage is hard, but if you're not willing to choose your battles, it's even harder. Your partner forgetting to pick up milk on their way home is not worth a fight. Ghosting on you when they're out drinking with friends and not coming home all night? That's worth an explanation. Learn how to choose your battles before saying, "I do."

If you want children, but your partner doesn't, then I don't see how marriage is going to work. You don't have to have identical dreams as individuals, but as a couple, you should want the same future.

When your partner has family and friends that mean a lot to them, it's important that you at least meet those people. You don't have to be their BFFs, but knowing their closest friends and confidantes can show you a lot about their character.

Marriage shouldn't be a sacrifice. You shouldn't feel like you're going to be missing out on something in life by marrying your partner. If you know you'll yearn for the dating lifestyle and random hookups, you're so not ready.

Much like choosing your battles, you have to be willing to compromise. Marriage can't handle someone thinking everything has to go their way -- it will fall apart very quickly.

Super childish. Talk maturely with your partner about why you want them to do something with you, don't try and guilt them into it or coerce them with ultimatums.

It doesn't matter how the two of you decide to take care of your finances in a marriage, but you have to be able to talk about money. If it's an uncomfortable subject for both of you, it's something you have to break through and figure out why.

Obviously if you're afraid of your SO in a physical sense, you need to get out of that relationship immediately, but this tip is more for those who have to walk on eggshells. You shouldn't be afraid of anything regarding your SO — their temperament, their reaction to something you've done, or their bad attitudes. You want to marry this person? Then you need to be comfortable around them, no matter the circumstances.

You have no fears or insecurities in your relationship? That's a good sign for marriage. You shouldn't worry about trusting your partner or feeling inadequate or insecure with them.

I knew my boyfriend and I were in a healthy, committed relationship when I realized he wasn't the only source of joy in my life. I have so many other wonderful things in my life that bring me happiness and fulfillment, which is so important. It doesn't mean your relationship is any less joyful, but it shows that you're not depending on a future marriage to get you through life.

And I mean anything. You can tell your partner that their friends were rude to you without fear of what your SO will say. Likewise, your partner can tell you when your bad mood is ruining their day and you don't act like a crybaby about it.

Your partner may have some really big aspirations, ones that you don't think may ever come to light, but you have to be supportive. Making fun of your SO's dreams or ambitions does not bode well for a marriage.

You're OK with telling your corny jokes in front of them, you can let your guard down, and you feel good when you're around your SO. All signs of a future healthy marriage.

You know they like hot sauce on their eggs and that Mariah Carey makes them cry. You know their little quirks and personality, which is just as important as knowing their plans for the future.

You can feel good about yourself without your spouse, but when you're around them, you feel more alive and even better than usual. They encourage you to do more, be more, and inspire you with their own personality. These feelings are so much more than the standard, "I just love being around you" dating stage.

Wedding planning may be fun, but if the thought of actually having your partner as your spouse is the most exciting thing to you, you're more than ready for marriage.

And I mean none. You can be nervous about the wedding, nervous about a huge change in your life, but you should be 100 percent confident that your partner is the one you want to be with forever. No doubts.

I mean, if you have even the tiniest inkling that this may happen, just hold off on the marriage, OK?
