Personally, it doesn't matter who asks who, I asked Michelle, but that doesn't mean that the woman can't ask the guy.
Michelle and I got married after knowing each other for only 9ish months, and this December 27th will be our 2nd year married together, but we were a special case, being in the military together and working the same job, we were around each other for nearly 24/7, so we spent more time together than the average couple.
Something you should ask yourself before getting married is, why do you want to marry this person? Could you trust him/her completely if you were seperated for extended peroids of time? Could you trust yourself being alone whilst they are gone? And the biggest, and what I believe to be the most important question, Can you live life without this person?
Now, that last one is kind of a trick question...the answer I believe is correct is yes, you can live without the other person, if you cannot, then you're rushing into the marrage. You should be able to take care of yourself financially, physically, and emotionally before diving into a relationship, after all, if you can't handle your own baggage, what's going to happen if someone else brings in more issues?
