Boogles ... Don't rush things. There really is no way to shut it off if you are together. Plus, there is no guarantee of a good marriage no matter which way you go. If he is a solid guy (job, active, kind, willing to sacrifice), then I advocate getting married and walk into the temple when you are ready. <<I read the other responses and they *are* judgmental. You sound like a decent sort of person. Kicking someone to curb if you love them is a pretty hard thing to do.>>
