No Marriage is Perfect,I tell my friends that from time to time and it boils down to the fact that there's no perfect partner out there(man/woman).
Marriage entails being with an imperfect person with all their flaws and bad habits...(Lol).Accepting them the they are..It requires lots of tolerance and patience.
Maturity is highly needed too.You have to be emotionally ready not just physically (age).
Lets check out for few signs you might just look out for that shows you are ready for marriage.I culled it from mindbogygreen.com
1. You understand the difference between real love and infatuation.
When you're infatuated, you expect to feel in love all of the time. You expect your partner to be flawless and you expect the "in love" feelings to last forever. This isn't reality, and if you're addicted to highs of the infatuation stage you're probably not ready for marriage.
2. You're ready to grieve the end of being single.
You're ready let go of first dates, first kisses, the thrill of the chase. You're ready to let go of the every other possibility of partner. You understand what it means to commit to one person for a lifetime. This is difficult at any age, but requires particular attention if you haven't had much experience in the dating realm to begin with. And it's essential that you take time to acknowledge and grieve that you're saying goodbye to a stage of life.
3. You understand that it's not your partner's job to fulfill you, complete you, rescue you, or make you feel alive.
A healthy marriage requires that two healthy, whole people come together to learn and grow their capacity to give and receive love. Marriage is not, as our culture suggests, meant to provide you with the answer to all of your problems. If you're marrying with the hope that marriage will fix your problems, it's best to wait and attend to your problems on your own first.
4. You have a healthy way of handling conflict.
You and your partner can talk well about difficult subjects. You may fight occasionally (that's normal), but you are generally respectful of each other and can ultimately arrive at a healthy compromise.
5. You are aligned in terms of core values.
You don't have to enjoy the same hobbies or interests to have a healthy marriage, but you do have to be on the same page regarding religion, having children, money, and spending time with family. You don't even have to share the same religion or have the same money style, but you do need to know how you'll handle future issues on these essential values.
The bottom line is that maturity is often less a function of age as it is about a certain wisdom and willingness to take responsibility that certain people possess at a young age and certain others never attain.
