We have been together for more then 10 year (not married). Here are a few examples of my knowing she is a keeper.
Years back being a bruins fan she asked who my favorate player was and wanted to know if I would like a jersey. I said Joe Thornton but I wouldn't want a jersey cause I can't stand the iron-on replaca jerseys and a true jersey with a fight strap and all stitching is way to much money. Birthday come not only do I have the jersey but she had the captons C also added for even more money. I wore it like a coat for the winter. Yes that was the year right before he ended up getting traded.
I told her I was sorry. She said for what. "I know I'm a kinda pack rat with all the tools and aquarium stuff I have been getting and keep around the house". response "Aquarium stuff and tanks are a hobby I have no problem with that, Tools are tools and can always be used and are part of the business".(just started the pen businesss)
We have been casually looking for a new house for a few years. In a condo now. I enjoy having and taking care of aquariums. I have a few smaller tanks (55 gal and under). I mentioned that I would like to have a fish room when we move and told her what I wanted to do. 4-6 tanks over 150 gallons and a custom central filter system. She said she had not problem with that and she has been looking for a house with a concrete finished lowed level. JUST FOR ME
The biggest sign was. A house came up for sale and when I got home she said "I think I found us a house". I looked at the listing. Next town over 28' x 40' detatched 6 car garage with fully finished man room above, not to mention the 1900sqft house that comes with it on 2 acres. Yes it had a room for my fish room also. So I looked at her and said 28' x 40' garage. her: "you could have a decent shop up their, right"
I just looked at her and said "I love you". The kicker is that she is the true bread winner in the house and in my mind we should be looking for a house that fits her dream, not mine.
No I didn't go look at the house. I was to worried about liking or loving the house and I was not ready to move yet. (bills)

That house is still for sale and has now come down in price. I make my last car payment next month. Money wont be a problem then. I have been broke in the past and dont want to do it all over again.
Thinking back she did mention "I may not see you much anymore, you may want to put your bed out there." maybe its all part of her plan...lol
 
Matt,

She is obviously a very smart and caring person. Trust her vision of your future, and go with it. As with all things in life, this is a test. Don't fail! Oh, and by-the-way, marry her!

Scott.

(This advice is worth exactly what you paid for it!)
 
She has a rock on her hand. We have no date set and it has been 3 years as of next month. We are in no big rush. I was told growing up "Why mess up a good relationship with a bad marrage"
