Unfortunately, there is no secret or exact timeline to getting engaged. Like most things surrounding your relationship, it\u2019s entirely up to you and your partner. While some people might feel like total strangers after a few months, others might be ready to take it to the next level. That being stated, there are certain milestones that can help you learn a lot about your relationship before tying the knot. Read on to see which markers to look for when thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/jewelry-education\/how-to-tell-your-friends-and-family-youre-engaged\/\">getting engaged<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Spending a major holiday together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The holidays are a time of joy, excitement and\u2026quite a bit of stress. Sharing old traditions with one another as well as creating new ones can be an exciting step in your relationship. Plus, if you\u2019re thinking about starting a family together, you\u2019ll get a glimpse into what that might look like during these special moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/engagement-rings\/c\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"614\" height=\"384\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_header_blog_1-614x384.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5348 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_header_blog_1-614x384.jpg 614w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_header_blog_1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_header_blog_1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_header_blog_1-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_header_blog_1-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_header_blog_1.jpg 2400w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 614px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 614\/384;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Getting sick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tissues and coughing and mucus, oh my! While catching a cold is certainly not a fun time for anyone, being around your partner when you\u2019re ill (and vice versa) can help you to learn a lot about that whole \u201cin sickness and health\u201d part of your vows. Is your honey a complainer? Do they love to take care of you when you\u2019re feeling under the weather or prefer to keep their distance? It\u2019s good to recognize how you both act when you\u2019re not at your best \u2013 it tells you a lot about how you\u2019ll be throughout your potential marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The first big fight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you and your love are still in the honeymoon phase of your relationship, the idea of having a fight might seem like something you don\u2019t need to worry about. But even the best of couples end up knocking heads on occasion, and how you deal with conflict has a huge impact on how your relationship will fare in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Going on a trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing says \u201ccommitted relationship\u201d like traveling with your partner. Learning how your loved one deals with the stress of traveling, plane rides, packing and exploring new places can tell you a lot about how you will get along in the future. And while taking a vacation together can be fun, it\u2019s important to also travel for less-fun reasons, like visiting family or checking out a potential new hometown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/engagement-rings\/c\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_blog_images_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5349 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_blog_images_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_blog_images_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_blog_images_2-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_blog_images_2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/relationship_milestones_blog_images_2-380x285.jpg 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Meeting each other\u2019s families<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you come from a close-knit bunch or don\u2019t see your family much, it can be helpful for you and your partner to meet each other\u2019s ilk, at least to get an idea of where you both came from. There\u2019s baggage that can come attached to family and it\u2019s good to experience what it might be like when your two families become one (before they actually do, that is).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Having \u201cthe talk\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s one piece of advice we can impart, it\u2019s know\nwhere you both stand on marriage and future goals <em>before<\/em> you decide to get engaged. Does one person want a quick\nwedding and a big family, while the other would prefer a big affair and a\nnomadic lifestyle? Is one of you super thrifty while the other more of a\nspender? These are all important questions to ask yourselves \u2013 and, more\nimportantly, to talk about with your partner, before making any big life\ndecisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/engagement-rings\/c\">engagement rings<\/a> and marriage?
