I feel that a marriage should happen when both people are certain they're ready. If there's any pressure from one person when the other isn't ready, it's just not a good start for a marriage... that person would probably always feel "trapped" or pushed into something they weren't ready for. Not a real good foundation to start a hopeful lifetime together.

I think that wanting to have your proverbial ducks in a row and get some loans paid off and so on is a healthy way to look at this. Good luck!
