GF and I have been together coming up to 8 months now and we are very much in love, and have plans for 2 kids and a modest house together. We routinely talk about being married as if it is a foregone conclusion, and we are each excited for our shared future.
Our current incomes are roughly equivalent, however I have a significant amount of savings, and she has a nearly equivalent amount of debt in her mortgage (which she will pay over 20 years) and other ongoing commitments to helping her family back home, and helping some of them get settled well in Canada.
Her future earning potential is much higher than mine though, she is well educated and just starting a new career she loves, so
