My boyfriend has discussed our future together many times. He is not the type to be indecisive he is very firm and has longevity. He told me since he laid eyes on me, he knew. He has brought up marriage and he's discussed it with me. He says he ideally would like us to marry in 3 years.

I'm curious to why Anyone would discuss something like this. He is 25, and a very hard worker knows what he wants etc. I kind of sense he wants to marry me yes because he loved me and sees me as the one, but perhaps because his father is the only parent around and his father is getting quite old. And he also doesn't have family here in the country. Could this be why? We've been together for quite some time.
