We never did get married and we did eventually split. Not because of the differences of opinion but because we just weren't working.
I met my husband in 2010 and we got married just under a year later.
I don't think marriage is for everyone, and many will stay with someone happily throughout their life and not have to get married. But if its important to you, for whatever reasons you have, is it worth telling him how you feel on the subject?

I would say the bold is one of the main important ideals to me of marriage.
Thanks to all of you for the input, it's on par with my thinking on the whole thing. Not something I'm stressing over, just looking to the future a bit. Even if he and I had not had this conversation, next year would even be too soon. Just the over thinker in me looking forward is all
He never said he wouldn't ever get married just expressed doubts about if he ever wanted to. Pretty much why it got me thinking about the whole thing. I know I want to eventually because of what it means to me, but I'm in no rush!
