Examine your conversations. Does she include you in her plans when she talks about the future?
Step2
Consider whether you're both traveling along the same pathway in life. Are you heading in the same direction? Do you share common interests and values?
Step3
Think about the compatibility of your goals. Do you both want the same things out of life, such as a family, kids, stability, money, careers? Are you interested in her work and hobbies? Does she seem interested in your job and pastimes, even she doesn't share your passion for them?
Step4
Evaluate how she treats you in private and in public. Does she brag about you to others? Does she seem proud to be with you, or does she avoid being seen with you in public places? Does she stick around when you're having a bad day, or does she disappear when you need her the most?
Step5
Evaluate how she treats your friends and family. Is she willing to be nice to your friends and family, even if she doesn't like them?
Step6
Assess her honesty and trustworthiness. Does she do what she says she's going to do? Do you feel you can trust her and depend on her?
Step7
Think about all the reasons why you really like her. Remember that lust fades, but genuine compatibility endures.
Step8
Communicate with your girlfriend and discuss these issues to figure out if you're both meant for each other.
Tips & Warnings
If she acts secretive or ashamed to be seen with you in public, re-evaluate your relationship. She may be trying to hide something from you!
Since every relationship is different, eHow does not guarantee that you'll marry your girlfriend by following these steps.

You know you are going to be with that person for the rest of your life if no matter how hard times are, no matter what happens in life she/he will stick by your side. Life throws a few curve balls at you, and if she/he's committed and serious, then sticking by your side just becomes a natural response.
