Are you willing to take care of her when she doesn't have her whits about her? Would you be willing to care for her if she was in a fire and half her face and body were burned beyond recognition? Would you be proud to be her husband if she became an alchoholic or drug addict? Or developed diabetes or MS or any other terrible disease? Or was unfaithful? Do you think she'd love you if the opposite happened?

Z-man, I really appreciate your replies. You make some excellent and thoughtful points. Despite my enthusiasm towards her, I definitely recognize that there should be a smooth progression. In response to your first post and the comment about moving in together: We are both fairly religious and while we don't follow the book perfectly, moving in would never cross either of our minds until there had been a wedding.
In response to your quoted questions:
To all but the first, I can answer a resounding yes. Right now, I can't answer that first question. I can't honestly say 'No' because I'm not all sure that I wouldn't, but the gravity of the question warrants more consideration than a snap non-IRL decision.
We both have our share of baggage and quirks and we're both aware of eachothers. Well, I know that I've admitted things to her that only one other person knows and she's admitted some very personal details to me as well.
Gogar, short, sweet, to the point and spot on.
