I will be blunt - in this day and age, there is *NO* incentive for a man to get married. The silly laws in place make it so. He cheats on you, you get half his stuff....you cheat on him, you still get half his stuff and the kids. Catch my drift?
You CANNOT time the important milestones in your life.
So he doesn't talk about marriage. Take a step back...watch him:
What do his actions say? Does he respect you? Does he treat you well? Is he passionate in bed? Is he a good person?
If you answered yes to any of those, it's worth sticking around. Is your life long dream to have a wonderful relationship, or is it to have a piece of paper marriage license?

Just took the words right out of my mouth. While I like the idea of marriage *someday*, I agree that it's not something to rush. Things are less traditional these days. If things are going great between the two of you then there's no reason to rush. You've already been living together for a while, the only difference with getting married is having a piece of paper on top of that.
Basically, enjoy what's there NOW. If you keep worrying about what may or may not happen in the future, you're going to miss all the good stuff.
