I Think He's Trying To Tell Me Something 4/3/2008

My mom stopped by work today.  We chatted about my lil one.  We chatted about several things.  I casually mentioned Bill.  She didn't burst into flames.  I was proud.  She had handed me a bag with a little dress for my girl, some mail, and a paperback book.  She said, "Your dad ordered that book.  He said it's got *insert quotation marks with fingers here* statistics in it."  I didn't even look at it until she left. 

Why Marriage Matters: Reasons to Believe in Marriage in a Postmodern Society

What am I supposed to take from this?  Bill and I are not living together.  We are not ready for marriage at this point.  Is this a message that I should get married now simply because he and I are in a committed relationship but do not feel we are ready for marriage?  Do I want to marry this man?  Absolutely.  Am I ready to today?  No. 

I understand he loves me and is concerned for me.  And I do appreciate the literature.  And I'll probably read it.  I am just mulling over the meaning behind the book at this point.
