For the first time, the idea of marriage crossed her mind.

Would he think she was pressuring him into marriage now?

She didn't want to jump into marriage with a man she hardly knew, but she didn't want to chance loosing him, either.

If the purpose of food is nourishment and the purpose of marriage is the family, the whole question resolves itself into not eating more than one can digest, and not having more wives or husbands than are needed for the family--that is, one wife or one husband.

It sounds as if your marriage was very happy.
