Love, commitment, how long you've known the person, do value systems match, compatibility on kids, religion, food, views towards money, view on relocating for each other's job, relationships with extended family, health & habits of partner, partner's ability to communicate & express feelings. If you ready need to "think" about it, perhaps you're not quite ready. Life has no easy answers. Marriage is hard for everyone -- even if you really love the other person. Know that going in. Commitment to working through hard times is important.

Whether or not you love the person asking you, and if you have some common life goals (such as children for example).
-
Your feelings, the other person's feelings, the way relationships are with other people, financial situations, the wants of each person.

About 150 items or so. Let's start with whether you feel love for the proposer? Do you feel love for yourself? Can you accept yourself as you are, without judgment? If so, then you will be able to accept, or reject, one who proposes to you. Acceptance is key to a significant relationship. Without full acceptance, first of yourself then of your partner, without this acceptance, the relationship will not survive. If there is true and full acceptance, then other issues like money, kids, family, jobs and so forth, all those things will fall into place. Accepting yourself is one of the hardest things a person can do. Accepting another is almost as hard. Good luck with this.

Love. Everything else falls into place when you love someone unconditionally. If you have to "consider" it, you probably shouldn't accept.
