I need words of wisdom to be patient for the engagement.
My boyfriend is 32 and I am 25. We have been together for three years and we live together. I own my own house and he moved in officially in February. Prior to that he slept over every night anyway. As you can read in my other postings, he is somewhat immature in the sense of marriage and commitment. When he moved in back in February he told me that we would be engaged within a year. I have reminded him about his promise. I still feel that it is not going to happen. He continuously looks for excuses and does not open up easily. I do love him. He is difficult in the sense that he is not very loving. Please help me with some words of wisdom about being patient and not wanting to marry!

I think you have to respect his wishes over marriage. You surely wouldn't want to pressure someone in to marrying you against their will?
I understand that some people see marriage as a way of celebrating your love for each other and announcing your life long committment to someone. However in reality, the only difference will be a ring on your finger and a title change from Miss to Mrs. Marriages fail and there's no law against wearing a ring on the ring finger before marriage!
In my view, the more important parts of your relationship such as the closeness and committment will still be there whether married or not.
