First, let me preface this by saying I think it's too early to think about marriage. You jumped in way too fast ( I would argue you shouldn't even introduce your kids to a date until six months in, and moving in with her after only 6 months was risky. And although you seem to be doing well in the relationship, a year and a half is still kinda early to be making that commitment again. It takes at least a couple years to really get to know someone.

Also there's the fact that you still have some nostalgia for your ex.

But separate from all that - if your main concern about marrying is financial - get a good prenup! I think anyone in a second marriage should consider a prenup, since your finances are more complicated than a young. People starting out with no assets. (But also, if GF is receiving spousal support, realize that may end if she marries you.
