The reason he says this can be only two reasons:
1. He wants to see how you'd react. Its a test to see if you're afraid and will bolt on him, thus making him believe you are what he thinks (someone not ready for a serious relationship and just runs away when things get scary), or you aren't afraid of the possibility. Even if you just met , you must understand that it doesn't take long to tell if you can picture yourself with someone the rest of your life.
Be awair that even though he is joking right now, this is not a "clingy guy" particularly. This is a serious guy. A guy who knows what he wants, and isn't afraid to say it. You should ask yourself wheither or not you know what you want, and if you're ready to be with someone serious. If you're not then this man is not for you. You're better off finding someone a lot more casual and less caring about what will happen with the relationship.
2. He is just obsessed with you. In this case, be careful.
Im leaning a lot more towards #1, mainly because #2 wouldn't say it in a joking way so much. #2 is a lot more clear and out there, in kind of a scary way.
You could ask him what he means by it rather than asking us. All you have to do is communicate. When he jokes about it, respond to him, ask him what's going through his mind and to be real.
Dont beat around the bush and waste time. Just get it straight from the horses mouth.
He likes you and would like to become your boyfriend, and he sees you as the kind of girl he would be able to settle down with. So he jokes about it to see if you feel the same way, depending on your reactions will tell him whether or not you are into him so he can decide to make a move. If you do like him and would like to at least be boyfriend and gf... nothing more as of right now, then next time he jokes about getting married, make a comment something like, "Well before we get married we gotta become boyfriend and girlfriend first don't we?" If you do NOT want to date him then when he brings it up kinda act like you don't really care... for example: oh.. yeah... that's cool" (you can use your own words just giving you a start) and he should be able to get the hint that you don't like him like that.
just joking about marriage DOES NOT in any way mean he's ready for it. if he's immature than its just a power test to see whether or not you're more into him than he is into you. If he's joking about it and not even close to being ready to be married then I would be very cautious. he could be a man child who likes to play without thinking of the consequences. A successful marriage takes two people who are ready to fufill the responsibilities of a lasting relationship. If you think he's ready then it could be a genuine quip to gauge interest (whether you are ready to accept marriage/ would want to think about it). if he's in his 30s he probably knows he can't "waste" time like he did in his 20s.
Maybe he thinks that you guys have a lot in common...maybe that's his way of also saying he is interested in you. :)

I did that when speaking to a woman I met back in 1999. We're not married but we have had a odd sort of on and off back on by off ... relationship. I guess the answer is that he really likes you and sees you as the type of woman he could marry at some point.
Don't fall for this too fast. I have had guys say this to me and when things began to get really heated and heavy between us, they backed off.
Go really easy and tell him too you both should.
He's just an asshole. Stop talking to him. He's just playing you- and badly at that. He probably thinks that that will make you like him
haha, he can't force you to marry him, maybe he just have nothing better to say. and if you don't like him just say "no, you should get married" :)
He crazy plain and simple my friend is like that areal whacko
