WHEN AND HOW TO BRING UP ENGAGEMENT OR MARRIAGE
If your partner is like most guys, he has lost all
credibility in marriage because of all the divorce and because we don't live in
a world where when attraction starts fading away, they stay with each other
trying to get it back, rather, in our world where if such happens we are more
likely to get a divorce. Remember the time when this behavior was typical of
famous people, well, Hollywood has won, they've officially made you believe
what happens in their lives is the superior way of living. Or maybe it's
because today Social Media has made us micro stars in our own world and we always
think we deserve better.
Choice can be a curse and free will is overrated.
It's no coincidence arranged marriages like in India
are happier and last longer.
Most men see Marriage as an institution, some seek
stability but I don't know any man who dreams of getting married. There might
be, I just don't know any.
Note that all this has anything to do with the actual
wedding. That's almost entirely a woman's dream.
That does not mean your man doesn't want to marry you,
it just means that we'd rather go to the notary's office, sign the papers and
that's it, we are officially husband and wife, which you don't want to. You
need the huge ceremony, as a matter of fact, you have got to have it for
that's your childhood dream.
The topic of marriage should come up not as
"let's talk about our future" kind of talk. It should come naturally,
step by step, when you start talking about how many babies you think you can
handle, when both feel it's time so that you don't shock him and scare him
away.
After he meets
your parents or family, it's always easier to talk about these things because
believe it or not, we tend to check your mothers to see whether you will be a
good wife or not or how fat you will be.
If years pass and he's still not just talking about
marriage but is avoiding the big talk, then we've got a problem. Normally this
happens because:
- He’s undecided about his own future,
- His family hates you and he's not sure he wants to
pick a side,
- He wants to get financially balanced in order to be
able to provide (it doesn't matter if you earn a great salary, it's not about
you, here, it's about a man's ability to provide),
- He thinks he's too young to commit. And he's still
lost in this world where we have too many options.
- He thinks you are not the one. (A concept I talk
about in this book)
- There's another girl and she's doing a better job
than you as a girlfriend.
- His friends keep telling him you are not marriage
material, and he doesn't want to look like a fool. (Reason why I talked about a
clean reputation or at least a clean present, proof that you are a serious
woman).
There are many more reasons than I can squeeze into
this one book. In a wife, men seek stability and trust, a woman who cares about
them and is present. I talked about this earlier.
