Will He Marry You?

Are you the perfect girlfriend? Do you do everything in your power to please him and gain his affection? You want to make his life easy because you love him. You may cook for him, clean, and do everything you can to please him and make him happy. Did it occur to you that this is why you don’t have the ring yet? He has it all already and he knows you aren’t going anywhere. Why should he marry you? What will inspire him to commit and propose to you? Will he ever marry you?

Imagine a world where the roles were reversed. Men cook for the women, do your laundry, pick up after you, and dote on you. On top of this he can’t wait to get married. He owns a hope chest filled with household items and silk bow ties for his groomsmen to wear at his wedding. He greets you at the door in silk boxers and boots ready to do a pole dance for you. He looks at and remarks about every baby he sees. Then he adds a few ultimatums. Where is my ring? Why can’t we get married? Chances are good you would think this guy was off his rocker and you would tie up you running shoes and sprint.

The funny thing is, a lot of women use this approach to catch a husband. They are the nice girl that puts everyone else’s needs before her own. She would put her man’s need before her own any day because she loves him so much. It’s the woman who loves herself first that men adore. They respect a woman who will not compromise her own values and life for that of a man. A man’s respect is the glue that holds it together. Earn his respect and you will win his heart. It’s the key to whether he will ever marry you.

The women men marry are usually the ones that don’t work overtime to catch a husband. They are strong, spirited women who stand up for themselves. She won’t compromise herself. This makes a man classify her as a woman with a mind of her own that he can’t walk all over like linoleum. This is the woman that a man will marry.

do you really want to live with your partner in a real-life, day-to-day, committed relationship? Not an "extended date fantasy lifestyle"?
