There was a loud noise from a group of happy people who were jubilating when one of the choristers walked to the altar with a microphone to propose to his partner who had no premonition that she was going to start the month of February with such pleasant surprise.The beauty of this proposal was the thoughtfulness of the man who shares her passion for music. They are both choristers and there was no better place to make her dream happen other than in a place where they worship together, in the presence of their spiritual family. How memorable such a proposal can be!
A marriage proposal is a process of asking a partner with whom you have been in a short or long-term relationship to grant your desire to take your relationship into a more committed initiation of marriage and all its gratifications. A marriage proposal is very significant and many women in a relationship often desire to experience it. Men are traditionally expected to make a proposal to women, but in recent years, some women have taken it upon themselves to propose to their men for various reasons.
Ready or not?
As many women are looking forward to marriage proposals, this coming Valentine’s Day may be a pleasant surprise. While some men are ready and eager to take the bold step into the future, many are still pondering and unprepared to come out of their comfort zones and take what they perceive as ‘risk’ owing to the rising figure of divorces in new marriages today.
Parental values
The decision to propose is absolutely left to him even when you both believe that your relationship is ripe enough to take you down the aisle. Men are expected to take up the bigger responsibility of the household finances, being breadwinners in many cases.
If your partner has been nurtured by parents with strict family values and handed certain principles by his father to be the provider, he is not likely going to make a marriage proposal until he is financially secured to take up his role as the head of his family.
Career
A late proposal may be as a result of his career, especially if he is still struggling to get a grip of his career. Also, if a man is very obsessed with his work and derives joy in what he does, he may not be prepared to propose even if his relationship is as good as it can get.
He may not want to eat his cake and have it at the same time; his career is definitely going to be his first love while his relationship comes second. He will certainly want to feel secured about his career prospects and financial situation before getting a wife.
Marriage price tag
Delay in proposing can also be attributed to the cost of marriage ceremonies and the expectations from the families. If your partner believes that your family is extravagant and are likely to go over the top having witnessed a wedding in your family, if he is not prepared to lavish his hard-earned income and also has the support of his parents who may not be financially buoyant enough to assist their son, the proposal may take longer than necessary until you can both reach a compromise.
