Question - (8 October 2008) 4 Answers - (Newest, 8 October 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

How long should I wait for my boyfriend to propose to me? We have been together for 2 years now and have had a huge fight about marriage. He knows how important it is to me, and has even led me on about getting married. During our huge fight he told me that he didn't know how he felt about marriage. I love him dearly and don't want our relationship to end, but how long should I wait for him to make up his mind?

you wait untill he is ready to force him into it or else in a few years to come it will come back to haunt you. if you love him as much as you say then just be greatfull youve got him in you life. marrage isnt everything as long as your happy with your man then thats what counts. word of advice dont argue about marrage think about the positive things like your ralationship.

This is such a common question. In the beggining the guy tells you what he wants you to hear. He knows how much marriage means to you and to keep you happy tells you he will marry you one day. Women are emotional beings and males are more physcal. Chances are he may just not be ready for the committment as yet! he may never be...but who knows. The fact is I imagine you both have already slept together. The relationship must be based on this now and because he has already been given the prize he may not feel as though marriage is that important.

Why buy the cow if the milk is free? God designed marriage for two people that love each other but due to sin we all fall into the trap of acting out God will and doing things our own way and then get it all wrong. You should wait for as long as you wish to wait and just pray that maybe he will marry you but chances are (due to the argument) he is just not ready yet!

As long as you can stand being single! If he doesn't want to get married there's absolutely no point in trying to coerce him. Do that and disaster in the shape of divorce won't be too far off.

If you've had enough of waiting and marriage is that important to you, break up and find someone who is actively looking for a wife!
