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.
