First, ask your LONG-STANDING boyfriend if he loves you. If he cannot answer or hesitates, he is NOT ready for marriage. MOVE ON. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME.
If he answers “YES” to your “Do you love me” question, AND you’ve been dating for quite some time (i.e., generally over a year or two), but says that he does not want to get married or has given you excuse after excuse, there is an honest underlying reason he is does not to get married. See if he’s given you any of the following excuses, then go to STEP 3:
(a) I am in school right now and don’t want to deal with a wedding
(b) I don’t have any money for a wedding or a ring (tell him this is unimportant to you and you can get a cheap ring for now – as it should be if you truly want to get married)
(c) I just need some time and I don’t want to rush into things
(d) I am not ready to get married because my prior girlfriend hurt me
“I’m not ready to get married.” = TRANSLATION: (a) “I am waiting to see if someone better than you may come along;” or (b) “I just want you for sex and my own selfish security for the time being;” or (c) I want the option to sleep around or date other women without the fear of a legally binding commitment.”
GENERAL JUSTIFICATION FOR CONCLUSION – ASK YOURSELF THIS: If your marriage fearing boyfriend was dating (for as long as he’s dated you) an intelligent, personable, warm, loving, drop-dead gorgeous, perfect 10 (body and face) Playboy playmate or model, do you think if that Playboy model wanted to get married, he would say “NO?” OF COURSE NOT!!!! WAKE UP SISTA!! This is the harsh reality of most (not all, but) men.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO FORCE THE MARRIAGE ISSUE?
Make a demand. Give him an ultimatum – and stick with it. It will be tough. But better now than later wasting more time! Tell him you are moving on unless he commits to you through marriage. A year or so is fine to save up for a wedding, but don’t fall victim of a wedding date or engagement that last for years and years. It’s a stalling tactic. He is just buying more time. You must be prepared to live with the consequences of the ultimatum – yes, he may leave you). If he truly loves you and wants to spend his life with you, he will marry you. If he leaves you, then arguably, you saved yourself a lot of heartache and time wasted. Go find someone who is really your soul mate.
CAVEAT: As with any ultimatum, you do risk the chance that your boyfriend will marry you and go into it with half-hearted. This could lead to serious marital problems in the future. If you sense hesitation, it is recommended that you seriously evaluate whether you should plunge into a marriage with someone who is not 100% ready.
Honesty, compromise, faithfulness and the ability to trust; are all characteristics of a
relationship. In many relationships that go sour the cause being is a lack of one of the main
characteristics. At the same time these characteristics compose of those relationships that
last, those love stories you hear, those cute couples that seem to have no major problems
in the world. Should any of these characteristic be held to a higher plane than the rest, or
are good relationships based more on one characteristic than the other.
In the years that I have lived and that I have come to understand what a relationship
consist of, from the time one starts simply dating to the time a person decides that it is time
to find a long life suitor, I personally have held all characteristics at an equal level, or should
I admit that I try to. Holding all the main characteristics at the same level is not an easy
task, further more it is much more of experiencing than just knowing what you want.
Through my experiences I have found that although you might be certain of what you need
in a relationship, the interaction with the other is very different, it is in rare instances that
you find someone that holds all the same thoughts, feelings and wants in the same area you
hold them. If so I have found through experiences that, in that instance a relationship
where both hold all views on the same plane does not go well usually. In the addition to
having things in common when it comes to looking for a possible date, mate, or long life
partner, there has to be some type of conflict or disagreement in views for a relationship to
bloom.
