will you marry me?

hmmmnnn... i've never asked anyone... lol i've been asked before, several times i think by previous boyfriends. the last boyfriend, when he asked the first time, i thought it was too soon for me. we were barely a month in the relationship and he wanted to get married already. i wasn't ready. i think he wanted to time it with his father's visit from the US or to take advantage also of someone giving us a wedding gift of trip for 2 to US if we had decided to get married in his hometown there or just take a quick honeymoon. again, i wasn't ready to take that huge step. no matter how tempting it was. marriage for me is a lifetime commitment. not just a contract, nor a ceremony, and not just a social event in one's life. i'm not looking for someone to just swoon over whenever i see him (no matter how yummy he is like the the photo of my ex i showed you. lol). i've always been serious about life and would love to have happiness shared with someone. someone to share life with and explore together life's wonders, mysteries, joys, triumphs/success and little miracles everyday. perhaps i'm too naive or to idealistic but that's the way i am. i know harsh realities in life and it never is perfect. marriage is not always perfect, as any relationship is. but finding happiness even in the midst of life's imperfections, and sharing it with someone... for a lifetime. that's what i want. have a great weekend!

Hello Baby! Marriage for me is a sacred vow between two partners into a lifetime commitment. A Marriage contract is not just a piece of paper as what others had so aptly described. I think it best to not settle down if both or any of the partners are undecided to a lifetime commitment. It is sad to note that most of us try to dive in to a marriage situation and then end up hurting each other.

hi bhaby... Now you...."will you marry me? " hahahaha... Follow this link to a discussion.. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2430315.aspx have a nice day.

bhaby, Now what? Do we need a judge -not mind the priest as this a quick or rush one. Do we need a wedding singer or we can just have this ceremony done at P*13 (promoting hehehe) What can i say about this? I will let you know when someone will ask me this question. I need to post a topic then "WHO WANTS TO MARRY JAIHO"

No marriage is NOT just a social status.It is not a legal contract, it is a divine concept Marriages are made in heaven but it gets materialized here on earth, when the right time comes.. As per our faith we marry a woman that lasts for 7 consequent births Wish you marry to an indian , our hinduway, making 7 rounds , around sacred fire and making the vows aloud.. Thanks for sharing, Honey beta, you have the blessings from Baba God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘@Bhuwan@’. .

yes. (shy)few girls wanted me to marry them.but,i dont want to marry for my entire life.

Hi Bhaby! Marriage is the most solemn pledge we can make in our lifetime. To marry someone or not is a crucial personal decision that we all want to get right as bad marriage can really play havoc with the rest of our life. One should NEVER marry just for convenience, get swayed simply by emotions, give in to peer or societal pressures. Couple which is compatible, is in love, is trusting of each other and is ready to commit for right reasons need marry!

I believe that marriage is a vow. I feel that if you are not ready to be with one person for the rest of your life than you shouldn't get married. I love my husband and I took the vows. Not once have I even thought about breaking them. My daughter feels the same way. She in my opinion, did it right. She was with the guy for a year (not long enough in my opinion) in that year they lived together and slept together. They had the idea of what it would be like together before they took the vows of forever. If you can't live withthe way your partner lives than how are you going to spend the rest of your life that way?

I was proposed to; I accepted and got married, however it did not last forever. I do think that the modern marriages are social arrangements instead of holy occasions with lifetime commitment. Many years ago marriage was an important and sacred part of people lives. The couple just seemed to understand the unity was between the two people for better or worse. However, today when a couple have trouble in the marriage they never try to work it out, they just get a divorce and move on to the next partner and perhaps repeating the same mistakes.

Hi Bhabycatch, Well ours is a love marriage. When i got a proposal from my hubby, i was surprised. I had tears in eyes for i like him so much as well. But am speechless except for tear drops, he said simply he got answer! Then we spoke with our parents and after long struggle we got married happily. I am not sure if its legal or commitment, its a strong feel at heart till end of life, we want dear one to be with us. I feel marriage bonds that feeling!

i dont know if guys nowadays understand the very essence of marrying and asking a woman in marriage. i have been asked this twice by different men but it was never out of the serious context of marriage. i mean yeah at that time, sure they love me but when they asked, it did not mean it as "will you marry me" marriage thing. its just for the sake of wanting to know if i want to marry them in the future or not. probably because it isnt as serious as it should be thats why it didnt feel as beautiful as i expected it to be.

I am from india where marriages are normally fixed by the parents. I did not have the confidence to approach others for marriage. It is only parents who helped. Now I am 60+ and am fine. But nowadays in India too, boys and girls make friendship in college or workplace which results in marriage and sometimes not. Marriage is a commitment to take care of the other accepting his/her shortcomings. Marriage is not a social status but an indicator of the growth of the person concerned.

If only marriage meant the same today as it did so long ago. But I guess that's just how desensitized our culture has gotten over the years. And quite too fast, if you ask me. All our old world morals and virtues are so rare to find these days. My girlfriend and I plan on getting married and being together for the rest of our lives. And I do hope we stay together and have a happy life together.

Well, I should agree with you that marriage is a vow of lifetime commitment. It's really sweet to think of it as such. But sadly, most marriage fail for some reasons. I'm now thinking how am I to be proposed or will I ever be ask for marriage. lol. I just hope I could find the man who will respect me in every aspect and also take care of my fears. I will definitely take care of my married life if the right time comes. :)
