You're Ready To Get Married But He Isn't... What's Going On?
"Often a man gives up his dreams: dreams of being a bachelor and dreams of the work he desires. Not only is he giving that up, but, if marriage and family have been your priority, you're getting your dreams fulfilled." Men Made Easy We laugh and joke all the time about how men don't want to get married. But men do get married...all the time; two and a half million of them every year. And how many adult men (who are straight) do you know who have never been married? Hardly any. But there is some truth to the jokes because men do seem to drag their heels and put it off as long as possible.
At the core of this issue is how differently men and women view marriage. For
starters, most women are preparing to get married from day one, when they first fell in love with their daddy. Didn't you and your friends pretend wedding? By contrast, how many little boys were playing wedding? For women, getting married is a dream-come-true; the culmination of the fantasy that began the first time they heard a fairy tale with a prince in it. Isn't that what princes are for, to whisk the beautiful maiden off to his castle to live happily-ever-after? Sure, some of you are into your careers and postponing marriage, but if you follow any conversation between women, eventually they'll get around to talking about
men and their relationships with men. continued
