We have seen it in movies, we have heard about stories and some of us have been blessed enough to actually experience all the emotions associated with being in love and proposing or being proposed to. You look at the elderly couple walking down the street, hand in hand, just like they did 20 years ago. This type of love is rare but still found.

When proposing there is a couple of things that have to be kept in mind for example:

When will it be the right moment to propose? What type of ring does my girlfriend like? What ring size does your partner wear? Would she/he prefer that I ask her parent’s permission first? How will your own parents react? How am I going to propose? Going down on one knee or popping it into a wine glass as in the movies? Where am I going to propose? At a party or at a restaurant? Are we old enough to take this step? Has your partner finished studying? How does your partner feel about getting engaged?

The choice is completely yours but remember that this opportunity usually only comes once, make full use of it and try to plan it to precision. Consider each question above and make sure that you can answer it without hesitation.

Keep in mind that the journey you are about to embark on, might not be as easy as you thought it was. Money, commitment, passion, timing, new responsibility, moving in together, steady jobs, compatibility, parents, proper housing, higher self-discipline and marriage are active factors that need to be considered, without them the chances are that the relationship / engagement will fail.

In the end it all comes down to the love you share and your ability to care for your future hubby or wife. Share in the challenges that you might face and keep in mind what the payoff will be. Stay strong through this process and transition and everything will work out for you.

God bless on your journey towards engagement and marriage. Stay romantic and keep on caring. Thank you for reading.

What is the best way to start off a new life joined with another?

Make an impression that shows you care about her true feelings and desires, show her that the little things that are important to her are part of your thoughts and feelings too. Don’t take a chance of blowing this, as you may not get another chance to show her how much you care and that you truely want to spend the rest of your life with her.

The best way to be able to do this is to pay attention to what she says and does. Marriage is the union of two people into one, and when you are ready to merge your life with someone elses, making sure that your marriage proposal leaves a lasting impression is extremely important.

Proposal of marriage, in most cases is more important than your actual wedding and if you don’t think so then think about this. Ever noticed that whenever someone (like parents) talks about when the got married to their children, they always start talking about ” I can remember when your dad proposed to me” or ” I remember when your dad asked me to marry him”. 

It is seldom that they actually start off by talking about the day they got married, because the proposal is just as (if not more) important than the wedding itself.

Just like on TV, every now and then, some news anchor proposes to his girl on the air, or in some gameshow, some guy decides to pop the big question to his girl in front of a live audience.

Why?… Because it is the excitement of him having the nerve to do it, and the suspense of whether or not she will accept it. 

So, if your thinking about popping the big question but are needing some proposal marriage ideas, there tons of ways to do it, but make sure you do it the right way as this will be one of the most important days of her life… Don’t blow it.
