3-2-1… Ring countdown
Marriage is one of the major social institutions that many women desire to live within. However, with the changing times, it’s an institution that seems to be less respected than in the past, and more and more men are opting out of solemnizing their unions.
Whatever their reasons, fact is, many women are in relationships giving marriage benefits to their men, all the while praying and hoping for that get down on his knees moment. Some wait for years; others insist that once the clock strikes a certain time, they’re out.
How long should you wait for him to pop the question?
RC:
I would say after one year a man should know exactly if the woman is wife material or not. Ladies, let no man waste your time and if you see him slacking off on this decision, stop giving him husband privileges. I stand with Miss Kitty on that.
HJ:
Two and a half years, because it gives you time to fully know the person. The last thing you want to do is marry a stranger; you will definitely regret it. Know exactly who you are tying yourself to. Marriage is serious!
TD:
It all depends on how you feel about the person. There is no timespan on love. Love is life, so if you meet someone and you want to marry them in a few weeks or months, that is your decision.
Jen:
Some men are wicked to have a woman wash and clean for years and no ring. I’m not staying around for that. Once he’s not talking about marriage in a few months, it’s time for me to leave.
Kayla:
As soon as possible, because you don’t want to be waiting around and gain nothing. Those will be wasted years.
