That's what I'm wondering myself. Maybe they think they'll die tomorrow, which could be true, but not that likely. Otherwise, yes, what's the rush?

why are so manypeople in a rush for this major step it seems thay want to skip straight to ut without getting to know the person first i do have the same question ... and they are not bothered to know u understand u.. to know how u feel and why u react the way u react. marriages are life long commitment to me, and i think people should know each other well while some men are never bothered to.. and i dont understand why this is not important to them! |

what's odd is up until what,the 1950's or so,a guy could ask a woman to marry him maybe a week after meeting her and that was the norm and the marriages normally lasted til one of them passed away.now days,a man might know a woman a year and people think it's still way too soon to propose
what the heck changed? |

I dated my first wife 6 months prior to marriage.
I dated my second wife 1 week prior to marriage. First marriage: 1 year Second marriage: 12 years Apparently to get one that lasts I need to just date her for 1 day. |

In addition to MH's comments, the world has changed with families wanting more and more. In the 50's, a man could provide for a family by having a small house and plenty of fresh food to cook. It didn't cost that much to live.
Nowadays, each family member needs a cell phone, the house must have cable TV, energy costs many times what it cost then (gas was 20 cents a gallon), everything is air conditioned, medical care costs a ton ... all of this combined is much more likely to need two incomes and all the stress that goes with it. Relationships have changed. It's a different world. |
