Know Your Must-Have Values
- Don't stay with a man who fundamentally rejects marriage if it's important to you.
- Accept that wanting marriage means you need a partner who shares that value, not just commitment.
Don’t Pressure for Marriage
- Avoid pressuring your partner into marriage; it tends to backfire.
- Give him time to choose marriage freely when he feels ready, rather than setting arbitrary timelines.
People Want to Choose Freely
- People prefer to choose on their own terms rather than be sold to or pressured.
- This principle applies to major commitments like marriage as well, where autonomy boosts willingness.
