The movie coming out soon- "He's just not that into you" got me to thinking- Do men prefer to not get married? Do men generally get married because they feel women push them to it? Im not talking about wealth just in general.
Me and my boyfriend are the opposite. He wants to get married but I'm in no hurry to do so. That doesn't mean that I don't love him, I just never really understood marrige I guess. =/ I know one day I'll marry him just not anytime soon. I guess I also have a fear of screwing up the wedding.
I'm sure it varies; all I can speak for is myself. My first marriage, 33 years ago, was pretty mutual I think. We'd set a date for about a year away, but when I returned from college and checked at the courthouse, I discovered I'd be getting my draft notice in 10 days. Bride wanted a big wedding, so it was a very busy 10 days. I didn't have time to get the pre-wedding jitters. (At that time Uncle Sam wasn't drafting married guys, but he did start a few months later.)
My last two marriages were a little more for the ladies. I had no objection to getting married at all; I just didn't really care much one way or the other. They had both moved in with me, my late wife for 10 months and my current wife for 36 months before the wedding, so I felt married with or without the ceremony. I'd say I wanted to get married both times, but without a little encouragement the weddings would have taken place later... if at all.
Listening to men talk, I find that it's generally the men who want to get married. They want the security of being taken care of, hot meals, clean clothes, clean house and regular sex. Men want to be babied. Women, on the other hand, at least the ones I hang around, are in no big hurry to get married and lose their freedom.
