6 Reasons why marriage is so important to women Is your girlfriend waiting for you to pop the question? Maybe she is awaiting you to step forward to make the big step. Often men wonder, why women are so hasty about marriage and commitment. Why can’t they just relax? What is about a proposal that makes a lady go gaga for a man? It’s not that women are desperate or in serious need of a big gesture like proposal or marriage. If you think about women, from their perspective you might realize that it’s very natural for women to give marriage much more importance than men do or ever will. Let’s have a look at six most important reasons why marriages are exciting for a woman:
1. Childhood dream Believe it or not, every girl has had a dream since childhood about getting married to the prince charming of her dreams. As she grew up, she learnt more and more about marriage, and she built a fancy wedding for herself in her mind. Every girl has thought of how her marriage will be, what she will wear and how she will look the most adorable. This is inbuilt in every woman. The wedding day, is a topic for many girly conversations and many movies even revolve around how a woman details every bit of her wedding, which in fact is true.
2. Emotional security With men and their ways, it is difficult to be without a serious commitment coming from them. Some men can go to the extent of dating a girl for 5 years or more and still freak out if she asks for a marriage. Just like men, women too need emotional security. Earlier it was also because of financial security, but women are more and more independent these days. Women are emotional beings. They need just one person to be with them through all ups and downs of their lives. Hence they crave for a marriage and emotional union more than a man does.
3. Parental pressure Many women face a lot of parental pressure to get married as early as possible. Men though, aren’t troubled for marriage as much as women are. Women age faster than men and emotional maturity comes faster to a woman than it does to a man. Hence, they feel the need for marriage much before a man does. Some parents can be extremely nagging about their daughter’s wedding which further adds to their pressure. Parents might also feel that as their daughter gets older, she might turn unattractive to attract a groom who is good enough!
4. Societal pressure A woman always waits to catch the bouquet when at her friend’s wedding. There is always some amount of societal pressure among women to get married. A single girl who has all her friends married feels more pressure than probably a single guy does. There is always an aunt or a relative who exclaims how it is too late for her to find a decent guy. Some relatives can also turn cupids and tire out a woman by constantly match-making them with some guy or the other.
5. Declaration to the world Marriage is not just a commitment to a man, for a woman. It is the public declaration of love. Saying vows and accepting a man as ‘her man’ in the presence of her loved ones, is a unique experience every girl wishes to have. It is her declaration to the world that she has finally found love and wishes to have a beautiful life ahead with him.
6. Maternal instinct Women have an inborn maternal instinct. They have reasons to marry faster than men may tend do. It is a known fact that conceiving a child becomes more and more difficult for a woman as her age increases. Besides, it is not a very pleasant thought for a woman to have a kid at the age of thirty five or forty. It also becomes increasingly difficult to handle kids with growing age.
