What do you think of a woman proposing marriage to her beloved?

Answer 1

Jen you wouldn't ask this if you weren't thinking of doing it. It's almost 2008. It is perfectly okay for a woman to propose to a man. Go for it. I think if you are going to do it you should get on one knee just as a man would. Good luck and I hope you get the answer you want.

Answer 3

Brittney Spears proposed marriage to Mr. K-Fed, & we all know how that turned out? Maybe Im a bit old fashioned, but I,m a firm believer in having a man ask a woman for her hand in marriage, come on, you dont really want to be the one proposing marriage? wait & have your man lead the way in this one.

Answer 4

It is a huge mistake whether the man proposes or the woman proposes. Marriage destroys all loving relationships even soul mates. Good luck!!!

Answer 5

When a woman falls in love, she waits for the man to tell her that he loves her. She will not even say it, that "I love you." A woman remains uncertain about her love until the man comes and tells her and makes her certain that, "Yes, it has happened." That's why women are not known to propose, and whenever a woman proposes to a man, the man will escape immediately -- because this woman is no woman; she is already a man. Proposal from a woman looks absurd. This is one way of thinking - a woman proposing marriage to her beloved.

Another way of thinking would be: If you cannot be certain about your love, who is going to tell you? Do you need somebody to make you assured?

Let me dwell a little in more detail on the first way of thinking, I just mentioned about.

Woman is passive; passive waiting is her way. She cannot be aggressive; she is receptive. She has not only a womb in her body, even her mind is like a womb. The English word woman, "wo-man", is very meaningful; it means a man with a womb. Woman's whole makeup is receptive, while man's makeup is active, aggressive. And although these two qualities, receptivity and aggressivity, seem to be contradictory, in reality they are complementary to each other. And as man and woman are complementary, so are their attributes. Man has what woman lacks and woman has what man lacks. That is how both together make a complete whole.

Woman's receptivity turns into waiting and man's aggressivity into search, into exploration. It is interesting to note that a woman never takes the initiative in proposing love to a man, she always receives proposals from the man. She does not take the first step; it is man who takes it. Not that she does not begin loving someone, but her love is always a kind of waiting. Waiting is her way of love, and she can wait long -- for lives.

In fact, when a woman becomes aggressive she immediately loses a part of her femininity, she loses her feminine attraction, Her beauty, her significance, her very soul lies in passive waiting, in infinite waiting. She can wait endlessly; she can never be aggressive. She will not go to a man and tell him, "I love you." She will not say it even to a man she loves with all her heart. She will, on the contrary, want the man she loves to come to her and say that he loves her. Another beauty of feminine love is that it never says a straightforward yes when the man a woman loves comes to propose his love to her. While verbally she says no -- which means yes -- she says yes with her silent gestures, with her whole being turned into love. It is always man who takes the initiative.

It is in this context that, in the past, we had an extraordinary rule, and it is good to know it and understand it. Women did not ordinarily propose love to men, but if once in a long while a woman came forward to propose her love to a man, he had to accept her; it was utterly immoral to say no to her. Since it happened rarely, it was ruled that such a proposal could not be turned down. If ever a man said no, it was thought that he had failed in his manhood. It was thought to be an insult to womanhood, which was so much respected in this country (India) in the past.
