Why do women pressure guys into getting married? its not like i dont love u or nethings its just.....the thought of marriage

Maybe it's because they want you to prove that you're willing to commit to them for a lifetime instead of for the time being = /

Well, it's what I think....

The whole taking half your stuff thing is kind of over the top if you ask me -_-; If they really love you, they should just let you keep all of it -_-; (no offence to the girls/ladies/women out there...)

Marriage is a contract for when you break up the bitch gets half your belongings *knife teeth*

Perhaps a girl would better answer this, but I can still give my current beliefs as to why they want marriage. Women want security. They want to feel safe, and going through all the trouble of getting married and the hell it takes to get a divorce adds a greater sense of stability than something that is more easily called off with but a few words. Furthermore, saying "My husband" has more meaning than "My boyfriend," adding a kind of "proof" that he loves her if he's willing to tie the knot.

Then again, there are also women like this:

i believe that girls wants to get married to feel more sure about their partners love for them,
my ex, who i recently broke up with wanted to get engaged after about 4 or 5 months of relationship, even if we were quite different. I never saw why or how that relationship could end with getting married, but she seemed to have it all planned out. I actualy asked her about why she wanted to get engaged and later, married to me.

There is no good answer really but from my point of view it seems like it is because women look for a safe relationship, and a way for them to feel reassured that they will allways be loved.

I'd rather call my girl my "partner" instead of my girlfriend if I wasn't married.

actually i think marriage is a good way to know themselfs better or more like the secret sides of each person....just like in your family you learn their habits its the same thing...thats how i see it from my perspective other than passing MORE time with them.

now as woman i can only guess since i am not one neither i like to talk more about the subject with "partners".
some females are rather possesive, so married is like beign super loyal to them its like saying you love them forever, and even if you had females friends "he is with me always everyday look my lovely husband and he is so romantic etc etc etc"
in simple words its a self confidence boost.

Perhaps a girl should chime in.
