How to Get a Man to Marry You - 5 Tips

5. 'Be Hard to Get But Easy to Be With'

That's according to relationship experts Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider. In their book, 'Not Your Mother's Rules: the New Secrets for Dating, they explain that men like a challenge, so you shouldn't be easy to get. Having said that, once you're actually in a relationship, you should be relaxed, not a difficult diva. Do you complain? Are you overly critical? A nice guy will ONLY commit to a woman with a positive personality.

4. Don't Go On a Vacation With Him That's Longer than Four Days

This was something I didn't understand at first, but the book 'All the Rules' implies that men will try to get all the benefits of having a wife without actually making a commitment. So you have to make it clear (without actually saying so) that if he wants to see that much of you, he has to propose. Fein and Schneider think you should save the week-long vacations until after you're engaged.

3. Ellen Fein and Sherri Schneider Say You Shouldn't Live With Him

I know this is hard because most people live together before their married these days. But they say that a man is more likely to propose if you don't live with him. Think about it: when you're already living together, he has all the benefits of having a wife without having to make a commitment. He has company, someone to cook with him, someone to help him with the laundry and the chores. So why should he be in any rush to get married?

2. If He Says He Wants to Get Married 'Soon' Give Him 6 Months (Max 12)

In 'Not Your Mother's Rules', Fein and Schneider say that if a man makes it clear that he wants to marry you (if he says 'you'll get engaged soon') then wait 6 to 12 months for him to give you an engagement ring and set a wedding date. If he doesn't, then you might have to break up with him because he could be wasting your time.

1. Don't Mention Stone Cuts, Settings, Or Any Ring Talk After Getting Engaged Verbally

When your boyfriend says that you'll get engaged 'soon', give him a little time to produce the ring and set the date. It's not a good idea to 'casually' leave wedding magazines where he can see them, or to drop other not-so-subtle hints. As long as he has confirmed that you're getting married (and the 6 to 12 month time limit hasn't passed) allow him to surprise you with the ring.

When you're ready to get married and start a family, it can seem like your boyfriend is taking forever to propose. Visit http://getengagedtoday.com for unique information on how to get him to marry you by using subtle strategies that work.
