"Hi, I'm Joe Cuenco with Family Resources. Today we're going to be talking about how to get him to step up to the table. In particular, how to get him to propose and make a wedding proposal. Well the first question that you really going to ask is, what type of relationship progression have you been making is as a couple. Have you talked about long term commitments and talked about marriage and talked about families? Are the foundation fundamentals there? Is there love, trust, respect, friendship and communication? 'Cause these things have to be there before you make an actual next step. You really need to understand each other and really need to have a dialogue open. Is there love, is there trust there, is there, the dialogue is taking place to where you can have that type of intimacy to where it's just a natural progression to say, "well, what's the next step for us as a couple". Many couples choose to live together, many couples decide that rather than doing that, they want a more traditional approach of moving in together, buying a home or whatever, after they, after they get married. Now sometimes, one way to do this is to drop subtle hints, send him cards, emails, something subtle talking about, living happily forever with you, wanted to be with you for the rest of my life, of our life. Or, if the subtle approach doesn't work, because sometimes guys are pretty thick headed, sometimes a direct approach. When you're popping the question? So have communication, have dialogue. But if you have the foundation fundamentals, and the relationship is making the right progression, there really should be a natural next step. Now that's not to say that saving your engagements, having, having work successfully, but oftentimes, ladies fiance's are not willing to wait that long.
