How I Got Him To Marry Me: 50 True Stories
by Cherise Kelley
in its Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged!
50 women who got married after 1990 tell you their answers to:
“How did you get him to marry you and not just live together?”
Living together instead of getting married began to be acceptable in the 1960s hippie culture, and by the 1980s, many young men no longer saw the point in marriage. I watched the culture change, but I didn’t catch on until it was almost too late for me. Before the 1980s, the man was the one who pushed for marriage. By the 1990s, living together instead of being married was almost expected among young people. Now, in the 21st century, women have a hard time getting married, even if we really want to. If you’ve been under a rock and haven’t noticed this, then search the Internet for the page titled “US Census Marriage and Divorce,” and prepare to have your mind blown.
I’m almost 50 years old now, and I’m a trained teacher. I’m tempted to tell you what to do.
I remember when I was young, though. No one could tell me what to do! I thought I was smarter than all the older people who were always trying to give me advice.
Fortunately, the 50th woman to give me her story threw in all the advice I would have given you, anyway! I hope you take it to heart. She’s been married for twenty years, which is two years longer than I have, so she did something right when she got him to marry her.
I’m going to resist the temptation to tell you how to interpret these women’s true stories. I’m just going to present them in the best possible light and let you read between the lines to figure out how to get him to marry you. These 50 true stories represent women from many walks of life, so you should find at least one you can identify with. Enjoy!
Reviews
“I read this book shortly after having an argument with my hubby, and I immediately felt as though we shouldn’t fight.” –Deal Sharing Aunt
“Wouldn’t feminists tell a woman to know what she wants and go for it?” –Bridget Jackson of Persephone of Erebus
“The book is profanity-free, and there are only references to sex. While the book tackles every kind of heterosexual relationship imaginable, marriage is what is stressed. And this was incredibly refreshing.” –Ruth A. Hill of My Devotional Thoughts
“There was something to learn from every story, even the ones that made me go ‘What? I’d never do that!‘” –Writer Lisa Mason
“I liked the stories of the women who were strong enough to stay true to what they wanted (and were willing to walk away from the relationship) rather than having to resort to manipulation or pressure.” –Teena In Toronto
“I also admired the woman who said she was the prize that her man should be glad to catch. That’s the kind of attitude women should have about themselves, guys should be lucky to get us as we are, not ask us to change.” –Sharing Links and Wisdom
