Welcome to another special edition of our bi-weekly column — Sunday Love Special.<\/p>\n

There have been quite a number of viral videos of late, with the woman proposing marriage to her man. In all the videos I’ve watched, the man said yes — meaning, the men also had marriage at the back of their minds. This is looking like a trend that would soon be popular in time to come.<\/p>\n

So, do you think it’s okay for the woman to propose marriage to her man?<\/p>\n

Drama and Shawn would share their opinions with us — do feel free to join in if you don’t support their argument.<\/p>\n

Drama<\/b><\/p>\n

I wouldn’t say it is morally wrong or out-of-place, but I think it is rather awkward for a woman to ask a man to marry her; it should be the other way round. And I’m not trying to sound chauvinistic or ‘old school’, it’s just that I’m used to seeing and hearing men do the asking, so, it just seems a little awkward for me to have it any other way. But is it wrong or sinful or criminal? — Absolutely not. It’s like a woman asking a man out; it’s basically about how badly you want to have what you like, there\u2019s nothing wrong about that.<\/p>\n

The reason I wouldn’t encourage any woman I care about to do something like that though is because I don’t think the world is exactly ready for that sort of change just yet. As much as some hate to admit it, the world still views certain tasks or duties (obligations) as strictly for men, and marriage proposal is one of such duties.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen the way some societies frown at women who ask men out, as if it were a sin or crime, and sometimes, branding women like that ‘desperadoes’. So that is one reason. The other is that this thought pattern has affected a lot of men, so they have no respect for women like these because they feel they’re desperate and ‘cheap’. It would be disastrous for any woman to get into an awful marriage by her own doing. I’ve seen cases of relationships where women did the asking, and it just didn’t end well because they were under-appreciated by the men.<\/p>\n

So, as much it is not wrong to go for something you want so badly, I wouldn’t advise a woman to propose to her man, no matter what. If you love him so much that you want him in your life forever, wait till he’s ready, and if you can’t, walk into the arms of the one who is. Of course, there is always an exception to every rule. There are women who proposed, and are successfully married, but it’s just one in many cases. Most of the time, marriages like that eventually turn sour. So just allow him ask.<\/p>\n

It’s every woman’s dream to get married to that man she deems special, but men on the other hand are less eager to getting married as compared to women — men have so many other dreams, and this could make getting married a more distant dream. This is probably the reason why women wait for years upon years for a man to propose and it still doesn’t come forth. In all fairness to women, waiting for a man to propose isn’t really an easy task, and a lot of men end up not marrying those women that have been there for them. From this context, it isn’t really wrong for the woman to pull up the question and ask her man if he would marry her.<\/p>\n

However, society doesn’t really permit that. Society deem it’s the man’s role to ask and the woman to accept — and a woman who asks her man to marry her would be seen as desperate. But, which is more desperate — a woman who lovingly asks her man to marry her or the one who doesn’t, but pressures him behind the scene for marriage? I would go with the former than the latter.<\/p>\n

While I still retain my last bit of ‘old-fashioness’ by preferring the man to propose, I honestly don’t think it’s wrong for the woman to propose. If anything, she would know if the man really had plans of marriage in sight.<\/p>\n

For one, I’d love to sit on and watch as a man gets to be served a meal we are used to dishing; it would actually be pulsating and highly romantic.<\/p>\n
