And will you support the engagement?

I think the bigger question is will China go to war with Taiwan; Will China Invade Taiwan. In this modern age, it is highly unlikely that the situation will arise given the vast information that can spread in a heartbeat around the world about an action. The US and USSR were in a cold war for decades without committing a first strike, and the result ended peacably. The Republic of China and the Peoples Republic have been at a similar standoff for a similar number of years, and no action will happen that would mar China's building honor in the world spotlight. At most, the mainland will keep rattling its saber to keep the island on its toes, but nothing damaging will happen.\n\nAnd lets try and keep the slanderous remarks down to a minimal ok?

If you've talked and both feel it's right, make the move. Sounds like you could be starting a beautiful family together.

I choose an answer, but I also understand where you are coming from.  What I hope will give you comfort is the knowledge they side with their spouse in order not to be divided.  (a united front and all)

The truth is yes there is a tie. The marriage vow tells us, "let the two become one flesh.".

But that won't happen, or you might get the half-hearted endorsement\n\nCountry first; party much later

commit yourself to keeping the promise

Who knows?  Maybe you guys really aren't ready to get engaged.  There's alot of pressure on couples when they get engaged.  People EXPECT that you're getting married pretty soon and they want to know a date and they want to know what you're planning for the wedding.  It sounds like your man shouldn't have promised something that he wasn't sure about.  It's unfair to say that "by this date we will get engaged" because things happen.  It doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't want to get engaged, it just means what he said, you guys aren't ready.  Maybe there's financial reasons behind that.  But a really good solution to this problem (because I know you are disappointed) is if your boyfriend still wants to get engaged and married in the future....he should buy you a promise ring.  My boyfriend and I have been together for four years and we're not ready to get engaged or married yet either.  But a promise ring lets you and your friends and family know that you guys are planning to get married one day, just not right now.  I wear my promise ring on my left ring finger like an engagement ring and I'm very happy with it.  I think you would be too.  Sit tight dear, you'll get married one day.

It will work as long as you trust each other and you are committed.  I am in the same situation.
