why do folks step down relationships instead of boldly considering  wife they easily consider the girl friend?

If youre asking why so many men seem to be afraid of marriage? I think it's because in this day and age, we are all brought up to believe that we should get perfection, and that we shouldn't settle for just anybody and should wait and wait until the absolute perfect person comes along, so we end reasonable relatioships and re-start new ones again and again, continually searching for the right person.

For the most part, women who are not looking to marry are the ones who have been there and done that. If you're willing to carry the extra baggage that goes with that...more power to ya!

My personal opinion is that if 2 people live together they are more willing to work at staying together knowing that they can just walk out of the relationship. You try harder to get the other person because you love them and are willing to sacrifice your all to stay together. When you get married that piece of paper is like a prison cell. You begin to think you own the other person and more likely than not you start telling the other person what to do. This then starts tearing the relationship apart. Some people think once the ring is on the finger you can tell them what to do and when to do it. It doesn't work.

Well, being a young woman waiting on the husband that God has for me, I can see precisely what you are saying. I am a confident young lady and yes I have had the upper hand with most of the men that I have dated. But I do not believe that it is because I am pushy. I believe that men have lost their rightful place in the household, men need to grow some backbone and stop letting women run all over them. I am not saying that a man should be violent to hold his place. He shold be firm yet gentle. Women also need to stop jumping into marriages that God didn't have favor over so then they would not have to show thier witts so much because the man that God has for them will respect them for what God has made them to be (by then, they woman will have already found herself). I am tired of my female friends who always have the same man problem when they need to find God and find who he made them to be. No man wants an annoying woman andthat is stated in the Bible because Solomen said it is is better to live on the corner of a rooftop than in a house with a quarrelsome wife.

Because they don't want to be the 'bad guy' and do the breaking up. They are cowards who would rather the girl did the dirty work for them. \n\nActually plenty of women do this too.\n\nWould people please just be honest with one another about your feelings!

Some women desire men that aren't available to them for whatever reason.  It's silly actually, but there are many women and men that use the practice of only dating married people.

I think the main reason that people can't or don't commit to relationships is immaturity and selfishness.  They often want to keep playing the field or go out and play the field.  There is also the fear of being hurt and the fear of what a commitment to a lifelong relationship entails.  I think another problem is their not knowing what they want or what is best for both of them.  I had one friend who dated a girl for about 8 years until he felt that God wanted him to marry the girl.  That girl was frustrated beyond belief.  She had 4 other roommates in the house, including my future wife, and all of them met and married guys after the two of them had started dating.  It really is a tough thing to do since the onus seems to be placed upon the male to ask the lady if she wants to marry them.  Heck, it is hard enough asking a woman to dance with the fear of rejection!!! ;)

There are a lot of ways to look at this issue. From my perspective, I see it as an advantage. You automatically weed out the superficial losers that just want something from you. There may be fewer guys that are willing to commit to a relationship with someone who is impaired in any way, but they are more likely to be quality men. It's not a whole lot different than a woman with children if you think about it. It's not you who really has the problem, it's those who are afraid to commit or to leave their personal comfort zone to experience something new and different that have the problem.

because women like them better than someone who treats them decent. i guess they see it as weakness. i cant make myself be abusive so i dont get the girl. dont bother sticking up for her either, they somehow get offended by that.

It seems to happen more and more. Women are lacking self respect and any type of morals. I agree with you, and I would never venture onto another womans territory. Why would you even want a man that you know is cheating? I think these women actually think that they are better than the woman he is in the relationship with and think they are taking him away. Which we all know, seldom happens. Welcome to the 20th century, where morals and respect no longer exist. Sad.

like men, women have egos too. they wanna feel like they have the power and charm to change people. when they try to change their partners, they're just testing to see at which level their charms are at. it's stupid, i know. but some women feels good about themselves in this way. Welcome to Women's World.

This is a common fault with males and females,why they do it is because they are interested in your life,or they are too possesive for you.\nA lack of trust is the begiining of any arguement,and asking where/what/who,can be taken the wrong way,when it was just an innocent question.

Old fashioned values are great and I would love to see them continue on.  But, there is such a fine line anymore.  Some women seem to want to get away from those values some and take charge more.  I think that is great too.  I think it all boils down to getting to go out with the person that you like.

Maybe it's because girls like that find really caring guys and take advantage of them, or treat them like they're not worth anything, so then those guys clam up and are afraid to trust anyone anymore, then the rest of us really caring girls, if we want any companionship at all, are forced to associate ourselves with those "jerks."\nIt's a vicious cycle.

Women are drawn to married men , the joke of it is they are drawn to them because they see them as a man who is stable and can make a commitment because he is married. They hope to get him for themselves, yet how committed is he if he is cheating, and if he does end up with the other woman , how long before he is cheating on them.
