By making the commitment to get married, we automatically
strengthen and support this recognition. By acting on this
feeling and becoming engaged, we make this delicate realiza-
tion becomes more solid, real, and grounded. It must be care-
fully nurtured and protected, like a little sprout shooting forth
in spring. With the appropriate care our love has a chance to
grow stronger.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PROPOSAL
Most men don’t realize how important the proposal is to a
woman. On Venus, second to a wedding ceremony, the pro-
posal is the most cherished memory of a lifetime. Some men
rebel against this idea because they don’t realize how important
it really is. Besides being one of the most important gifts a man
can ever give, a proposal paves the way for a great marriage.
On Venus, second to a wedding ceremony,
the proposal is the most cherished memory
of a lifetime.At difficult times in the future, it will be so helpful for the
couple to look back to that very special moment and remember
how they felt when their hearts were innocent, without any
baggage, and they sincerely pledged their love to each other.
It is a wonderful gift for a man to create a memorable occa-
sion. It will happen only once, so it’s a good idea to put some
extra thought into it. For the rest of her life, a woman will tell
the story of how her partner proposed. A man should privately
ask his married friends for some good ideas.
