Why we like a decent proposal
Article Abstract:
Most women still like to receive a traditional proposal of marriage, despite the rise of feminism and the fact that divorce is becoming increasingly common. Attitudes towards marriage have changed greatly over recent decades, but this has not been the case with views on how marriage should actually be proposed. In certain cases, it is now the woman who makes the proposal, but this is still quite rare.
