How To Date To Get Married, If That’s Something You’re Into
Do you want to get married? Would you be comfortable saying that out loud, to another human, in real life? To answer that question, Bustle commissioned a survey with OnePoll in which we asked 1,005 women aged 25-39 a series of questions about marriage. Two findings stood out:
77% agreed that “I would like to be married or in a civil partnership” and 68% agreed that “I prefer not to say out loud how keen I am to get married.” We don’t believe in staying quiet about the things that you want, so if you want to get married, this guide is for you. It’s structured in three parts: getting a date, working out if you should commit, and securing commitment in return. Read More
