If I am going steady with someone, is it imperative that the relationship has to end with marriage only. Cannot it be a casual one with fun. Why is it that women always want it to end with marriage. Is it something to do with their sense of in-security.

Yes, a woman who is in a relationship and wants it to end in marriage is a woman who truly love her partner and is giving out all her best in it and wants to dedicate her life to the one she love otherwise if she doesnt love you that much i dont think she will put herself in a situation wherein she's stock to someone she doesnt truly love right? Most guys wants a casual relationship, there are also woman who wants this kind of relationship...i just think that there are more women out there who take relationships seriously and since they are serious about it they want it to go somewhere. A man who loves her partner and doesnt want to commit because i think guys are sometimes afraid to commit maybe because they are still hoping that they will find someone better than their partner. If your partner wants your relationship to end somewhere, u should be happy, this means that she is already contented of you and she is willing to spend her life with you.

It does not always have to end in marriage.People can stay with for someone for as long as they want.If you are in a relationship and you feel you are being pressured for marriage and you are not ready then you need to tell that person how you feel and if they feel that the relationship should end then it was not meant to be.But if they agree and are willing to stay friends then it may possibly blossom later on.

Anyone that wants to get married is because they want to build a life with the person they love. It's not just something you have to do because you're in a relationship. It doesn't guarantee security. You can't end a relationship with marriage, that is when it is just getting started. The whole journey takes a new path. I would never recommend getting married unless it was something you wanted to do. Otherwise you aren't being fair to yourself or the person that you are marrying. You should only get married if you find someone that you know you could go through living hell with if it happened and still want to be with that person. If you can't imagine yourself being with that person on the worst of days, then don't get married, because the bad days come and go without your control.
