marriage is a sentence....a LIFE SENTENCE....and engagement leads to that..lol.am just kidding of course.i think that if both the man and woman truly love each other, engagement is of the next step.couples are happy because they are moving forward towards the next stage of their relationship.i for one am not a big believer of marriage and engagements. for me, it is the expereince that you wish to share with your partner in life. everything else is man made -- not that it is a bad (engagement.it is actually kinda cute, just not my cup of tea =)

i agree to that.. tho i have to tell you that when he proposed i felt kinda rushed. i felt that the pressure is on and that i cannot back off if i did i might have ended up like making a fool out of myself by not being the respomsible wife i shud be.. it scared the hell out of me! thats for sure

I guess being engaged is one step closer to getting married, and with being engaged, there is there certainty that you are indeed getting married, unlike just being in a relationship, where you're not really sure whether you're going to stay together or not... Engagement is really not big here in the country, though it has gotten more and more known. I guess it really depends on the couple whether they will go through the engagement stage, or just straight to being married.

Being engaged is the step between courship and marriage. it is the promise that you want to wed one particular person. Being engaged tells you, the ome you love and the world that you want a future with your special someone. Engagement is the promise you will fulfill tomorrow.

You're asking why do girls feel excited when proposed? Well, this does not happen to girls alone. We boys feel the same. This happens because when somebody propose us we feel important. Everyone of us has hidden desire to be desired, to be important to someone, and to be cared and loved for. You can call it instinct, but it's pretty basic. Not only that, I consider these the strongest urges a human being can have. Now when a normal person, a person with all those desires, is proposed, it feels as if all those unfulfilled wishes are coming true all at once. This is really a very pleasant and exciting moment. Why most of us are scared? It's because it all seems too good to be true. We suddenly get a great pleasure. We see the possibility of having a great life with someone special and we don't want to loose it. We have inkling that this might be a dream and this may all go away once we wake up. We take time to believe that all this happiness is actually true and permanent.
