Gender & Dating Relationships

I think that this article states valid points about the expectations of proposals and marriages. Women typically expect men to propose because that is a very commonly used tradition. If it were the other way around, the couple's relatives and friends might question the normalcy of their relationship. However, I think that this expectation is not solely the woman's fault, because men expect it to be that way too. The love story I wrote about is similar to this because like most couples, my dad proposed to my mom. In my opinion, it doesn't really matter which person in a relationship proposes, as long as they agree that it is what they want and truly love each other.
