In the modern world, besides instincts, we are also driven by feelings. Love, affection, friendship. By making a marriage proposal, men thus confirm their feelings. And for women, this gesture symbolizes a serious attitude and devotion. After all, if a person says that he is ready to connect his life only with you, it is of great importance. Although there will be opponents of such promises who believe only in love, tested for years without any weddings and vows before the altar. Then why do couples decide to get married, even if they are no longer young, do not plan to have children or do not need financial support from a partner? The answer is one: to be absolutely happy. Let's not forget about the power of stereotypes that have been settling in people's minds for centuries and passed down from generation to generation: a marriage means that a couple has a strong relationship. And no matter how many strong and independent personalities say that a wedding is not the main thing, this thought still motivates couples to apply to the registry office.
