Waiting for "Will You Marry Me?"
After a year or so of dating one person exclusively, many women start to wonder if their partner will pop the question and ask, "Will You Marry Me?" Others, mere months out of a long term relationship, are shocked by the news that their former love is getting married to someone else.
Unfortunately I've been in a similar position myself, and have wondered on several occasion why men marry some women and not others. So when I found the book Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others by John T. Molloy, I was instantly intrigued. Would this book really answer the questions I had in some definitive way?
A couple of hours later and several pots of tea, I can honestly say Molloy's book is a must-read for every woman wondering what she can do to increase her chances of getting married. Full of practical and insightful information, Why Men Marry is based on scientific evidence culled from several thousand about to be married couples, and why the men decided they had to marry this specific person instead of another they'd dated previously.

This is a good book. I wouldn’t call interviewing couples ’scientific evidence’ but it does have a good collection of views on dating psychology. To supplement this, read some more books on this particular topic. This one book will not be enough.

Yes, I do agree it’s not an end-all book - there are many that cover similar or the same topic.
As for scientific evidence - in the social sciences research is undertaken by questioning and reviewing past histories of large numbers of people in the subset they are trying to review. Perhaps scientific, to you, means something else, but the author’s methods were well documented from that standpoint. In fact, he even went further than most studies (as he describes in the book); when information gathering proved to be nefarious or without clear outcomes, he and his researchers changed their methods by changing the people they were interviewing (i.e. asking men alone instead of with their fiancees), the people who were interviewing the candidates or the actual questions themselves.
My question is why would any male or female that doesn’t have deceptive intent whose brains aren’t brainwashed by society want to get the government, legal system, religious group or anyone else involved in a relationship of truth, trust and intimacy that is supposedly between only one female and one male
