Always a Bridesmaid… Never a Bride By: Amy Vedder  |
| |
 We’ve all heard the old saying, but for some women, the old saying hits a little too close to home. Yes there are a lot of us who really want to get married yet never seem to be the one in the white dress walking down the aisle.
The first thing that needs to be said is that there is nothing wrong with wanting to get married and to have a family. Although the media is constantly trying to convince women that it’s best to remain single and to focus on a career, I’m here to say that wanting to get married is a natural and perfectly acceptable life goal for women.
There is no single reason why a woman never gets married, and is likely a combination of a lot of factors. If you always seem to be the bridesmaid and never the bride, consider the following, and see if you find a little of yourself in here:
What’s your marriage outlook?
• Just because your parents got divorced, that doesn’t mean your marriage will end in divorce.
• Just because your heart has been broken in the past, that doesn’t mean it will happen again.
• Just because your friends complain constantly about their husbands that doesn’t mean that you’ll marry a jerk who will become the root cause of all your pain and misery.
What signals are you sending?
• Men aren’t as brain dead as women like to think. They actually pick up on a lot of the subtle signals women send out. When you are desperate for a man, you send out that signal and men pick up on it. A good man will want a woman who exhibits independence while also expressing her desire to share her life. So don’t act desperate, that the ultimate jerk attractor.
• Perhaps you have been a professional success. That can scare off a lot of good men who will worry that you just won’t be interested in them because they haven’t reached the same level of success. Make sure you’re not acting in a way that might scare off a good man.
The most important thing to remember: don’t be ashamed of your desire to get married and have a family. Perhaps the biggest secret is there are a lot of men out there who also want to get married and have a family. So don’t hide your marriage ambition. Any man that will get scared off by that isn’t the man for you anyway. So stand tall, hold your head high, and march forward knowing that you’re soon to find the one for you.
