I agree with the premise that if we have to force something, it's probably not right. But I disagree that it's only the girls who do the pressuring. I have a daughter who was recently married. During the past few years several of the young men she dated applied serious pressure for her to decide to marry them. One in particular, when she told him she didn't know yet, told her he wanted to know how long she thought he'd have to wait before she would know. This was on their second week of dating. They broke up on that date. It goes both ways. We should all be patient enough to marry our best friend.
