Propose to him.
And if he isn't too hot on the romance side of things, push the legal/financial side of marriage. There are certain things that can only be achieved by marriage - it is more than just a piece of paper.0 -

It means hope this helps.
You just need to sit down and explain over time you do want to marry him and you definitely want that to be part of your future.

Nah, this just isn't true. Jeez, if I suggested to my husband that I'd coerced him into marrying me, he'd snort with derision. He does have his own mind! He wanted to be married to me, plain and simple. We're not different species, us birds and fellas."Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell" - Edward Abbey.0 -
