Mrs. Darling says: Actually, women and men have very similar dreams in white: According to a recent survey by the partner portal Elitepartner, two-thirds of us believe that we should live together for a few years before getting married. And as many as 40 percent think that having children is an important reason to get married. But when it comes to the crucial point, our ideas diverge surprisingly widely: While 71 percent of men would also leave the marriage proposal to their partner, 48 percent of women think that this is a man’s matter alone. And why not, dear women: we make careers, we turn on guys in the pub and unabashedly take them home if we like them. That’s why I think it’s even a sign of strength if we keep a little bit of romance together. And no one is stopping us from signalling to the boys beforehand what our answer is: Yes!
