    13 Honest Marriage Proposals

    "Will you marry me" is getting old

    When it comes to the big moment, most people go with "Will you marry me?" But why be predictable when there are unique and memorable alternatives? Consider one of these when you pop the question:

    1. "Let's live together until one of us is dead."

    2. "This relationship is going well. Let's get the government involved."

    3. "Want to come over, and then kinda just stay forever?"

    4. "Dating has been great, but we should make it so if one of us ever wants to stop, we'll both need lawyers."

    5. "I don't know any other way to address my fear of loneliness."

    6. "Want to slowly grow to resent each other over time?"

    7. "It would make me the happiest man on Earth if you mistook temporary infatuation for lifelong commitment."

    8. "There are tax incentives to filing jointly."

    9. "My parents have been pestering me to do this."

    10. "How would you like to gradually lose touch with all our friends?"

    11. "I get tired of my phone's wallpaper after two days, but I assume I won't get tired of you for some reason."

    12. "I'm latching on to this opportunity because you're the only one who's tolerated me this long."

    13. Will you be the primary reason I'll need therapy in a few years?"

    Good luck!
