Please, I don't want to bore anybody with this question for I ones posted it but got no satisfactory answers. Here, I repost it again to see if there is someone out there who can give me satisfactory answer. Why do men kneel when they want to propose to ladies? |

Well, its a really old act and the history is quite unclear...the obviously clear part is, it's a symbol of respect. Here's what i found... Respect. Honor. Surrender. Those are the reasons behind the bended knee in a marriage. As a sign of respect, the man lowers himself as an act of humility before the woman he desires to spend the rest of his life with. Furthermore, when he is on one knee, the man is faced to face with the woman’s womb, where life is created. He is honoring her body and honoring her as the Lord’s creation, which deserves to be revered. A man is surrendering himself and the rest of his life to her. He is surrendering bachelorhood for fatherhood in promising to raise children with her and remain faithful to her in all things... http://chastityproject.com/2014/07/men-propose-one-knee/ more on that link 1 Like 1 Share |

Trinxie: But after marriage, it looks like reverse is the case, by the way; do the women aware of all these? Or they just do it because everyone is doing? Notwithstanding, thank you for the exposition. |
