APRNEWS - There are a few common reasons why men get cold feet before proposals. Once you figure out the reasons you’ll have a better handle on how to move forward.

Here are the five most common proposal holdups I see in my private practice and how to tackle each one:

APRNEWS - Q: Hi, I have been married for the eight years and we have two children. We got married against everyone’s wishes and until date; we are still in love. Having said this, our relationship went through a rough patch for some time because my wife could not accommodate my parents and nobody in our family supported us.

APRNEWS - I met my husband in school, we were so glued to each other that we saw each other vitually everyday, though we never had sexual intercourse, after much frustration and accusation of him not wanting me.

After four years or so, he got sick and in the midst of it, he thought it was time to get married.
