6 Reasons You're Still A Girlfriend And Not A Wife!
#1
There is a time for dating and a time where you feel like you're ready for the next step. You want a husband, a man who will father and help raise children, who is a faithful life partner that will share their life with you. This may be an old-fashioned concept, but is also an actual truth. It's part of growing up a majority of women still want a husband and family. Unfortunately with every generation, it can become a major area of frustration for women.

1.The number one reason you're his girlfriend and not his wife is most likely due to your choice of men.
If you don't do your homework and understand yourself, your parents, and past relationships, you won't make wise choices instead you'll keep making the wrong choices again and again.
2.Your relationship with your dad
Girls who grow up without engaged dads have a tougher time making a wise choice when dating. Dads' relationship with their daughters teaches many things, but one of the most important is they model characteristics good men have. Even if dad is lacking in those, his relationship with his daughter affords her insight and understanding of men. If daughter and dad have a close relationship, it leads to stronger confidence and self-esteem developing.
3. lust or love?
If your relationship is built upon sex instead of an emotional connection, it's more likely you'll remain girlfriend status. One of the reasons online dating actually works is due to the long emails and getting to know each other well prior to intimacy. If you think the guy is someone you really like, take your time with sex,do it when you really want to.

4. Being a wife before being one.
You move in with them in hopes it will turn into something more. Living with someone may be cheaper, but it's not the best situation. Women are wired to be heart creatures and although work is important, women thrive on emotional connection. Women who live with their partner prior to marriage are creating a living-together scenario that they believe will lead to marriage. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Keep your own place. It's the best money you'll ever spend.
5. Forgetting your own self
When you make your life about someone else and no longer invest in your own interests or priorities, you're setting yourself up to be taken advantage of. People born into homes with poor boundaries never have structure, personal space, or respect for one another. Clingers or needy women tire their partner. Keep your own goals, interests and dreams intact. Don't change your life to accommodate theirs, and encourage them with your upbeat behavior to aspire to yours.
6. Being a liar!
Passive women are sexy to insecure men. Women tell me frequently they are passive, quiet or dishonest because they don't want to upset their boyfriend. What? Lying to your partner is not okay, and if you feel the need to lie, you're not in a positive relationship. Advocate and stand up for yourself and your needs. Strong, smart women do not intimidate men who are secure in themselves.
