Most commonly when the couple meet for the first time in
case of arranged marriages (not sure if this applies to love marriages
as well), after the preliminary introductions between them once they are sent separately to talk, the first question
that either of them ask is 'What are your expectations (from me and from
the relationship)?'
This is a googly question cause the more you tell there is a
chance that the proposal may not materialize while the less you tell
may lead to conflicts later as time progresses if the relationship is
sealed.
As a matter of fact though the expectation from a
relationship is bare minimum in the initial days, as days go by the
basic expectations increase.
In each of the five meetings that I have had with guys, barring once I was shot the question first. It seemed to me as
though the answer had been memorized and the same answer replayed to
each of them. My expectation from the guy I would get married is that he has to take care of my parents as his own and in turn I would treat
his's as mine.
While this is the basic expectation there are a few other
things that I would like to list out. The guy I would want to marry must
be:
1. Honest
2. Trust worthy
3. Epitome of strength to me
4. Extrovert
5. Straight forward (at times he must know to sugar coat)
6. Respect me
7. Be broadminded (or much better open minded)
8. Non judgmental
9. Have his space and give me mine

10. Lastly accept you for what you are rather than wanting you to change.
