Should You Try to Hurry Love?(survey on setting wedding deadlines)(Brief Article)
In our goal-obsessed society, some believe you can schedule meeting your soul mate.
* In the recently published book The Marriage Plan, author Aggie Jordan, Ph.D., proposes 13 steps to tying the knot within a year. The controversial tactics include setting a wedding date, telling beaus about your desire to get hitched, and abstaining from sex until he supplies a ring. While knowing what you want is smart, this no-holds-barred approach may be going overboard. We asked Cosmo readers whether pushing a guy to take the plunge is advisable or insane.
YES: commitment can be coaxed

"The first step to getting what you want is knowing what it is you're after. We respect women in the workplace who are aggressive. While love is different from business, it takes the same courage and clear sense of self to be successful. Planning for marriage is just a way of acknowledging that you know what you want from life."
