"Unless a man is prepared to ask a……" — Elisabeth Elliot

"Unless a man is prepared to ask a woman to be his wife, what right has he to claim her exclusive attention?

If, when the time has come for a commitment, he is not man enough to ask her to marry him, she should give him no reason to presume that she belongs to him."

— Elisabeth Elliot
