Eske ou vle marye avek mwen?

We wanted to give you a little more to work with, in case the relationship isn’t ready for that level. Listen to the Creole audio below and practice the phrases:

Si ou bezwen marye avek yon fanm ou renmen ou dwe janti
If you want to marry a woman you love, you must be kind

Fè li pase avan tout bagay
Make her more important than everything else

Pa bali twop manti
Don’t tell too many lies

Toujou la pou li
Always be there for her

Eske ou vle mennaj?
Do you want to be my girlfriend?

Eske ou vle madanm mwen?
Do you want to be my woman?

Eske ou vle vini fiyanse mwen?
Do you want to become my fiance?

Eske ou vle marye avek mwen?
Do you want to marry me?
