The assumption that I'd have said 'yes' was pretty nauseating, anyway!
His current plan (he is at the moment 'called to be single', which in this case does actually mean 'can't find a girlfriend') is that he'll meet a woman (he says 'girl', which tells you a lot) at church, God will tell him she's the right one (hopefully communicating this to her, as well, I presume) and then he'll invite her out for coffee and propose. The engagement period is when they get to know each other a bit (but NO KISSING! because that could lead to lust) and then they live in wedded bliss with him as head of the household until death does them part.
So overall, I'm not so sad I'm missing out on that.
The advantage of having Christian friends who run the spectrum between crazy fundamentalists and high-camp church Anglicans, taking in folk-mass-and-guitars Roman Catholics is that at least I can invite them all round at once and then watch the fireworks.
