[analise]

I'm not overly thrilled about the marriage either (though a lot of my beef stems with the way it happened and my characterization-grump is more about Angela than Brennan).

But I do think that there are things Booth has changed/given up in order to be with Brennan too. Sure, she's become more free with her emotions and yes, she wanted to have a marriage/"real" wedding because Booth wanted it...

...but he's also been shown to be a pretty devout Catholic. And despite that, he still lived with/had a baby with Bones without being married. He was willing to wait (and not pressure her) for Bones to be ready to ask for marriage. Heck, it turned out he was willing to marry her wherever the hell she wanted, even if it wasn't in a church with a priest.

Okay....that's all that's coming up off the top of my head. I just don't know that I think the change is overly one-sided.

Except Booth had sex with every woman we saw him with on the show. And he already had a kid. So he clearly didn't consider those parts of Catholicism part of his personal faith.

I guess you are sort of right. He has changed somewhat. But the show has still gone out of its way to portray his perspective as the right one. He's proven right time and time again. And Brennan has changed a lot more, and her perspective is more often portrayed as the wrong one.

I thought his son he had when he was married? (I don't know, they like never show him anymore, it's easy to forget he HAS a son and Christine wasn't his first kid.)

I get you on that second part though. That is definitely a theme.

No. He and Parker's mother never married. He proposed after Parker was born, but she turned him down.

[analise]

Ahah, then I retract most of my comment up there. :)

He may not have pressured her, but he had make pretty clear before that things not going his way was a deal breaker for him.
If Bones hadn't changed, sooner or later he would be "rightful angry" about her not wanting to marry.

Or maybe not, because everyone's characterization doesn't seem to matter anymore and who care about coherence in that? But still, he never reacts well when he isn't in the right and just because he was patient with Bones doesn't change that.

[analise]

That's a good point, I hadn't really considered it like that.
