In DQ1, Lief falls in love with Jasmine but is too shy to tell her how he feels about her. By the end of DQ2, it seems that Lief has finally admitted his feelings to Jasmine, and that she reciprocates them. I think he was just too busy to propose to her before the end of DQ3, because he, Barda and co were always going on quests and having to run the kingdom and protect it from the Shadow Lord. Also, the author planned it that way.
