Long Engagement, what do you think?

I don't think a long engagement makes much of a difference, but I do believe a couple should wait a few years before they get engaged. An engagement is not always done in every culture or situation some people skip that stage and go onto the marriage after dating for awhile.

I prefer long Engagement, and I think it is a good way to know each other very well. if we don't know each other very well and then we get married with the one we dating, it will happened lots of troubles in marrage life. maybe someones will end up their relationship due to long engagement,but I think it is also a good things for both of them. as if they found the difference after marriage, the problem is big and if the difference is big, they will have to divorce. do you think so ?

Well I personally don't like long engagements, but if people can't last through a long engagement, then what chance to they have at marriage?

for me, it doesnt matter how long you are engage to someone to determine the outcome of a marriage..although i can say that it helps a lot to know your partner more before you decide to get married..i even recommend living together first just to make sure that you are really compatible with each other..i know many people wont agree..it s just that, building a relationship without knowing a lot of things about your partner as simple as his or her everyday habits can sometimes cause havoc in a relationship..you would be surprised to a lot of reasons of broken marriages..but then if both of you want your relationship to work out, a lot of differences won't even be a big deal..it would just be up to you..

Hi there, I dont see the problem with long engagements the way i see it your getting to know more about the person your planning on marrying. Its better to be safe than sorry.

It doesnt matter whether you had the courtship period small or longer, it depends on the extent of your relationship dat decides whether your relationship will last or not. Though we have a few chances of the relation breaking up, but its better that the relation breaks before marriage rather than after the marriage.
