My husband and I were only dating for 10 months before we got together. Which some would say it was to soon. I was with my last boyfriend for 7 years and not once did I ever even consider marring him. When I met my husband, I just felt right with it. What do you think, when is it to soon to get married?

no fixed period. you just said, was with ex for 7 years and separated. but this only 10 months and you made your choice. to me it's karma. when he is yours, no matter where he goes, no matter how far he is, he will be yours.

I do believe it doesn't depends on how long, it must depend on how deeply you love each other. If you both feel that you are borned to be together,if you belibeve that he is your Mr right, just marry him, to be his wife ,to be his children's mother. No matter how long you have dated, whatever people say. The point is you love each other and want to live together. To do want you think is right and stick to it.

I'm not married - but I can say that if ever the time will come that I want to have a husband on my own, I want to get to know the person who I'm with first, most especially where and how he was brought up, who his friends are, what he usually do everyday, and what his dreams are. I want us to talk about what we expect from each other... If I can get all my questions answered - and of course, I'm really deeply in love - I'd marry the guy. I think the marriage will go well if your parents and friends are supportive and optimistic about it. I consider my aunt's situation: She married her husband when she was seventeen. People say she made a horrible mistake because it was too soon. But her family and her husband's family were really supportive. They continued to support her school even though she had her first child when she was eighteen. Then after she graduated, she became a doctor. Her husband became manager in this particular company. Both were successful and became rich! They're so lucky to have family who are supportive of their marriage. Well, now they have three kids. I'm so happy for them. So just try to be more optimistic, don't listen to those who are making you feel discouraged about your marriage. Good luck and God bless!

Hello TripleS519, I married quite late. I had a boyfriend for 10 years and we wanted to end up our relationship with marriage but we broke up days before both our parents decided to meet and discuss about the matter. I knew my husband, my then boyfriend for just over a year but we decided that we are destined to be for one another. I think he is my Mr. Right that I have been waiting for so long. I am happy now. Personally, I don't think age does matter but when you are ready to go through it and you know what are you going to go through in a marriage life...it is more than enough to make your decision.

I agree with you there is no fixed period.We just used to say that few month is too soon to get married, but hwen you will it, it is probably right.Like you said you could be with someone for years and never would feel like getting married.

i dated my husband a month before we got married. i don't think there is ever a too soon. if you love one another, then the sooner the better.
