When relationship reach 4 years and above, Do you think its time to settle down?

You don't have to settle down. You can live life the way you want. If you want to get married thats fine. There's really no measure standard, though I say longer is better that way you get to know your partner much more.

I don't think there's any such rule or common-doing when it comes to relationships. Each person and couple is different. I know for a fact that I do not wish to marry, no matter how long I have been or intend to be with my partner. Some wish to marry almost straight away, some later on and some never. It's a very personal decision, and a couple may already be living together and commited; 'settled down' without marriage.

This really depends on the individuals and whether or not marriage is important. My wife and I were together for 6 years before we got married. It was not an issue of settling down, and nothing changed between us when we got married. The only difference is that now she is covered under my retirement and all of the other benefits that marriage brings with it. I guess the decision is based on what you want to do.

Even if you do not reach 4 years if you are both ready to take responsibility, and you think that you are happy and contented with your relationship, then you could settle down. It is not on the years... its on your willingness and capabilities in building family. Because starting and keeping a good family requires that.

well my dear after marriage its important to plan fo a baby because human is not happy in any situation he demands change every time if a marriage couple has spend their life togather 3 or 4 year and havn't a baby i think they will think satle down than

I don't think ti is right to messure such a think with years.You have to feel when you want to settle down or not.You can be with person 10 years and just don't feel he is the right person for you, or be with somebody half year and know you want have a family with him/her and settle down. Sometimes we are just with somebody, because it is comfortable to us and we don't want to run from stereotyp, but it doesn't necesarily mean we want to settle down with the same person.

when two people are in a relationship they should be comfortable with each other and they should be able to dicusse thing and make decisions together..and if you'll are totally honest with each other then you'll willl know when the time is right..to take the strep to get married....you should not judge your relationship based on what otheres say or how they decide im sure you will make each other happy if you'll decide to get married when both of you'll are ready...:)

After 4 years I think you should at least be talking about it. Otherwise it can get very dragging being at the same level for so long. But you can congratulate yourself for at least being patient enough not to rush into marriage. A common mistake is rushing into marriage only to end up in divorce.

Well,I don't think having the relationship 4yrs it is important to marry.Well,if the relationship is too far then I think marriage is the good decision.

four years or five or six or three times of that, marrying shouldn't be based on years spend together. For me, the issue about when to get married isn't measured in years, it is indeed measured on the readiness of two person to get IN in a lifetime commitment called MARRIAGE.

i personally dont think there is any time in a relationship kind of thing,,i mean the settlin thimng and all,,if u r in love if u r in a relation,,i guess be it 4 yr be it 10 yr or be it even 1 yr,,u can always settle down,,,4 yrs is a long time by this time u know everything about ur partner,,so i guess if the love bet two is true enough then 4 yrs are more than enough to settle down thnx and tc keep postin/ratin

Measuring is just giving another burden to the person and the relationship. Settling down is relative, not ensure that the longer the relation, the better the result. I had heard a relation going for 9 years of engagement, just need a better man stepped inside, and all the past love memory of 9 years is useless, the girl is another wife now.

I and my boyfriend also have known for more than four years,and we are planing to get married next year. best wishes to you.

I think it nassary ,because if two people stay too long time will have no fresh feeling ,and In China they also said 7 years is dangoures year to Marriage,because Love will disapper by the times goes by ,and some other life problem will arouse,and I think that rule also same to couple fall in love

Years or month doesn't count for settlement or to get married. As long as you are ready for it then go! go! go!. :)

I think you can't determine if you ready to settle down just by means f time you've been together. You can settle down if you really love each other. Willing to grow old with each other. SPiritually, financially, emotionally ready and if you think you are really ready then go for it. Best wishes!

I don't think it's a matter of how long you've been together. It's whether or not both of you are ready. Some people are ready after a short time together, others are happy to cruise along for years. Only the 2 of you know how you feel about each other and how you feel within yourselves. Don't settle down because you are pressured by others. When others ask you when you are getting married, tell them when you are ready, not when they think you are ready.
