What do you think is the proper time to get married?

You need to be absolutely sure it's what you really want, and it helps, but it's not a requirement, to be pretty financially stable so you can prevent a lot of fights about money after you get married. You should be well grounded too, know what you want, and be pretty certain about where you're going to live, and how you're going to get that perfect place, etc.

I think marriage is a big step in life if not biggestr. One should only marry when he/she is mentally, financially ready for it. Don't get married for the sake of getting married. So there is no proper time that i guess in terms of age. But when one is prepared for it.

Well, my husband and I got married very quickly. We met in September of '06 and got married in June of '07. There was an instant connection and you will know when the time is right to get married. It helped a lot that we lived with each other before getting married so we knew how we both were prior to deciding whether or not to get married. There really is no set time to get married, though. You'll feel it in your gut.

In my personal experience, one needs to know that your love is going to be as good when the times are bad, because this is what breaks a lot of couples up!

In the last 30 years people don't take marriage very seriously. They don't take it as a commitment. I have some girlfriends that have been married several times. One of them was on her sixth marriage, and she was only 40 years old. I now have not seen her for the last ten years so I don't know if she is still with her husband or if she has moved on and married someone else. Or someones else. Who knows in the last ten years she may have gone through even more husbands. I have been married for the second time, ten years ago and I am still with my hubby. My first marriage didn't work out because I don't think my husband was really ready for a life long relationship. He screwed around on me several times and I finally gave up on him. My husband now, was married twice before me. One lasted less than a year and one lasted 16 years, and now me for the last 10 years.

Me and my fiance had been together 3 and a half years and lived together for 2 of those when he proposed and we are getting married in 2010, so we will have been together a fair while when we get married, we are young though so that is a good thing it means that you are stable and aware of each others annoying habits having lived together before marrying, but it depends on the relationship, a family member of mine got engaged after 3 months and married 2 years later and the marriage only lasted 1 and a half years, but my aunty was married within 6 months and 30 years later is still married. It completely depends on the situation and how you feel as a couple.
