How far into the relationship should you get married?

You will never be ready, why marry when you can have it with no real commitment, Think about it, you two can walk away today and there was only time lost, nothing more. Yes, your saving on divorce papers, lawyers, but if there is real love, then marriage will hold you two together, So, what is keeping you from marriage? is what you are needing to ask yourself. I am told, a person should be together for about 2 years. after that, if you cannot get committed, you may not, ok give it another year, but, after that. Go looking, for he wants his cake and eat it too, or visa versa, No real commitment, Go seek marriage counsellings, talk it out, and then, figure where you are at with your relationship. A person who does not want to commit, makes me think, of fear, non committable, uses, knowing, that the person they are with is not the right one, but, hey, we are together, why change it. It is comfortable. I would think about what you are looking for, and if the man your with is what you really want, and if so, then after this long, you should work out the final stages. But, I have also heard, after living with a person, some marriages do not work, why, for the person change. Maybe, its to much, maybe it is hidden secret, not sure, There is the two I know. Good luck in your situation and your decision. have a blessed day :D

Honey...You will know when the time is right, just listen to your heart. I married when I was 24 and it only lasted six months. I got divorced at 25. I promised myself to never date again. I ate those words. Earlier this year, I met my boyfriend Dave. I knew right from the moment he was my soulmate. We've been together for four wonderful months. Granted, we are living together and every day is a blessing. We keep following our hearts. Every moment we are together, we live like it will be our last. He surprised me big about a month ago, when he asked me to be his wife. We decided to have a long engagement though. I've noticed when people rush into a marriage, it usually don't last. Biggest thing is, like I said, if you listen to your heart, you will know when its time to tie the knot. I wish you and your boyfriend the best of luck.

Don't care what people says. Just do what makes you feel happy and confortable. Don't make your life dizzy. Getting married is a big thing and cost your money and personal life. You have a very great relationship with your boyfriend for 8 years which is very long. If you think it is time to get married, then discuss it with your boyfriend... Sharing our life with our loves one is a very beautiful moment where money can't buy it. Good luck with your life...

i think, you are the only one who can decide if you want to get married. it is up to you on how you can handle relationship, when i was younger i am attractive too, but when i met my husband, i stop entertaining other, i stick to him and after almost four years we get married. and we are happy.

I suppose that depends on the people in the relationship. I don't think I could have lasted 8 years without getting married. I met my husband-to-be 3 years before I began dating him. We dated for 15 mos and married. We've been married for 44 years. I don't think you can say there is an exact time that you should get married, just the time that is right for you both.

i think people in a relationship should get married when they feel deeply in love for one anther and when they think they are ready to commit for the years to come wow yall have been together for a really long time now so if you are ready and hes ready then yall should get married but it realy up to yall.
