How much time before getting married?

I think every relationship is different and unique. I think only the two people involved know when its right. Sometimes that's days, sometimes months, sometimes years and sometimes never. Some people feel that if you are living together you are testing the water and may or may not like it, but you still have options. Some think that if you are even considering living together you should go all the way and get married. I say whatever you and your mate decide will work for the two of you. Don't be influenced by what family and friends say as you two are the one's that will have to live with the decision.

I have answered this question before but I really must say that I may have answered it wrongly. My fiance and I were engaged to be married only 3 months after our meeting, that was our first mutual engagement, he proposed to me properly in January. We live together, and in fact I have lived with him since about the 2nd week of our meeting, officially however I have only been living here since November. My fiance and I are very happy with one another. I believe that it does not matter of how long the engagement is, or when the engagement took place in correspondence with the beginning of the relationship, I do believe that it depends on the two individual's love, and their love for one another. Arranged marriages worked, so why couldn't a non arranged but hurried one not?

Congratulations, I'm glad to hear that things are going well! I read in Cosmo last month (I know, I know) that the average length of time a guy waits before proposing is 3 years and 6 months. I suppose that's assuming that the guy proposes! I wonder what the average time is for girls? Probably longer, since they've waited long enough for the boyfriend to do it! lol. Anyhow to answer your question, it really depends on the relationships. My parents were high school sweethearts and they were together 7 years before getting married. And next month they will have been married for 28 years. But there are lots of people who have dated for a short time and are in successful marriages as well. I wish you luck :)

Hi Scarrlet Congratualtions on your pending marriage. I think it really depends on how strongly you feel for someone. Sometimes people feel so strongly for each other that they can't bare to be apart and marry quickly. If you have found your soul mate I don't think time is an issue, you will marry when the time is right.

the only important is the love that you guys have one to another,
