How long did you wait ?

As for me, my fiance was still courting me when he told me he wanted to marry me. At that time I thought that he was just joking or telling that so I could be his girl. But true to what he said he proposed for marriage a year after we got together. Now we are planning for our up coming wedding next year. We only known each other for two years and one month. We've been together for and year and a half so I guess I didn't wait that long. And I am 100 percent sure of my decision because I love this guy so much and he loves me much more than I could imagine.

I think what really important is you stand firm on your decision. Marriage should be a lifteime commitment. You must take into consideration that you will grow old with this person and that can you imagine yourself being with someone you know will grow white hair and will wrinkle eventually? You must also accept not only the person's good side but also the bad side. GoodLuck. May you find the answer to your questions at the time you badly need it.

I married my husband after less than 2 years of going steady. At least we were already of age and had work, so we started off with not much money because we did not really save much. Looking back, I can say that I made the right decision for us. Our children now are both grown ups and we're already stable financially. Could not ask for more.

I'm gonna get married on November ...5 years together ,. but at the same time I was 3 years in another country.. so it depends ... every relationship it's different.. just you know ...you feel it that's it's the right time... it's like giving birth.. a new life is coming for you.. I suggest you to enjoy you engagement.. do the things that you won't do when you are married.. going out with other couples.. have a picnic with him.. subscribe to an art class together or something...do those things.. that are for that time.. better things will come when you will get married.. just enjoy the time for everything don't rush.. and when you feel like you had so many things shared together your heart will know..

I'm getting married in a month, which will be a year and a half after my fiance and I started dating. Though, in our case, we had been best friends for years before that and we'd at least known each other since Kindergarten, so we had a long history before we even started dating. The time it takes depends on the couple, though. My grandparents date for about 5 years before they got engaged and got married and they have been (somewhat) happily married for 55 years and they still love each other very much. However, I've also known people that got married a year after they started dating, or even less than that, and they've also led very long and happy relationships, so it really does depend on the couple. There is no definite textbook time period to wait before getting married.
