How long would you date someone before you married them?

I personally think that people rush into marriages only to get divorced just as fast. There is times where it works but not to many times. I would personally wait at least a year or two before I married someone that I was dating. Just my opinion.

I have to say I totally agree with you. I think now days the word marriage is totally over used in the wrong places. I think too many people just like the fact of being married and then in turn end up in a divorce or worse. I myself dated my husband six years before we married. Now this Valentines day will be our third year of marriage and we fall in love more everyday.

Well I actually never really dated my husband.
We met on a chatroom and talked to each other for ages. We only met physically twice before I moved over 1000km to where he lived and then we shared a house for a year before we got married. However, we set the wedding date before I moved and because we had spent so much time talking to each other that we knew each other really well.
I think it's not the time spent but how well you know the other person that is important. My parents weren't very keen about people living together before marriage, but my younger sister had previously done the same thing and I actually think you get to know someone even better that way as often when you are dating they only show you their best side.
