I've been with my boyfriend for 6 months and we are getting married in 3 more months. Does anyone else think it's too early to be getting married? I don't think so.

It's pretty tight. There are cases where people have know each other for over ten years and it didn't work out. Then there are cases where people have barely known each other for hours and it did. (my aunt and uncle were married within 24 hours of meeting each other-29 years later... still happily married) But odds wise, it's better have known each other for a while. Generally, it seems to be about years... If you can say you've been together for a year, people accept that you know each other enough to marry. Nine months isn't A LOT of time to get to know each other, especially since you are already making the commitment to marry at six months... But it's not TOO short of a time. You've both gotten to know the "real" person and you've both commited to the fact that you want to be together forever. It's not too short. A little fast, but for every relationship, it takes a different amount of time for both to realize that their other is the "one" Good luck.

LOL Absolutely NOT! My husband and I were only together exactly nine months until we got married. So I have been there! And five years later we are doing just fine :)
Just to let you know, we were officially engaged after only being together for three months. When you know it and feel that it is the right thing to do, why wait?? Especially when you can start your life together and start a family sooner. So I say as long as you are an adult, with a good head on your shoulders and some money, or the ability to make the money to put in the bank to help support yourself, then you should be just fine :)

I got married after 8 months and to be honest, whats it you moms friends business when you get married. if you feel the time is right go for it. ive known people who were married for like over 20 years and divorced because they said they just werent compatable. if you can be with someone for over 20 years before you realize it, then whats the difference if you marry after only 9 months? if things work out then they work out, if they dont then you wont be the first to divorce or the last. i do wish you all the best in the future though and a long and happy marriage.

Nope, my dad prosposed at 5 or 6 months to my mom and then they were married around the 9 or 10 months. Here they are 29 year later and have deal with health conditions like my father's stroke, but are still as happy as i've always seen them.

I think that's fine so long as you are taking the attitude that marriage is forever. Please don't take it lightly! Make sure you two are in agreement on the really important issues like kids (How many if any? How will you raise them? Does one parent work and the other stay home? Who does what?) , religion, ethics (discussing news events is a great way to discover a lot about each other), personal space, expectations for the marriage responsibilities (division of chores, contributions to the household funds, etc.), and the non-negotiables for you and him. Just remember that the saying "All you need is love" is not true. You also need a plan and you need to be in agreement on that plan. Best wishes!

My husband and I decided to get married the first month we were together. That was 19 years and two children ago. It's not too early.

first off its really not her place to say yes or no, but no i don't think 9 months is too early to get married to someone, my kids godfather was only with his wife for about 5 months when they got married and its been almost 4 years, hard but they work through every thing.

Of course not! You can fall in love just for a few days and get married in less than a month! Love has no boundaries, however, since marriage is a life-long contract of love and trust and togetherness...make a sensible decision b4 u're too late.

Its all up to you, I have been dating my boy for 5 years, and we are just getting marry. If you feel that you have known him enough to say "this is the men that has stand by my side through good and bad" "this is the men that know all my mods" "this is the men I can be open to or even when there is something on my mind, he know what it is" then go for it, and may you two be the most happiest couple ever.
