I don't think so. I have been married for 4 1/2 years, and just keep getting happier. I knew my husband for 4 days when he proposed. 2 months after meeting we were married. We now have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, a 3 month old son, a house, 4 cars (two are mine that he bought, two are his) and a lot of fun. bad things do come our way, but we stick together and battle the problems together. We are there for each other and know each other better than anybody else on this earth. If you feel it's enough time, then trust your instinct. Meditate on it, too.

I don't believe there is a set time you need to know one another before you get engaged or get married. I think what is more important and you want to be concentrating on is knowing things about each other, accepting one another and having fun together! Do you have similiar morals, beliefs and values? Do you make each other laugh? Those kind of things are more important than how long have I known him/her? In my first marriage, I was that high school sweetheart, knew one another for over 4 years, went to marriage classes to get married in his church and we were the ones asked to even be hosting for other couples after we got married..............I thought I knew everything about him and it was going to be forever, until 13 months married, he said he didn't love me anymore. I think it was more like, "I found somebody else..." but the point is, I knew him a long time and it didn't work. Then, 7 months later, I met my husband, and we knew from our very first date, that we were going to be married and here we are, through the up's and down's, the windy road, the journey, 21 years later!!!! AMEN!

If you can read the following books as a couple AND share comments then you might be.
Smart Love By Dr. Phil
The 5 Love Languages, By Chapman
AND His Needs, Her Needs, By Willard harley jr.
Best bet is to each read the same books and take notes and complete the questionairs. then compare notes. if one person is not interested in doing this before marriage then I would question their ability to ( Compramise ) during the marriage.
Length of time has no bearing on marriage.
God Bless in what ever you do.

That all depends on how well you know the person... Usually it is long enough but some times it is not.... Ask yourself how well you know the person and if you are ready to commit to this person in marriage until death do you part. There is your answer! You also need to go to pre marriage counseling as well.

Depends. Know each other how? How much time have you spent together in that year? Do you REALLY know the other person, or just kinda like what you see when you are together?

Everyone has different feelings for each other. It could be love at first sight. Follow your heart.
