Im a Marine and just returned from over seas. I have known my girlfriend for 7 years. She lived in a differnet state than myself but we allways just talked. Before my last deployment I went up to see her and just feel in love with her. We talked as often as time permited when I was gone and she saved me from losing my mind once or twice. We have been dating now for amost 2 months but I count my 8 months in Iraq as almost time we were dating too. She didnt date or even kiss another guy while I was gone. Is it to early to ask her to marry me?

I know a Marine that married in less than six months of knowing his girl. They have been married for three years and have a wonderful family. The point I'm trying to make is it doesn't matter how long you've been together, but you need to know where she might stand on this issue. If you can answer these questions, you might want to ask her--Does she want kids? Where do you and her see the future of this relationship going? Is there a high divorce rate in either of your families? Does either family have a history of violence/ drugs/ disease? If so, what type?

Try before you buy! Marriage is a very serious commitment to someone else. Have you been living together? My general rule of thumb. See how things go for 18 months. I've been seeing someone for six months and he's already talking about marriage. I love him and I can't imagine being with anyone else. But we're both still young and I told him if he really meant it to ask me in 18 months. Now he's counting down the months. We've moved in together, I've met his family, he's met my family, now we're working on the families meeting. Marriage is very serious and not to be taken lightly. That and divorces are messy and expensive. If you can save yourself the headache do whatever you can to keep that from happening. Good luck and the most important thing is to listen to what your heart is telling you. If your head agrees, be worried. But really listen and remember. You are the most important person in your life. If you weren't there, then there wouldn't be one. Take care of you.

Well, It looks like u guys are commited to eachother very well! I would say go for it! But u should give her signs, like ask her what she would do if someone asked her to marry ( just drop the sentence in a casual conversation, and maybe leave the marry part out first ). That's what I would do! Good Luck!
And have a happy life with ur girl!

If she's effective in how the courting is going, then by utilizing all potential she could flow for it. particularly of having a hoop, how about a helpful engagement watch? It would not could be large extreme priced; per chance contained in the $100 variety. Heck, Queen Victoria proposed marriage to Prince Albert, yet that became because she became a queen and he became a prince so it became a standing element.

Yep! Too early.
I met a girl while was in the military too. Saw her on a very limited basis for about 9 months. Thought I was in love and married her. Worst mistake I could have made. Found out too late that we were not very compatible soon after moving in after the marriage.
Get to know her VERY WELL before proposing.

It's not too early if you want to guarantee her housing and support for the rest of your life. You better be SURE!

Get down on your knees and ask her, man. Yo, if you know you're in love, then marry her. Why do you need our permission? If she has waited for you that long, she's worth it, man. good luck, man.

love is never too early... if it feels right, then do it. however you dont want to scare her off. let her knw that you are thinking about first. try to understand how she feels about it without asking her. and if all feels right... like i said, it is never too early for love...

Not if you really love her and want to spend the rest of your life with her.
