It just depends on the people. I would have married my husband the day we met. Otheres need time to get to know each other. You will know when the time is right.

depends. I have seen people that only knew eachother 4 a month and get married and r married 50 yrs latter. but that was along time ago. now days I would say maybe a year. people out there r freaky and change on you in a snap. Get to know the person for real takes more then a few months. My hubby and I waited 5 yrs. That tere I think is too long. at the most two years.

I don't think that time is the issue. How well do you know that person? How comfortable are you with each other? How well do you communicate? do you have secrets? These are all more important that duration.
I think that deep down we know if and when we are ready. Some people get married way too fast and you can tell. Others you just know that they will make it. I have been with my boyfriend a little over 2 years and I knew at 1 month that he was the one for me. I am just waiting for the big question.

I would recommend giving it a year to get married after engagement. The time is going to go by either way, and you may change your mind. There is no reason to rush into something so important as marriage, since marriage is permanent. One should never go into a marriage with the notion that they can get a divorce if things don't work out.
Personally I wouldn't want the government involved in my personal relationships. It seems to destroy everything it touches. Getting married for religious reasons is a different story. God will help your marriage stay together.

I think a marriage can occur from as early as 8 months. If you spend enough time with this person, know their friends and family, you have had ups and downs and were able to handle them fairly well without any physical and emotional damage and TRULY have no kind of little thoughts in the back of your mind but you deny it, MOST OF ALL truly love them, then you can get married. MY suggestion is to also have marriage counseling first.

Well, when your really in love with somebody you don't care if its three weeks after you met but you should always take it for two years or three because the more you spend as boyfriend and girlfriend you learn more about each other and can fix it before you get into a serious relationship and maybe you can learn that the person you love might be a little aggressive or that he or she doesn't like your family and might keep you away from family and friends. I hope your relationship goes well!!!!!

Actually I can't answer this question for you, because you are the only one on knowing the answer. Dating is the time where you are going to know if that person think, believe, fight, love and have the same dreams in life than you. If you think that person is going to improve you and you are going to improve him and you are willing to change, cry, laugh and no meter what, no matter how many times your loves one is going to hurt your feelings you know you always are going to love that person. You are ready! And remember people change all the time trough experience. God bless you!

Become their best friend. This person is one who you are choosing to partner with FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. Ensure that you can coincide and that you are both working towards the same goals. Talk about kids and careers and ethics and etc. Really bond and become best friends with this person. You are putting all of your financial and emotional trust in them. Be sure you are making a positive investment.

Hi. It's know how long you should know a person it's how many things in common do you have with this person you have fun, enjoy being with him/her, you know do you really like this person in order to take other step like marriage and yes its a big step and commitment. I think you never really know a person other than yourself. I've dated my husband for 11 months and now we've been together for 8 yrs.

I think at least 4-6 months to a year because you really need to know everything about them and know if you really love them.
