when is it too soon? is knowing him for 6mths long enough? i see him everyday, for 6-8hrs at a time, we havn't been apart since june18th, and we r never bored, we love spending time together. My family loves him, ditto for his. I love him, he loves me. He makes me happy, I do same for him. Is being together for few months long enough before gettin engaged? I know of couples who got married after weeks, they r still together. Is happiness good enough? Can love be enough? ...to keep a good relationship going?

Only you two can decide that. It sounds as if you two have the love to make it, for sure. I would sit down with him and ask him what he envisions for the future in your relationship. You might freak him out though, whether he's ready or not.
My best advice is to make sure you both want the same things in life, kids, careers, etc. and to be 100% sure you want to marry each other before you do.

try to remember other relationships that you may have had where you were so giddy and happy and "in love"....obviously you are not in those relationships anymore...how long until you didn't feel that way? I'm not saying that this time/guy isn't the "one", but since the "honeymoon" phase lasts around 6-9 months, I would advise dating a little longer, like around a year or year and a half before you get engaged. Good Luck....it's really not that long of a time to wait.

With only 6 months of dating, you don't really know the other person. True, some people get married in that amount of time and are fine, but that's few and far between. Why is there a rush to get married? If you're going to be together in a year, you will be together, so why rush into a lifelong commitment? The divorce rate is too high as it is.......

I honestly do not think that 6 months is long enough to know enough about a person that you want to be married to them . I have been with my fiance for 5 years and we a finally getting married and I still dont know everything about him I can tell you that the way our relationship was at six months is definitely not that way now. Over time people do change. Give yourselfs time and dont rush into something now that you will regret later.

Why don't you, and your other half sit down, and talk about all of this. Tell him how you are feeling. My husband, and I got married and we didn't even get to know each other very well. We're very happy with one another I think we got married last at least like 2 months but didn't know each other not even a wk. We both prayed to God about it. 6 months is a very long time, maybe you need to sit down, and have a talk to see where he is going with this.

What's the rush? In six months everything is wonderful, try at least a year and a half into a relationship in order to know if that is what you really want.
Good luck

answer to the age question is "No, yet interior reason"... enable's see if my own studies grants an answer: i exchange into 19 years previous when I met my 22 year previous female buddy -- after relationship for a year we moved in at the same time (our own place, an extremely much less high priced apartment), lived at the same time for 3 extra years in the previous getting married, and have been at the same time ever with the aid of fact (those days all started our thirtieth year). The accomplishements/sturdy interest question is an argument of the place your head(s) are at... lower back, from my own studies: when I met my lady i exchange right into a homeless college dropout and he or she exchange right into a pupil. with the aid of the time we moved in at the same time I had 3 area-time jobs. She have been given her degree and then I helped pay for her to bypass to graduate college. She then have been given a job in interior reach city and we had a six month long-distance relationship (nicely i think incredibly medium-distance -- a pair of three hour force) till we the two desperate we neglected one yet another too plenty and had to get married... i'm the guy who moved to be along with her. So lower back to the questions -- have been those accomplishments? sure, yet how plenty is sufficient? have been those sturdy jobs? lower back, sure, yet i exchange into purely a transport driving force (for the main area) whilst assisting placed her with the aid of college. We had our own place, despite if it exchange into very low lease housing (do no longer additionally be responsive to in case you will locate this form of element those days). We did no longer get our residing house till 7 years whilst we've been married and that i had long gone lower back to college to end my degee (now along with her help), have been given a job grant in yet another city, and we had gotten uninterested with appartment residing. O.ok., sufficient of my existence historic past. i'm hoping this helped.

Waiting through four seasons (one year) is the MINIMUM.
