How many days, months,and/ or years does it take for someone to realize that they want to spend the rest of their life with their significant other? How can you tell? Would you ask that person to marry you?

that's a tricky question, and the answer will not be easy but i think when that moment come you will know, when you cant sleep at night at all and all what you think about is that other person, when hours are moments and years are days. and once you feel lonely and cold since the moment you leave him/her. when it is pure Love, not sex love not money love, ... pure love. and that when you love someone more than your self and when even love it self don't describe your feelings. love gives you wings.

I've been with my sweetie for almost 7 years. We arn't married. We intend to be together the rest of our lives. However, we inteneded to be together the rest of our lives proably at the three year mark. I really don't suggest getting married right away. Once its done and over with, you have nothing to look forward to. Not only that but there are so many people who get married and spend all that money on top of college bills, and then when they finally get out into the world they are just swamped with debt and they can't afford anything nice. Its like hey welcome to life of financial hardship for the next 10 years. If they are the one then rushing out and getting married shouldn't be a big deal because you both know your intend to be with eachother the rest of your lives anyway. I think when somone IS the one, you both can talk comfortably about the both of you in a long term future setting. We talk about where we want our careers to go and how that will affect eachother down the road, we go to open houses together for a feel of what eachother would be interested in a house, we've already discussed if we want children or not, we talk about retirement and future savings. If your significant other is pushing for marriage, then I'd strongly suggest that you both sit down and talk about it. I always joke with people who get engaged after only a couple years of being together. I always say, "why does it only take 2 years to determine if you want to spend THE REST OF YOUR LIFE with one person?" If you really think about it, its kind of absurd that most people only spend a couple years dating before they decided to spend the next 60 years of their lives together.

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed.
It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance.
It's the one, who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dying, that never learns to live.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Mr. Chivalry says, "There is not timeframe in knowing when you feel that the person is the one. Your mind, body and spirit will tell you. If you do feel that the person is the one, then you make the decision whether or not you want to move it to the ultimate level. When I felt I was ready, I proposed."
Mr. Chivalry has spoken.

marriage is just a formality. the feelings you share and the way you act towards one another and the commitment you make to each other, those are the important things. too many people put too much emphasis on the marriage and the wedding and fail to realize the companionship and feeling toward each other is what is important.

If you have any doubts that they are the one, they most likley arent. If you dont know within the first couple of dates, its hopeless :)

There is no set time, when it happens, you just plain know.
