Okay Marriage is a very important decision. According to the catholic church it is a Sacrament. It should only be done one time. Putting that aside look at the divorce rate the children of divorce the boken families and the pain involved.
People marry fast. People do this for many reasons. They want a big party. They are religious and want to have sex without sin. They want to start having children.
It seems that it takes a long time to really know someone. I have had a boyfriend now ex. I had dated him for 2 years and not known who he really was. We spendt tons of time together. I thought I wanted to marry him and now I know that would have been a very bad decison. Some people would have been married after a year which does not seem as fast as some. Sometimes this works and sometimes marriages are full of abuse and compromise. Horrible compromise. There do seem to be people who have good loving families as well.
What is a reasonable time to wait?

Marriage is a serious thing it is a sacrament, a legal contract and full of feelings. That is without involving children in the mix.

I spoke with a priest about this issue and he said that patience is an important part of christian marriage.
I want to say I am not advocating someone staying and accepting any kind of abuse and that all people can make mistakes it is nothing to be ashamed of. It just happens. How can this be prevented in modern day given the problems.

You can't take a figure or make a statement on this their is so many factors of marriage.... Some ppl go into it knowing it's a huge mistake but r too scared to run from the alter and shame the family etc.... You cannot judge what you have not lived.
