If you have to ask when it's too early, then maybe you're not ready. Good luck!

That is very early. Some people think that they know everything about the person they are dating, but it is just not enough time. If you are a bit older like 25, I would guess it is ok, but I wouldn't take the risk of marrying someone and after a year you are already divorced. Mainly if you have kids or just a baby, it would be hard on your kids once they start growing up. It is very hard growing up without one parent's support. It's also hard on the parent that is taking care of the child. I would say that if you are young like 18-20 or 22 then wait for a couple more months. Get to know their family background. Every detail because when you are married, you don't want to think that you married the wrong person and that your life maybe destroyed forever because the person you marry has to be your life partner. So make decide very carefully! I hope you make the right choice! Good Luck!

Wait at least 1 1/2 years. The first year of a relationship is always the best. Everything is new and romantic. After the first year is when you will discover someones true feelings.
Besides whats the hurry. If you plan on being with this person for the rest of your life why does it matter if you are married or not.
I also want to mention the age factor. People change a lot from their early 20's to their late 20's. They do a lot soul searcing and can change dramatically during this time. Depending on your age you may want to take all this into consideration as well.

Too early is before the honeymoon stage ends.
When you're still in the honeymoon stage, the blinders are on. You think he's the best, the most impressive, etc. You don't see his flaws as much as you do when you learn that you don't HAVE to love him but you chosen to love him.
The honeymoon period usually lasts around 2 years.
Six months is far too early to be getting engaged. It's not just about love--it's about maturity in a relationship. If you aren't even ready to support a dating relationship, what makes either one of you believe that you can support a marriage?
Those who marry after just a few weeks/months tend to be more in love with the concept of marriage instead of marriage itself.
My friend was engaged after 2 weeks of dating. Two years later they've divorced.

It's funny because I was just searching for this same question earlier myself. Love has no limits--and that includes time limits. If your heart and his heart are on the same beat and you both know that this is something YOU want to do, I say go for it. Don't let other people try to talk you out of it. Do what your heart says. As long as you realize that love is more than a feeling or emotion, it's also a way of living. If you both can financially support one another and the way you choose to live and you have an everlasting love for one another, then go ahead and get married. Just be happy in whatever you both decide to do--whether that's getting married now, or waiting a bit. Good luck with it all!

Some people can get married early, like 18 or 19, and make it work. I think you're better off waiting until you're 25 or so, or at least until you've finished college, got a job, and lived on your own for a year or more. The reason is that you will grow up and mature during that time. You've learned to budget, to pay all of your own bills, to deal with problems yourself, and to live with yourself. In other words, you've turned into an adult.

My bf and I have been dating about 10 months now. I knew within the first few weeks that I wanted to marry him. We have openly talked about it. And I think we are so perfect for each other and he agrees. I am just waiting for a ring. We have been talking about marriage since about the 6 month mark.
I don't think you can put a time on things like this. My bf was with his ex for 6 years and he never wanted to marry her. I was with my ex for 3 years and I didn't feel this way about him.
You never really know, but I think you will know when it's right.

I've heard of some getting married after the 1st date. Just depends on you and your other.... you've went 6 months why not give it another 6 months to see if you still like this other person...?

There is no hard and fast rule to that question. I have know people who have known eachother for years and got married and divorced quickly. I also have known couples who knew each other for only a short time and are still happily married. Do you have to get married now? If you have concerns why not wait until you are sure?

that is a hard call. i know people who met and three days they got married and 17 yrs later they are still together. i know others who lived together and/or dated for years and married only to get a divorce a year later. it depends on the couple. but atleast know some very important things.. about this person. personally, i would hate to get married and find out that person never wanted kids and i did. i believe in GOD and he didnt. i wanted to never leave my town and he wanted to move immediately. that he expected me not to work.. and i am just dying to try out my degree. i am not interested in a person that does drugs or is an alcoholic. i dont want some guy wearing ,my clothes. i dont want someone that thinks i am working and he can stay home. so it is important that you have an idea... of each others intentions..likes,.. dislikes.. goals... beliefs .. sexual turn ons.. etc etc

Never, never attempt to marry or even become engaged before 8AM. A 6:00AM wedding is out of the question- nobody is thinking clearly enough at that hour. An 'I do' muttered that early in the day is hardly a binding, or lifelong committment. It is more likely a cry for coffee.
Remember: Never marry before 8AM- even if you aren't planning to stay married long.
