That varies with each couple....people are diffrent and relationships are diffrent....if you love eachother and are commited who cares how long you are together....my grandparents dated 3 mths before they were married and they are married over 50yrs...if it feels right go for it!

Well a year sounds pretty soon- but who are we to judge you. You are the one in the relationship. I have learned that no one can tell you what to do/ how to feel- because they are not YOU.My view on it as as follows: You should take the time to get to know someone . You learn something new about someone everyday. It takes a while to get to know someone. My opinon is that you start to see someones true colors in about 6 months. Others may disagree, and they have reason to. Some husbands kill their wives - married to for 20 years or more- not saying this is you but just an example. If you are in love- thats great. Love is a beautiful thing.. but you will know when you are ready. I do not know how old you are.. but if you are young.. you have so much time to think about this clearly. You can WAIT a couple of years.. maybe 2, or 3 and just see how things turn out. There is no rush. If you are in love.. it will be worth the wait!

Its a desire and hope. Ive had a girlfriend for three years. The marriage and children and house thing popped up after like 9months. You should be more worried when the ring is on the finger bc you dont know each other all that well yet. Just let the fantasies play its part and enjoy and dream.

every relationship is different. only you and your boyfriend can know if you are possibly ready for marriage.
My advice:
1. Remember, you can't change anybody or their behavior to suit you. They have to be willing to do it for themselves and they have to be the one to change it.
2. If someone hits or cheats on you once, they will do it again.
3. Pick your battles, don't sweat the small stuff.
4. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
5. Share responsibility within the relationship
6. Save. Save. Save There are many rainy days and crisis out there. Most people are only 1 paycheck away from disaster.
want advice outside of yourselves, go for a pre-marriage counseling at a church. most of them won't just focus on faith-based issues, but will also get down to everyday issues in a marriage.

About 3 to 5 years. Just to be safe.

I think that's normal. I think it needs to be at least a year before you seriously consider marriage.

Yes is normal but before you step into marriage ask yourself if you are ready for this and if he is ready too. And if you see you are totally ready for this go for it before any other person take your chance okay.

Depends on how old you are, do both have jobs, can you afford it now. Lots of things to consider, don't rush into it! Believe me when I say things change when you get married, and not all for the good!

it's quite normal... but you should take your time and not cave in... get married when you are.
