You wait until you are sure he is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. My wife and I both knew within hours of meeting that it was meant to be. We were married 5 months after we met. We have been happily married for 11 years. My ex wife and I dated for almost 5 years and then our marriage lasted less than a year. You cant put a time limit on it, when you know you know, with my first wife I was not 100% sure and look what happened.

It depends on the person. You could marry a person after 3 years or more of dating and yet you have no idea who this person is. I say trust your instinct! Get to know the real him before it's to late. My Grandmother married this man after a long courtship and he ended up as an alcoholic. I hope you make a wise choice.

When you both are ready for it. Don't pressure yourself to get married for the sake of marriage. Do it because you both are committed to one another and are in love. Just be aware that the #1 thing couple fight the most about is money. So hopefully you two are financially stable and have a place to live in before getting married.

It has been 6.5 years for me. We have several friends get married and divorced in that time (one twice!). We aren't waiting because we think we will break up, but because we want to do the wedding right, when we are able to maximize the party!
A wedding really shouldn't change that much in your life except you have a ring on your finger now. If you are using it as a reason to change your life, something is wrong.

Until you're at least 25.
Really, it depends more on how much time you spend with them during your relationship.
My test would be to go camping together for a week, just the two of you, supplies and a tent. If you can pull that off without a fight you're doing pretty well. Think of all the stuff he does thats a little annoying and imagine putting up with it for the rest. of. your. life.
Because he won't change.

That's a purely subjective question.....I married my first husband 3 years after we started dating (he passed away). I married my second husband 4 months after we started dating. It varies so much! I was in my 20's the first time, and late 30's the second. That age difference changes things a lot.

There is no formal time frame, but you should make sure you are ready to be with this person forever. I have never been married, but that is because I just knew in my heart that it wouldn't work. I have been told that you should know without a doubt that you are making the right decision. If you have any doubts, then it probably isnt the right time yet.

I think it all depends. But for "example-sake", my husband and I were married 10 months after we began dating. We knew each other for about 2 years before we stared dating.
We have still been happily married for 3 years!
Hope this answers part of your question.

wow you went from A to Z and skipped the rest. You need to cool your jets and let the relationship form and a foundation of love, trust and mutual respect be solid. If that is there and you two are still in love and ready to take the leap into marriage, then talk about it and go from there. There is no "set" time frame for this to happen.
