Relly there no right answer for one follow your heart. If you feel this is right than ask her dont listen to your parents her parents or friends or whatever do what you feel but dont get engaged tomorrow than married next week plan it out for maby like next summer that will give you about a yr and you would know. trust me i know this from experiance i was dating a guy 4 months thought i was totaly in love with him than he ask me to marrie him and the min that ring got on my fingure it all change and i did not feel the same so dont rush it just follow what your heart telling you to as long as you listen it wont stear you wrong.

In America, as far as I understand, just a few months is OK; In the UK, maybe a year, three years or more. Goodness, surely the most important thing is for you to feel that marriage is right for you and that you are ready, but be true to yourself. It is normal to feel nervous and questioning about such a commitment. It is great that you both feel so right with each other. Try to balance your own feelings about this with the experience that others would like to share with you.

I think it is way to soon. You should date for at least a year or two before tying the knot. Don't rush into marriage. Take the time to really get to know each other. Most marriages end in divorce because people didn't really know each other very well. Remember it's pretty easy to marry but, divorce is really really hard. Take this advice from someone who knows this lesson first hand.

I would suggest you don't just date but live together for a while and see how you get along on an everyday basis. I think the appropriate time is once both people involved know each other at their worse and are still able to love each other.
Good luck

If u both think you guys are ready then go a head. But u guys have to think about the other things too. Like are u guys finacicaly stable and do you guy have a job that would surport the family. Those things like that. But good luck! Wish u guys well. But if u guys are still very young i think u guys should wait.

Two years. That really is the length of time it takes to get to know someone you are going to spend the rest of your life with. Actually, that's the length of time it takes to get to know anyone properly, and that's on a day-to-day basis.
You can, in the meantime, live as though you are in fact moving towards that goal, but hold off. You will not live to regret it. (Unless there are religious reasons for marrying earlier)

I would say as long as all the parents involved like who each of you are choosing for a life partner/spouse/mate/living partner. As long as mom/dad/grandparents like who their son or daughter is with, then it's fine. No matter how religous or "perfect" either of your families are. You will have to keep your family and now have eachothers and that is a big part of it. You need everyone to be able to welcome the new family in. Don't really ask permission from the parents, just observe what they think of who you are dating, that goes for each of you. Also, do you like or can you stand your future in-laws?

Personally,I think you guys should date for a little over a year just to make sure it's time for commitment.After all,you guys may not feel this way in six more months.

Until your not worrying about what both your families have to say about it! If your worried that her's or your family will shun you both because you married so soon, then maybe you should wait a little longer!!!
