Are there any successful stories from people who rush into marriage and are still happily married?

Question

I've heard of couples getting engaged/married within months of meeting each other...what's your story?

Answer 1

My parents got married 5 months after meeting when they were both 19. And here they are, 30 years later and still act like teens with crushes

Answer 2

Well i met my husband three years ago and we have been together ever since. We dated for ten months and then got engaged. We were engaged for 14 months and we just celebrated our one year anniversary as a married couple. I must admit that it is very hard the first year. No matter how long you are with someone before getting married you still will not know their little mannerisms they have when they are at home alone. It takes time to adjust. I don't think there is a set number of months or years that anyone should be together before getting married. It's different strokes for different folks. Good luck!

Answer 3

My husband and I got engaged about 3 months after we started dating and got married a month after that in Vegas. In our case, it worked out OK. There are a few things that I wish I had known prior to being married, but dating longer does not guarantee that I would have known those things anyway. I absolutely love being married and I love him more than anything in this world. As long as two people are committed to the relationship, it doesn't matter how long they date, it will work out, as long as they remain committed. Look around, couples get divorced who got married within hours of meeting each other and others get divorced after dating and living together for a number of years. Good luck.!

Answer 4

Myself and my mother both married men that we had known for a short time and neither of them are worth bragging about. She divorced my father not long after they were married (about 2 years). I on the other hand have been married to my husband for almost 5 years and I am hoping that for my 5 year anniversary I will have my divorce papers signed and framed. I wont say this happens with all couples in this prediciment but I would say it is best to take things slow when talking about marriage and only do it if you REALLY love the person you are marrying.

Answer 5

married within 5 months of meeting. been married for almost 6 years and have a 4 year old.

Answer 6

I dated my husband for a just one year, got engaged, got married one month later, but I was just 19 at the time. Everyone asked if I was pregnant (rude) but we were just ready and we knew. We're going on 3 years now, (no babies), and our marriage is happy and healthy. People have come up to me and said they were skeptical when we first got married because we were so young and it was so soon, but now they see us and think we made the right decision... Don't let other people decide for you though, they're often wrong.

Answer 7

I met my husband on line on a Thursday, Face to face on a Friday and let him meet my kids on Sunday. We all hit it off so well and him and I fell in love so quick that we all moved in together 2 months later and him and I married 3 months after that.. we now have a 2 year old son together and have been married 4 years this year.

Answer 8

We met and were engaged within three months. Now it is 7 years later and we are still married. It can work but there are LOTS of arguments along the way if you rush in.

Answer 9

Hey my husband and i were engaged within 3 days of dating, we didnt know eachother previously, and were married 2 months later. Marrying him was the best desicion i have ever made i love him with all my heart and we are so perfect together its scary. Length of time is not whats important its the amount of compatibility that counts and the amount of love you share.

Answer 10

Well I was working for the first time in my life at a coffee shop called Rituals and one of the girls who I worked with asked her cousin to stop by and we met. I thought that he was so handsome and all I wanted to do was go out with him. He gave me his number and after a few weeks forgetting about the whole insident I was asked by his cousin if I had called and I remembered on that I thought that it was a sign and called. After going out for a while we recognized in a short of eight months that we were made for each other and we got engaged after five moths we got married in the winter. We love each other dearly and its been 3yrs of marriage for us. Don't put a time limit on love if you think that he is the one then go for it. Don't be afraid. Just ask yourself these simple questions, do I love him? Does he love me? Am I happy to see him every day nad is he happy to see me daily? If all your answers are yes to all of the above then I guess you atre about to get married. One small word of advice be aware that its not lust and ensure its love.
