Interesting question? I honestly think it depends on what the couple is like and how they both feel about marriage. I've known people who have known eachother as little as a few months and gotten married and people who have dated for many years and gotten married. I got married in May and we had been together 5 years. However if you feel as though you are ready for a commitment and your partner is trying to push off the topic I think you need to have a discussion about what you both want from the relationship. Waiting years and years for someone to marry you when it was never their intention is not fair to you.

Not given enough info to know. A lot of thought should go into this before getting married. How long have you known this person? Are you both financially stable and ready for the expenses? Are you both good at setting down and talking things through before doing something, especially when it comes to money or big changes in the home? Look deep before you leap.

I am a grandma and a very liberal one as I feel that in today's society I would live with the man for quite a few years before I would go
through the legal part. You only know a person well enough after you lived under one roof for some time and had the ups and the downs and not all stars shining in your eyes either.

I think every relationship is different. It depends on where you are in life, in highschool/college I dated someone for 4 years, but was too young to get married (i felt).
I think you need to be with someone at least a year or two, too many people get married too soon, and end up divorced. What is the rush, wouldn't they rather be patient and wait to know that it is right. But what is right for one may not be right for others.

Anytime you feel confident that the relationship is stable and that you are ready to make that committment. Better still if you *also* need the certificate of marriage to get a housing loan or something because that'd give you another reason to get married.

It all depends when the couple think it's time to get married. When they feel it's time and they actually know each other and feel like they will be in a good marriage.

I don't think there is or should be a time limit. Things are different nowdays as you know as far as marriage is concerned. I am a firm believer in a live in situation (trial run) for a year or so.

It all depends on the couple involved. There really isn't a fair time. When your ready you'll know.
