There is no right answer for this. You have to find answer for yourself.
It depends on few important things such as your willingness to get married and settle down, your fiance's ideas on this, yours and fiance's financial situation, family situations, etc.
The most important thing is to get to know each other well. Marriage is not only about being romantic and going on a date, going to a nice restaurant, buying nice and expensive gifts for each other. You have to know what's there in the heart of the person. Sometimes it may take you 2 months to know the person well, sometimes it may take you 2 years. It depends on the personality of the person. Some people are a tough nut to crack while some are easy-going.
If you find yourself very comfortable with that person and your other-half feels the same about you, then that's time to exchange vows. Sometimes you also have to rely on your intuition. Don't just look at people logically.

To really get to know another person, I would say 4 years. I have been with my bf for over 2 years and there is still alot I do not know. It also depends on the couple. Some are more ready and more mature than others, depending on their age and other circumstances, such as if you are in college and if you each hold a steady job or not. You may also want to find out if your partner is truly ready for such a big commitment if you are.

I'm not a christian, but it's a little bit late asking this question now, surely you should have considered this before you turned your relationship to what that involves sexual contact, I'm not judging you but it's not going to change what happened what we think. Only you can make the choice as to whether you would like to go further or not, or if you should regret what you've done. It's your life and you can't let other peoples beliefs control your own. Good luck.

my husband and I only knew each other for 4 months and then we got married. I am not saying this is for every couple and if we would have had more of a choice I think we would have waited but we are still happily married 3 years later! (he was about to be deployed)

Some experts say two people considering marriage should be engaged for one year.
I say it's up to the two of you! Are you ready to tie the knot?
Tie it tight, and stay married for a long time...if not forever!
Congratulations!

I will have been with my fiance for just over four years when we get married in 2008.
My parents and his parents (two separate sets of parents, of course!) were both together for about a year at the time they got married.
So, it varies.

for some people as long as forever but i think 2 years is a good time if you truly love them things will be together after two years then you know you really meant for each other..

I think it just depends on the couple, but according to my pastor you should be together for two years before taking the leap.
