Has anyone ever gotten married after knowing someone for a short period of time and had a successful marriage? Does anyone know anyone or other stories? Do you think it's possible to just "know" it's the right move even if you've only known the person for a short period of time?

There is only one way to find out and that's to do it! My friend Heidi met her husband and they were engaged after a few months and married shortly after. They have a very successful marriage (almost 7 years) and one beautiful baby boy. It CAN happen, you just need to really make sure you know the person. Heidi and her husband put it all out in the open, no secrets, complete honesty. That way there were no surprises or disappointments down the road. If it feels right, it might be. Trust your instincts.

My parents are great examples. They were both still caught up on other people at the time of their meeting yet knew they could be good for each other. They were engaged 3 weeks later and married a year and a half later. It has now been 23 years and they help with couples therapy at their church. My mother was in love with another man at first still but eventually that subsided when her and my father got things figured out and went through some therapy themselves. They beat all kinds of odds from one having a drug addiction and the other being a strong christian and now. Not to brag. They have made a perfect example of a good marriage. And yes you can 'just know'.

My husband and I knew each other for nine months before we were married. Tomorrow we will be married for 14 years. You have some bumpy times, but it is worth every minute of it. You will never know, unless you take the chance. Short courtships can turn out wonderful. Word of advice. I have known a lot of couples to spend a ridiculous amount of money on their wedding, and start out in debt. Not the way to go. If you have it, sweet. My hubby and I went downtown at lunch break, got married, and back to work the same day. Only cost me $142.00. We bought a house with the wedding money, vacationed later. Now we have it all. It can work. Be happy for you, not for everyone else.

success story. I met my husband when i was 19he was 23. i woke a complete stranger up one night (my now husband) we talked i went to bed he went to work. I did not return to my apartment. on the third day he asked me to marry him I said yes later. At this time my parents were on holidays, if it were not for that we probably would of got married just went and did it. My mom and dad got home about 3 weekks later and when i seen them i said hi i want you to meet someone and by the way we are getting married. well since my mom and dad paid for the wedding and arrranged things i had to wait big family thing 100 people me bieng the youngest and first to marry also so the family thing. personally i would of rather just gone and got married. any way we married 1 year later. we are still married not saying we havent had our ups and downs (your have to work at it at times to keep it going) but we are now 40 and 44 never had kids. And we still live under the same roof and sleep in the same bed.
i believe you will know in a very short time wether you would marry some one. when it is right it is right you dont question it what is there to question. if your questioning then ide say it is not right.

We all have a pre-programmed definition of success. We have needs, wishes, wants and cravings for the results we desire. Success is when one masters all of their talents given to them by the God. Also, to use these special talents to help and support those in need. You have reached success when you create a life where there is actually a meaning to living and worry is not necessary at any time. Success is something that you are constantly striving for, and when you reach it, you instantly create a new set of goals that will define your next level of success. Success is a momentary result of ambition.

I met my hubby in Oct 97 we got married June of 98. Here we are three kids and almost 9 years later better than ever :) I think its possible. I know of others who have know eachother and dated for years before getting married and it was over in less than a year. I also know of others who jumped into marriage and was also divorced in less than a year. I guess its just a chance that you take :)

I recommend dating for at least a year before getting engaged. That way, you get to know the other person very well. Even if you think he's "the one," you may find things about him later on that you find completely intolerable.

Well, I do not know what your definition of success is. But my husband and I met at the beginning of December 1998 we were living together by the end of January we got married at the end of August 1999 and are still (happily) married.
