My boyfriend asked me to marry him on my birthday, but we've only been together 6 months. Is it too soon?

Yes. wait another 12 months before you decide to spend your life together-- divorce rate is 50% so don't rush into anything

It all depends on you. I have known people who have been together for two weeks before getting married and they had the best marriage. I have also known people who have been together for five years before getting married and their marriage ended in a divorce. If you have to ask if it is to soon, then it is to soon for you. If it is too soon for you just have a long engagement. There is not time limit on an engagements. You will know when you are ready.

Yes way to soon.Don't even consider it,now or in the near future.You don't know anything about him.And six months is not nearly enough time to know a person to get married to them.Marriage is suppose to be a life long commitment.It is not something you do just because someone asks you,or because you or they think that it is the best way to hold on to someone.It is not a game,it is a lot more complicated than Girlfriend,Boyfriend relationships.Besides,I'm fairly sure that you have other things that are more important than getting married.Not to say you won't get married one day,but now is not the time.

Sorry but it probably is too soon. While it could work out, marriage today is hard enough so why take any chances. Get to know him better, maybe move in together. Let the relationship grow. At the very least, plan a LONG engagement.

I think a woman knows if she will spend time long term with someone in the first 5 minutes.
You should know by 6 months if you have spent a considerable amount of time together. Dont be swept up completly. Sit down and have a talk- values, morals, how you would react in certain situations, how you would raise children, things couples dont usually face early on then fight over once they are married...

My husband proposed to me on my birthday. We had been dating for 4 months. Our marriage has not been perfect. But, I knew when I said I do that it was for life. Now my husband and I have been married for 2 1/2 years, and I can honestly say that I love him more now than the day I married him.

If you think there is a strong future say yes but just don't get married for a year or so. There is nothing wrong with a long engagement.

No not really. You can be engaged but wait at least another six months before marrying.

Sometimes those marriages last forever. Only you can really know for sure. Be sure you have the same interests or life will not be much fun when he goes off to do his own thing and you go your own way.

I think it's a little too soon, especially if YOU feel it is. It wouldn't hurt to decide on having a longer engagement; you don't have to rush.
