Honey, I am going to tell you like it is... My husband and I knew each other for 4 months then we got married. When you know you just know. All these people have been together for all these years before getting married think that it makes a huge difference and it doesn't! My sister knew her husband when they were kids, grew up went through school together, they got married while they were in high school, were married for almost 30 years... and got a divorce, she told me that she looked on the news and they were talking about marriage and they said that statistics show that the majority of marriages last when the couple has only known each other for a short while before getting married and that the majority of divorces are with the couples who have known each other for a long time. She said she thinks it's like that because once youve know some one for so long you figure you know them, when you don't and when there is a change then something is wrong, not realizing that people may be a certain way for a long time and that's who they are, and then they change and the spouse doesn't seem to be able to adapt to that "change" people change all the time some times for the good, sometimes for the worse, the difference is, that when a married couple hasn't known their spouse for a long period of time, they tend to learn eachother while growing together and are use to the "change" and are able to adapt to it easier because that's how the marriage started out. (I'm not "downing" any one who knew their partners longer or anything like that) I'm just saying that don't let anyone down your marriage or make you feel bad about the "timing" because really your marriage just may out last theirs, and my husband and I are perfectly fine for the 4 wonderful years the Lord gave us together, my sister is now with some other guy and her X moved to California and married some other lady as soon as he left, come to find out he cheated on my sister while they were married and now he's married her, we both know that won't work out, so you did the right thing girl, good luck and God bless you and your marriage sweety

My hubby and I have known each other for 11 years. We did not start dating however until the 12 grade, which was 8 years ago. We only dated a year before we were married. He was going into the service and we didn't want to be without each other so what the heck...got married.
