I've been friends with my boyfriend for a long time before we started dating. We've been together for a year now and plan on getting married after college.
Just because you've known them before you started dating doesn't mean it's permission to get married sooner. Being friends with someone is totally different than actually being IN A RELATIONSHIP with that person. You didn't do the same things you did together as a couple when you were friends did you? I didn't think so.
Don't find excuses to rush into something like marriage...

Well that depends on you two. If you guys are sure you two are meant to be together for the rest of your lives then get married,and if you guys still want time to get to know each other more,then don't get married so quickly even if you know each other for a long time,because you have to take your whole entire life to learn more things about each other.

Marriage is often a gamble. If you feel its time and you're ready. Go for it. Everyone that gets married feels deep down in there gut its going to work out but as we all know. Thats not always the case. In life what else can we do but hope for the best? Good Luck.

The point of being together for a long time before marrying is to get to know them well, before you commit your life to them. If you have had a friendship for a long time, then you have most of that covered. If you feel you know the person well enough, then sure.

How close of friends were you? The longer you know someone and the better you know them the better. Also pre-marital counseling is a must. They will ask the two of you tons of things you never would have discussed that are very important to consider before tying the knot.

Where is it written that people in love who are mature and know they want to spend their lives together have to wait "x" number of months once engaged? The fact that you were friends first shows the relationship is based on the right things. Blessings on you both!

Yes, but get to know him as a lover., how does he treat his women. because being together and being friends r two totally different things.
