how do you know when to get married?

Question

how do you know when it is time. how long should you date some one before you ask her to marry you

Answer 1

when she has your balls in a jar.

Answer 2

However long it takes for the both of you to truly know each other well and you are truly in love. Not in lust but in love. Some people weight a couple mths some years it all depends on the people involved. I think its better to be w/ them for a while before making that big life changing decision my husband and I dated 9 mths when he proposed to me and then we married almost a year after that.

Answer 4

My hubby and I got married 13 weeks from the first day we met. When it's right, it's right. no questions, doubts, or fears. It wasn't even an option, we knew we were meant for each other, there wasn't even a proposal... it was just a mutual feeling from day one. The big wedding, gifts, whatever didn't even matter, we just wanted to be husband and wife. And so we are!!! :)


My mother always told me that I'd be ready when the person was not someone who you think you can live with, but someone who you know you can't live without.

Answer 5

**When a person is ready to make a life committment and share themselves (The Real You) then marriage should at the very least be considered and discussed!** Time (hours) on the planet really is not a factor, considering the person whom you are tying the knot with is honest, trustworthy and intertwined in your thoughts,passions and heart.
Days,mornings, nights and evenings are not a factor in considering a life partner....Follow your heart but don't follow it blindly!!! Research, and keep your eyes open for red flags and those questions unmarried couples sweep under the rugg... Talk, talk, talk - before VOWS are taken before God and the universe.....Good luck and many blessings.

Answer 6

You will just know...my fiance and i had been out on 2 dates when i knew i loved him and wanted to be with him for the rest of my life, and he loved me then too, but we did not tell each other for like a month...we looked at rings after dating 3 months, he bought it at 5 months, and proposed at 6 months, and we are getting married in june, which we will have been together for 16 months. but it all depends, you will just know!

Answer 7

I would think at least a year, but I agree with the above post that says if you're asking then it's not the time.

Answer 8

It depends on how well you know her... and how mature you both are. if you love each other i beleive that you should get married... as long as you both are willing to be active and involved in sticking with it. you can always drop some hints to her and see what she thinks.... Good Luck

Answer 9

i was with my boy friend over 1 year before we got married. i know he was the one because he was my best friend we shared everything togother. he knows the good and bad about me he loved me enough to marry me.

Answer 11
