I don't think that there is a real good answer from some one else, I have known couples to marry after knowing each other but just a few days, and their marriages have lasted he test of time, and I have known some that were together for many years an got married and divorced shortly after they took their vows. ONLY YOU CAN ANSWER FOR YOU. I asked my wife to marry me after 5 weeks of going with her we are working toward our 42 anniversary

I'm with "freedom".
and what has time before marriage got to do with it.
Being Married is different, it may only be a bit of paper but living together is not a good preparation for marriage. Marriage is a whole new ball game.
What is needed in marriage more than time together before marriage, is commitment after marriage. That is what is lacking in time together. No matter what anyone says living together is not the same as being married.

I dated my husband for 2 months then we got married. We have now been married for almost 6 years and have 2 adorable kids. When you get engagded...if you ever have any doubt don't get married. Its that simple. If you are not sure how things are going to work out and you worry a lot about your future Mrs. then don't do it. I never had any doubt and we are happily married and have NEVER had a fight before. We argue sometimes but never once have we fought

Before you're married, there's never enough time...and afterwards, there's too much! I'd have to say when you think you know the woman backwards and forwards, add a year. If you still feel like being a damned fool, then go for it.

My last relationship lasted 14 years. We never married, lived together, and had 2 children.

You should spend about a year getting to know one another well.
I'm not saying that you couldn't accomplish this is less time, but what's important is discussing your most important issues; sex, politics, religion, career, etc.
A period of dating should be fun and satisfying, of course, but if at some point you decide that you may want to spend the rest of your life with someone, then its time to get serious and get to know each other more fully.

It is very difficult to know any person in specific period of time. The more time you spend together, the better you know each other.
It also depends on the kind of a time you spend together, good or bad. I mean in bad times u can know somebody in better way.
So my answer would be as long as possible.

I love the advice someone said....you should experience all 4 seasons with someone before you marry them or move in with them. So a year.

The length of time spent together for me doesn't matter. I think what's important is that each partner should know that they really are ready to become one and be together all the time.

long enough to break up and make up properly. if a couple can continue the relationship after some hardship that they worked through together....it should give them an idea if they can make it through marriage and life together. peace
