Give it another year and a half.

Well, the right time to get married is different for everyone. If you both agree that it is what you want and that you are ready -- then that's the first step. You will need to have discussed all of the important issues in life... you both want the same things in life, you both want or don't want kids, you are compatible on matters of faith, lifestyle, morals, values, careers, finances, sex. Do you have the support network - friends and family - needed to survive the first few years of marriage and / or children. These are all things we tend to put off talking about when we feel "in love," yet they are the issues that make or break a marriage in the long run.
Really know that person before you even think about marriage. If you cover everything I mentioned and still want to commit to one another for life, go ahead and make the vows. But remember, marriage is hard work and it will not be nearly the same as it is now living together.

Absolutely NOT!!!
1. Marriages where couples live together have an ASTRONOMICALLY higher rate of divorce than relationships where the couple lives apart, as highlighted in this article:

2. It takes a good year and a half to really get to know someone, to see how they handle the good and the bad, what they are like with their families.
Obviously a ton of people are going to jump in here and say I'm wrong. But the divorce rate has climbed to 50% since couples started living together first... I would say that experiment was an utter failure.
This is the rest of your life you are talking about, take the time, do it right.

I would say wait at least another 6 months or so and then marry if you still feel the same way and are marrying for all of the right reasons and if you are ready for a life time commitment with this person. Good luck to the both of you. Follow your heart and do what is right in your heart to do. When you are ready for marriage you will both know it.

Well getting married is a very step of life. You are choosing a life partner. First get on to your job and make it very dominating so that at least you will have enough money. Then after 2-3 months you can go for marriage. But first don't let your job get perturbed by the marriage.

The time to think about marriage is when you both are ready. Being ready together is the most wonderful thing. You are already doing all the hard parts so why not just jump into the lake of marriage its not going to change anything visibly its just going to bless your relationship go get it.

When you love someone and you KNOW you cant live a day knowing that they arent yours to love and hold...it makes you really appreciate them soo much more so ask yourself...

the right time to get married is when u feal that u are ready to spend an entire life with someone because makeing a commitment for life is a very hard thing to understand but if u are ready for one person for the rest of ur life then just do it

You shouldn't live together before you get married. I lived with my ex wife and it didn't work out. Everybody I know that lived together first didn't make it. I would say get married soon.

I would recommend at least 1 1/2 together followed by a year of being engaged. Should take a trip somewhere also.
