My husband and I knew each other 5 months before we got married - that was 12 years ago. He was 31 and I was 26 when we met, neither of us had been married before - we just knew!!
If you know, you know - but if you really know, why are you asking??

Unfortunately, you didn't state your ages, so my answer is based on the assumption that you are both at least in your mid-twenties. I'm happy you met the love of your life, and that you feel everything has fallen into place. Naturally, that will make you start thinking of marriage. But to make sure that this is really it, take your time, give it serious thought and prayer, spend time getting to know each other, go through some time together (at least a year), ask your families and friends for their thoughts and opinions. Alot of times, they may see something you don't see about the other person.
Naturally, in the end, it really is about what the two of you think and how you feel that matters.

I knew my (ex) husband for 9 months when we got married. We are in fact divorced now, however... we were very happy for many years - married 11 yrs. It came down to how we grew apart and had developed different values. But I love him still to this day even though I can no longer be his wife. My parents knew eachother for 3 months and got married and were married until the day my father died - 34 yrs. They did have a few months where they split up when I was 3 y/o but they got back together with more solidarity. Let me tell you this, the one thing my husband and I wished we had done more of was date. Oddly enough, we chose not to have sex before we were married - so that rushed the wedding - but we weren't virgins... long story... but, point is, we really cherished those times of dating. It is such a romantic and exciting time in the relationship. We would still have married but we both looked back and felt like it would have been even more fun to date even longer. We were thrilled to be married, don't get me wrong. But "dating" is never something you can truly recreate after you're married. So, don't rush it. Date her for a long time - enjoy this time and use it to build the important parts of your foundation. Sure, you can do it once you're married, but there's a uniqueness to doing it now. If she is really the ONE, then the more you date, the more great memories you'll have to look back on - and after a lifetime together those are the most precious things you can own.

You are rushing just a little too fast if you ask me. Please wait at least another 10 months or even more before taking the plunge and marrying. How well do you really know this woman? Have you even met her family yet? It is not too early to think of marriage BUT it is way too early to marry at this stage in the relationship..... Why rush anyways? Take your time enjoy her and date her and get to know her really well first.

Follow your heart. Why not ask her to marry you but have a long engagement so you will be able to get to know each other better before the big day. My husband and I got engaged after 3 months of knowing each other, we waited 2 and a half years to marry. We have been married for 14 years now.

It's too soon when you don't know what she will say, yes or no. If you are sure she wants to marry you and you're not Pushing Her(?) then it's your life and you can do with it what you think best. Take enough time to meet and know each others families though. There can be some trouble there if you don't establish your boundaries before you get married. Trust me about that one.

We were together for a very short time when I realized that my husband was the one I wanted to marry.
I didn't mention it, but I thought about marrying him fairly early on. I don't remember the time frame. The thing is, you want to be sure she feels the same way, and that can take time. Hope it all works out :D

So you've spent 60 whole days to pledge a commitment that will (supposedly) last the rest of your life. True love doesn't need to rush, infatuation does.

When you don't truly know who it is your marrying! Give it a year, if you still want to marry her, then ask her. Rushing is the leading cause for divorce!

When is the thought of marriage too soon?
I'd say if you have to ask then it is too soon.
