That's purely a matter of personal preference. It all depends on how anxious you are to get married.

It would depend on my age, and what I wanted.... If I were a lady of 23+ finished with my education, had a great job, and wished to have children, probably 3 is plenty. If I were 38 and wanted again to be married, 2 is enough. If I were over 50, have a great job, children, if any, gone, my own money, house, then, perhaps, not at all. Living alone and having a great sig. other in my life would be fine, unless I wanted to live with someone. Marriage is to legitimize children, so after childbearing, marriage might not even be necessary, as living together under one roof might not be necessary....

The answer to this depends on ALOT of things. The one thing that is most important is that BOTH partners need to agree on the amount of time. If one wants it now and the other one wants to wait five years, then it is NOT O.K. Marriage is a commitment, not 50/50 but 100/100. Both parties need to communicate their wants and needs and agree to listen to and respect each others needs.

It could go on indefinitely if you both are comfortable.Does it really matter how much time?Do you want to get married just for sake of being married or Do you want to be married for all the right reasons? These days men aren't always the one to make a marriage proposal....just consider it.

Depends on your age and maturity. The older you are, the less time you should take to propose. I'd say one year, 18 months at the most, is a good amount of time..

Personally, I would say three years at most. I think after this time, you should know whether or not you want to spend the rest of your life with someone. I don't mean you actually have to get married after three years, but goodness, at least get engaged!

Disagree.
2 years is a good framework.
The whole notion of meeting someone in less than 11 months and deciding that you HONESTLY want to spend the REST OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE with them is verging on absurdity.
Though I like our microwave society, I will NOT rush my call to the altar because of my fiance's inpatience.

It depends on a lot of things, particularly your age. Ask yourself why the wait- is it for practical reasons or does he just not want to commit?
