It depends on their age. I think if they are 40ish and have been around the block a few times that they have the judgement to see if that other person does meet their expectations. If it's an 18 year old, I'd say the chances aren't good and they were blinded by horomones.

doesn't matter how long someone has been together if they are mature enough and in love why cant someone marry within 3 months? My fiance proposed 2/3 months after meeting and when we get married we'll have only known each other 10 months. I think our chances are as good as anyone elses. We know it is right for us.

I was in that situation myself. I met my ex-husband on December 29, we married on February 20, and seperated November 12. I was crazy in love with this guy and he kept encouraging me that we should just elope. I finally agreed to run off with this man whom I thought was the love of my life. We went one weekend and got married, after knowing each other less than 2 months. He treated me like a queen and when I married him I really thought that he was the man I would spend the rest of my life with. Months later things began to fall apart. I found out that he had other women on the side, then the big shocker. My parents had become suspicious about him and asked a friend to look into his background. It turns out that the man I married was a 3 time convicted felon. He has spent time in prison and is currently on probation for bigamy. It turns out that the man I married is not who I thought he was. Our divorce was final a few weeks ago.
I don't tell you this to discourage you, because it can work out. I know people who met, married soon after and have been together for 40 years. Just make sure you really know this person. If they don't introduce you to friends and family, there could be a good reason for that. If your friends tell you that things are not right...listen to them. They are usually right. Just be careful

Their chances are awesome if they are willing to work at keeping their vows and make the commitment to each other. I proposed to my wife on our first date which was 3 days after we met officially (I had seen her twice over a year period). A month later, we were married and are more in love with each other than ever after 19 years. It wasn't always easy but, nothing good is always easy.

Honestly speaking and it's only my opinion, for
someone to know each other for a very short per-
iod of time and get married within three months
they have a 50/50 percent of the marriage work-
ing out 50percent for the part known and 50per-
cent for the part un-known which weighs a lot
heavier.

Nowadays, I think their chances are as good as anyone else's. And nothing happens by chance, you have to both be willing to work at your marriage, always and forever. Don't get me wrong, there are absolutely circumstances when divorce is justified, but I think for the most part too many people throw in the towel and take the easy way out instead of trying to make things right.

If the trust, honesty, communication and RESPECT are there, it doesn't matter how long you were together before marriage. You could be together 10 years before marriage, and if those 4 things are not there, there is no hope. Marriages that don't last are generally where one person is doing all the giving and the other is doing all the taking.

that was me 4 years ago...im still married....happily....and as far as the age helping...it might
but it doesnt make it or break it, know why? i just turned 21!
i think it all depends on how much effort you are willing to put into a relationship. your chances are best if you have good comunication, patience, and compromise, and commitment
