I mean, especially young people.I personally think that you should know the person for quite a while before you do something drastic.Because, you know not everyone can be faithful especially when they are young and naive.Whats your views on this issue?

Marriage is a lifetime decision but knowing the person before has nothing to do with the decision believe me.
the Husband is diffrent from the boyfriend.
Good luck & God bless you

I don't think being young and naive has anything to do with anything.
Do people not realize that, on average, people are getting married at a LATER age than ever?!?!?!?!
I'm already older than my mom was when she was married and had 2 kids.....and I'm not married yet....and no children.
I don't think that the length of time you know someone makes a damn lick of difference. People change over time....that goes with anyone. I don't think knowing someone 2 weeks or 8 years can help ANYONE predict how another person will be 30 years from now.
I think the reason relationships aren't as strong now is because women are more independent. Women can make it on their own, so they aren't going to stick around and put up with as much bullshit as they would have say.....50 years ago. PLUS, divorce is more 'socially accepted' now. So of course it will be more common!
But maybe that's just my opinion....you can blame it on whatever you'd like...

Unfortunately, that is the reason of most divorces now adays. Society makes it too easy to get married and divorced. Marriage was meant to last forever and to be taken serious. Yet, people change marriages like they change clothes, if it don't fit get rid of it. Why work on something that is just way too easy to replace. It's very sad if you ask me.

i don't think one can put a time limit on how long you should know someone before marraige. i know a couple who knew one another only 2 weeks before they married and they are still going strong 30 yrs later. on the other hand, i also know couples who knew each other for many yrs, got married and divorced less than 2 yrs later.i knew i wanted to marry my husband after only 6 months. we didn't for another 3 yrs but that was our desicion.

I MET A GIRL IN MAY OF1996, FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT IN SEPT. OF 1996. HAD OUR SON IN JUNE 1997. MARRIED THE SAME GIRL IN MAY 1998. IN OCTOBER 2002 HAD OUR DAUGHTER. AND, OF COURSE, ARE STILL VERY HAPPILY MARRIED TODAY. AND YES, I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IN A NEW YORK SECOND!!! HEY, YOU WILL KNOW WHEN ITS THAT "SPECIAL" GIRL . MY VIEW IS: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY NOT EVERYBODY ELSE.
