Getting engaged 4months into the relationship,is it a good idea?

Answer 1

Most couples that get engaged after 4 months usually don't work out, but there are some that do. Again, really depends on the depth of the relationship between the two people. There is no "time limit" on engagement or marriage for that matter. Although at the beginning of the relationship, people are still in the "trying to be perfect" stage most of the time, not showing their flaws or quirks. It really depends on how well you know the other person.

From personal experience, I've been in relationships where I was in it for a few months and thought "this is it", and then a few years into it, realizing that I didn't know this person like I thought I did. Then again, I'm in one now where I couldn't be happier, and we committed to each other after 1 month, and it's been almost 5 years. So it really depends. If you both feel that your relationship with each other is at the point where you both really really really know each other, 4 months is sufficient.

Answer 2

I know a lot of people out there would say no it is not a good idea and that the relationship is too early to determine if you love someone or not but I did. I knew my husband from the first time we really spoke and in three short months that felt as though we knew each other forever got married. We are happy and are also experiencing the ups and downs in marriage as well we have a baby on the way. We love each other more than anything else in the world.

Answer 3

There's no set rule on when to get engaged or married. Your heart is the only thing you have to answer to. What feels right to me or someone else may not feel right to you. You can love some one for a few days or a few years. But time as we know it has no bearing on the heart. Listen only to the man in the mirror and your heart. Live, Love, Laugh. It ain't that serious once you take time to think about it. You can seek advice from the best to the rest but ultimately it's your own thoughts that matter. What if you listen to someone who you think knows what they are talking about and it just happen to be the wrong advice. Listen only to YOUR heart and follow your mind. Life is good and getting better. Go ahead, ask the man in the mirror. Take care.

Peace and Love

Answer 4

It all depends on the people involved; the maturity, age, type of relationship they have. Someone in my family married after only 2 wks of knowing each other and 60 years later they still are very much in love. People will do what they want anyway, reguardless of warnings from others. Remember that most of the time, they say they shouldve listened.
Its not something to be taken lightly, forever is a long time.

Answer 5

It is a bit soon, Every relationship I have been in, those first 3-5 months are the BEST!!! But that always changes, give it at least a full year. Or make it a really long engagement.
:0)

Answer 6

I think it depends on your ages to an extent. I think it is fine if both of you are confident you are meant for each other. You may consider a longer engagement, and it usually takes more than a year to adequately prepare a wedding anyway.

My wife got engaged in six months, but it could have been just as easy to do four. Our engagement was a year, and now we've been married for ten.

Answer 7

I could trust the final public of the solutions. i think of waiting is magnificent- there's no choose in any admire to hurry into it. If i ought to grant one little bit of suggestion it would be to hearken to those that have had comparable reports interior the previous. they might no longer enable you comprehend what you decide directly to hearken to on the time yet i dare wager, a pair of years down the line, you will seem back and notice what they have been announcing. i became engaged at 17 and that i assumed that i knew each and every thing etc...its basically now that i will seem back and that i will see how naive i became. Dont basically brush off different peoples comments, possibility is they have been there and are basically attempting to help.

Answer 8

Normally I'd say no, but who really knows other than you?

One of my dear friends got engaged after 2 weeks of KNOWING her boyfriend. They have been married for 15 years now and have 3 boys and would not have changed a thing.

My brother in law met and married his wife within 9 months of knowing her and my sister in law started dating a man at the end of January this year and will marry in October this year.

It can turn out right-but be sure it's right for the both of you.

Answer 9

I got engaged when me and my bf where 3 months into it, we were getting married the 4th month. He broke it off the day before becuase he felt like everything was moving to fast. We are now happily living in an apt, and everything is great and we are talking about when we want to get married. But we are just going to go do it at the court house.

Answer 10

I did, and got married within 6 months. I would say date longer, have a long engagement. That is probably when he'll treat you the best, in a lot of ways it's all downhill after marriage. :) After marriage you're no longer blind to his faults (same for him). Trust me, you'll believe me after you're married at least 2 years.

Make sure you know yourself and love yourself before gettig married. The fact that you're asking this question should tell you something. Listen to your head and heart!
