It really depends on the couple. I defiantly think they need to live together before they truly know each other..

I think that the best is if you start going out with someone who you know some things about, maybe a friend's friend or something like that. Then I guess you should get to know him for a year or two... The main thing is though to live with him for a year or so before you marry him, so that you know how he is in his everyday life. There are many things that you just don't see when you're living seperately...

There is no right or wrong answer. People get divorced even after going steady for years and some arranged marriage lasts long time. Important thing to acknowledge is that there is NO PERFECT match. If the difference is not very important then you need to accept your partner as he or she is. So once you have full confidance that you can live with your partner for your life, get married. It may be as long as you need to feel this way.

As long as they need in order to decide that they really do love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. I know people who've dated for a year and gotten married and had a wonderful marriage and others who've been with the same person for five years before a marriage and it still doesn't work out. You just have to know yourself, know the other person, and trust your instincts.

It all depends on how well you click...i know a couple that met at a club and turned around and got married two months later and have been married for 22 years (my in-laws)...i think thats so amazing...but the chances of that happening again is like 1 in a million what do you think

At least a few months but honestly, I think it's almost as big a mistake to court or date or whatever TOO long...a lot of people get married when they are jaded by the other person. You should get married when you are still crazy and romantic about each other, and it will sustain you when things get rough.

Live with each other for awhile 1st. This way you truly get to know each other when you aren't always on your best behaviour. If you can leave with each other through the good days and the bad days, then get married. For some it's months and others it's years.

I would advise dating someone exclusively for at least a year before considering marriage. Too many people rush into marriage only to find themselves in a sticky situation months or years down the road. Take the time to really know the person. It isn't a race to the alter.
