personally i thinkn it varies from couple to couple. You need to feel comfortable with them, as well as knowing what your getting yourself into. Don't want to rush things though because it may not go as well as you would've thought. All i say is when you feel that you can handle it and you feel your love with your partner is strong. Just don't be too young!

I'm not quite sure I understand the question.
If you're asking about a certian age that all depends on your maturity level. If you're a man you need to make sure you have a steady job to support you wife. If you're a woman then make sure you're old enough to be a good wife and mother (you never know when a little "surprise" might come along). I'd say you should be at least 21, but even then it all depends on whether or not you really feel you can handle anything (and i mean anything) that comes your way. Are you ready for committment, can and will you spend the rest of your life with that person?
Secondly if you're asking how long you should wait once you've found the right one I would say wait at least a year so you truly know the person. Afterall they're suppose to be your life's mate.

That depends on how fast the two people click. You see sometimes you go on a first day and you both know you are meant to be. At least that is what happened to me. But even though we knew we were meant to be we dated for 1 year and got married after that. So even if you know the person is the right one. Always give yourselves some time to date so that you can get the feel of what married life will be like.

You don't REALLY know someone for at least 2.5 - 3 years. The entire first year you're hanging out with someone, you're both on your best behavior! It's very rare that a marriage (in the US) will last if the people knew each other less than 1 year before marrying.

if I just met someone and we kicked it for about a year and marriage came up, the wait would be 3 - 5 years if I found some discrepancies in him, his issues, and the way he handles all of his business. However, if everything checks out fine from the get-go and we are compatible, I would wait just 2 years, if we agree upon marriage. Otherwise, I would stay free and single.

Not until your at least 25 years old, regardless of how long you have been together. Since you don't really become who you're going to be as an adult until your late 20's if you marry before then you run the risk of "growing apart" as your interests change.

Most women work on the three year plan
either date 1year / engaged 2years
or date 2years /engaged 1 year
the clock ticks louder after age 25, 3 years means 28, a little late to start having babies.

generally speaking:
until you feel you have experience with men, you dont want to be with a man and not being able to communicate correctly with him , it ll lead to divorce, go out as much as you can , get an idea about men, how to deal with them , know how to raise children and nurse them without the help of you mom or a babysitter.
make sure you are a good cook, nobody likes to eat bad food or order fast food everyday.
get a job, dont rely on your husband to give you your allowance, there s a good chance he wont .
be independent and have a strong personality, weak women attrack mentally sick men , they ll mke your life a living hell.
finally do the feminin homework , set the bate for the guy and LET HIM come to you.
good luck .
if you need more advice dont hesitate to write me .

With the divorce rate the way it is, (half of marriages will not last) I'd say you need to wait until you're sure this person is totally the one. How long that is, only you know.
