Sometimes love at first sight works for a lifetime...the initial time together is no indication of how long love will last.

Hi. My husband and I married after 9 months of meeting. We decided not to wait as we were both sure we had a good thing going and he is 22 years my senior so we wanted to get a move on so we could have some children. Seven years (and three children (so far!) ) later, we are still very happy and intend to be for a long time yet.

It not the amount of time that you have known each other that is important. Its how you feel about each other and how you make the marriage work. All marriages have ups and downs, so who can say how long a marriage will / can last. I married my ex husband after a 2 year engagement and we were married for 24 years... he started having affairs. I have been married to my 2nd husband for 2 years and we had only known each other for 4 months. All I can say is I have never been happier. If you both love each other go for it.

its so easy to get married and then divorce why r u worrying,
being happy 4 the rest of their lives ,well yes we would all like to believe that but its not true.
the real work starts after the ring is put on the finger.
romance soon fades when reality kicks in.
what is the big rush ,why do you want to be married.
staying together takes a lot of work,u both need to be able to put the other first. compromise compromise

I knew my husband for for six months and then we decided to get married. we have been married for seven years now and have one child of 17 months and we are still very happy together. I think it just depends meeting the right person at the right time. I have friends who knew each other (were engaged) for five years,(I know, they really dragged it out) only then got married and then divorced two years later.

Basically marriage is a risk tha you're willing to take. As my grandma says it's some sort of gambling. I think you can never be 100% sure about it but by knowing each other maybe for a longer time, you can decrease the posibility of a bad ending.
Good luck!

It does work in some cases but then in other cases it doesn't... same as people who get married after a long time of being together.
I would say it's probably better to get to know each other more first. If you're planning on being together for the rest of your lives what's the rush to get married?
Enjoy being together before rushing to get all serious, moving in together, mortgages, children, bills... enjoy the relatively stress free times!

Yes. Though we still have many years to go, my wife and I decided to get married within 6 months and we're not looking back!

You can be with somebody for several years and it turns bad, I'd say its more up to how you deal with problems as they come up. Nobody else can tell you what to do on this one. I've had to work at my marriage after I got my girlfriend pregnant and it was hard at first but now we are so happy together despite the advise against the hasty marriage
