How Long Is Long Enough?

Well, this is obviously a hard question to answer. You see, just like people, situations are differ and vary. It depends a on a number of things. Like how quickly a couple bonds or how they get to know one another. Some people have a harder time opening up to their partner, hence the relationship may take longer to develop. Unfortunately some people say that they are so “in love” and marry very quickly. Sometimes they don’t even know what they are getting into. And that is when you end up having either a. a horrible life or b. divorce and maybe another marriage.Certain circumstances determine a lot also. But enough of Dr. Phil.

There are many things that go into a marriage. Some couples are ready for the big change and others are not(these people tend to be cheaters). Sometimes there is a connection between two people early in a relationship and sometimes it takes a couple of years for that connection to be made. I have seen marriages that have worked out and others that haven’t. The ones that haven’t worked out is usually because they really didn’t know each other or because of the fact that people do change over time. Jumping into a marriage early on is not usually the best idea, but in some cases it is.

Well, if two people love each other they should go and get married right away but if you don’t love your partner well enough as in you have to get to know them better then of course its going to take months to years to pop that question out, ” Will you marry me”. The people that don’t get married right away probably have commitment problems or the man/women may have had kids in their past marriages that they don’t talk about and thats sorta why it takes sometimes so long for someone to get married to someone else.

I think it really depends on some things, but to give you answer… My friend’s grandparents met and got married within a week and they’ve been married forever, but then again maybe times have changed. But it certainly is ridiculous to be engaged for two years, that sounds like someone is unsure. I guess I’d say two seasons at least(if the people are ABSOLUTELY SURE), a year at most. It took most of my married family members to meet and get married from three months to a year.
But that was just to answer your question.

To me I would have to like this person a lot to marry them. I am not trying to rush into things right now so I think I shel wait .

You should not have to know them long but feel comfortable with them if you are thinking about settling down it shouldn’t matter if you known the person for 10 days or 10 years if you love them them you marry them.

I think that you should know a person for at least a year before you marry them. The reason for that is because you can never know everything about a person and even if you’ve known them for a year or your whole life, you still don’t really know them.These days you have a lot of people who say that it is “love at first sight” and thats why they got married. But, truthfully how can you meet someone and already be willing to give up everything for them. Another thing is people who get married too soon sometimes don’t last. They seem to forget the whole “till death do us part.” Thats why I believe you should wait for at LEAST a year.

I really don’t know how long you should wait. It all depends on the people invoulved in the relationship. If it feels right you should go for no matter how long you’ve known the person. BUt you shounldn’t just settle. No matter what always go for what you want. If the relationship dosn’t feel right well then you shouldn’t marry him.

I think it all depends. I mean it isn’t really smart to marry someone without knowing everything about them. I think you need to wait a little bit more time before you get married in order to see if you really love the person. I say this because divorce rate has gone up.

I believe that the couple should be friends/best friends before getting married. Divorce is running rampent in the U.S. today. One of the reasons is not getting to know the person before you put the ring on. Marriage is not a game. People need to be sure of their decision. Too many people think they love the person at one sight. They only see the cover and about five or six pages, not the entire book.

i believe that there should be a signifcant amount of time before on gets married preferably after college becauses statisticaly the average marrage does not last as long as it should if the persons are married betweent the ages of 20-24. but what do i know “love” is a powerful thing so what might not work for one couple might work for the next. so all in all i think if you and your partner put an equal amount of time and trust and all the other great things a relationship is based on the couple could last a great time but hey marriage sucks all in all.

That is a very difficult question to answer. Personally I believe that there is no absolute standard amount of time that people should wait before they get married, I think that the couple should get married whenever they are most comfortable.

In my situation, I can get married now if i very well pleased to do so. The thing is I’m still waiting for a couple of years not because I want to get to know her better, but because of financial reasons. If I had a say in, I would’ve married her six months after I met her. Contrary to anyone’s belief, no one can give you a time limit on marriages.

i think you should wait awhile because you might not like them like you like them.
