it depends on the factors of how u truly feel in ur heart and if he/she feels the same way ANSWER I have been married for 49 years and i can tell you that you have this feeling that you want to spend and give your life to this women or man is or can be brought at anytime and that is true love. Friendly : It only takes a year to know someone before getting engaged. It's enough to really know who and what kind of person you are engaging with. You are now able to accept the good and bad habits. Think wisely. If he puts on a pair of chains and likes it. Then he is probably broken enough I say at least 3 or 4 years. It may sound crazy but you have to remember this is the person you are going to be with for the rest of your life! I LOVE SCOTT FOREVER AND EVER NO MATTER WOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!kel
: I knew my husband for three months before getting married, not engaged, we were engaged a week prior to getting married. While I do not necessarily recommend this for everyone, for us it worked and we have been together for a long time now.
to this question there is definitely no certain answer if you are in love & they love you back just as much then, it doesn't matter how long you've been together even when your married you find out more and more about your husband or wife.
---Addition --- It is more important to know each other well, , rather than how long you have known each other. The most important factor is that you are both at a point in your life that you can make a lifelong commitment - you have the education and a job where you can support yourself, and that you both have reached a level of emotional maturity.
Plain and Simple, at least a year so you can find out all their bad habits. then you can decide if you can put up with them
:
Till you get to know what you need to know to decide to continue or step back.
Even if it was only a couple of hours.
Question: So i have been with my man for 2 years now, we've lived together for a year and a half. I know him pretty good, I want to get married but I'm afraid to tell him. I've had issues with getting him to say he loves me....I'm always asking if he does or not. its the only way he'll say it. He can't even compliment me without choking on the Words. We've talked about marriage but he has never said it could be me he wants it's always, "if i were to marry a girl" or "when i get married". Am I wasting my time? He's 29 now and has no plans for his future. I told him that he's 29 now and its time to settle down, he said " i am settled, i have a new truck, new house, and a good job" he never mentioned me until i said something. What should i do? Is it too early to be thinking about marriage?
My dear lady,
yes leave him, some men just like to seek women's love but don't like to engage with a woman who already shows interest in him, this is the human nature, doesn't appreciate what's in hand.
it is your right to talk about marriage. Marriage is the only guarantee that you get your full rights, and your future children rights. from now, leave him and find another place, let him taste the life without you, cut any chance of contact with him, then if he called you, asking to return back, don't hesitate to ask for your rights, with strong manner and steady voice, and if the answer is no, erase him from your life, he doesn't deserve another minute, and if it was yes, let it be a practised yes, means that he should start immediately with the preparations for marriage.
My dear lady,
Never let your nature suppress your reasonable thinking, protect yourself and your life, your present and your future, do never let a man even touch your hand unless he marries you, coz when he finds it hard to gain your approval, he will then become concerned with you even stronger, and will later appreciate your self confidence and respect.
May you live in happiness. Amen

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years now and i was freaking out wondering why he hasn't proposed yet and second guessing if he really loved me. But then I realized that it was for a good reason. Now the divorce rate has increased greatly and marriage rate obviously decreased. One of the reasons for this is because many people are rushing into marriage for all of the wrong reasons and with the wrong person. Marriage is taken advantage of these days unlike the old days. It is better to wait and make sure the person you are with is really going to be the one you want to spend the rest of your life with.
you should wait 2 to 3 years before you marry somebody as my view from a marriage countsler
