How long should you be engaged before being married?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

There really is no set time. It depends on a lot of things: How long you knew each other before you were engaged If you're in love and know it, just go off and get married Planning a big wedding takes time Some people can meet one day and get married a couple of months later claiming they have found their soul mate. Personally, it's best to wait at least a year after dating, get engaged and then get married anytime the both of you feel like it. Remember, big weddings take good planning and time. Small garden weddings are equally as nice and can be done in less than half the time if kept on a more informal basis.

Answer 3

I think you should wait at least 2 or 3 years, maybe even more before getting married. i don't really know, i may be wrong, that's just what i think.

AnswerThere's no limit, really. Some people wait a long time so that they can be certain that they are REALLY ready to make the commitment. AnswerI'd say the other way around---get to know each other before you decide to marry. Let *that* take 2 or 3 years. Then when you get engaged, marry within 6 months. It is easier to get out of a steady dating relationship than an engagement, and easier to get out of an engagement than a marriage.

-

Where I come from it's said that the wedding should take place within a year after the engagement!

Never the less it's not something that people live by. Speaking from experience, it takes a LOT of time to plan a wedding and most couples here take 2-3 years from the proposal to the wedding day.

My uncle and aunt got married a few years ago - more than 30 years after they got engaged - so anything is possible!

Answer 4

That is entirely up to the couple. I myself had a 5 month courtship with my husband before we were married. It was just natural.

I have also known people who have been together for 10, 20 years or more without marrying and are happy with that arrangement.

Marriage shows more commitment and devotion, though, than just dating for a long time. That's just an opinion though.

I was with someone for two years and then got married and two years later...Divorced. It all depends. Listen to your heart. It can take months or years.

Answer 5

• When a person gets engaged they can wait three months to a year. A year is much better because the couple can get to know each other more and be sure they are doing the right thing. This also gives them time to prepare themselves for the future.
  
• Some couples have waited much shorter times, many have regretted it.

Answer 6

There is no exact time period for you to be engaged before getting married and similarly there is no exact time period for you to know each other before you get engaged. It is more about your relationship and your level of understanding towards each other. Sometimes, you click with a person in a moment, in a confession, in a way they compliment you, in a way they treat you, in a way, they introduce you to their loved ones. Sometimes, people can know each other for a very long time but still drift apart from each other. For other times, it is highly possible that people know each other for very little time and still turns out the best for each other. It is not about the time but about the quality of any relationship. If you think that you can last together and you have the energy, stamina, and respect to do that, you can get engaged right away.

Answer 7

There is no fixed time to understand someone and know about them. It depends on both people to understand each other and how much You have an understanding between each other.

Today some people are good by heart and they have one face but sometimes people are fake and we are not able to understand them. What they want.

One of the most things about marriage You should see they are interested in you or not if they are really interested in you then they will real with you.
