2 and 48 hours
Friar Laurence's letter is not delivered to Romeo because Friar John was kept in quarantine since there was a plague in his house. Friar John wanted to go to Mantua himself but he couldn't. Once Friar Laurence hears this he says: "Now must I to the monument alone. Within these three hours will fair Juliet wake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath had no notice of these accidents; But I will write again to Mantua, And keep her in my cell till Romeo come." His plan is to go to the tomb, get Juliet then write a second letter. But Friar Laurence's second letter is never sent to Romeo because Romeo's servant Balthazar has already told him Juliet is dead. Romeo arrives at the tomb before Friar Laurence can even write the second letter, which results in Romeo killing himself, which results in Juliet killing herself.
they say she must marry or move out.
The friar failed to take reasonable steps to tell Romeo to come and get Juliet, by sending the message with Friar John instead of someone who was likely to see Romeo anyway, like Balthazar. But the plan was flawed anyway in having Romeo come to pick Juliet up. Because nobody could tell for sure when she was going to wake up unless they watched her drink the potion, the friar should have got the iron crow in the first place and have broken into the vault himself, removed Juliet and smuggled her to Mantua. But he was too much of a moral coward to propose this.
"Banishment? Be kind, say death!" Romeo kind of goes off the rails when he realizes that he cannot be in the same town as Juliet. Friar Lawrence has to shake him up and make him see reason--that things could be much worse.
She has to get herself to him to get married, and other people will get her to the tomb, where she is to meet Romeo, who will take her to Mantua. Only after Romeo is dead does he suggest that he himself will take her anywhere, when he says he will dispose of her among a sisterhood of holy nuns. Think of how much simpler it would have been for Friar Lawrence to have taken Juliet to Mantua himself, and then have reported to Capulet that she had become a nun.

Relationships with parents aren't always fatherly or motherly. Sometimes you can share this relationship with someone not related to you. In the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare Romeo shares a son-to-father relationship with Friar Laurence. Montague does try to make a relationship with Romeo but Romeo doesn't seem to want to as well. Romeo's relationship with his father is meaningless but that is not so with the Friar. Comparing the two relationships reveals that his with the Friar is much greater than his with his father. Romeo's relationship with Lord Montague doesn't really mean much to Romeo. Romeo, in the play, shows much respect when talking to Montague. He shows no form of feelings but to show his father that he is respectful towards him. Throughout the play Romeo seems to not care what Montague thinks. Romeo also does not express his feelings to his father. When Romeo is sadden by the rejection of Rosaline Montague makes in effort to comfort his son but Romeo doesn't pay much attention to Montague. When Romeo finally meets Juliet, his lover, he decides not to tell Montague which almost outlines his relationship with Montague. If Romeo's relationship with Montague was anything near father-to-son he would of mentioned Juliet to him. Romeo does not have a very strong relationship with Montague at all. Romeo's relationship with Montague is totally unlike his with Friar Laurence. It is very obvious that Romeo completely trusts Friar Laurence. When Romeo meets Juliet he only tells the friar. Romeo communicates with the Friar like a son and father should. Romeo explains his feelings for Juliet to the friar. Romeo also only goes to the Friar when he needs assitance. Whenever Romeo is Banished for the killing of Tybalt, Romeo turns to the Friar and hides in his cell because he wants to see Juliet again. Friar Laurence is definitely the fatherly figure in Romeo's corrupt life. Romeo's relationship with Friar Laurence is more developed than his with Montague. Throughtout the play Romeo speaks his mind to Friar Laurence and tells him exactly whats going on. In contrast, he doesn't tell Montague more than he has to. Romeo doesn't even really have a decent conversation with Montague. Romeo speaks to Montague with much respect and discipline like a butler would do to his master. Romeo speaks freely without censorship to the Friar and tells him exactly what is on his mind. When Romeo seeks help he goes to Friar Laurence not Montauge. Romeo never goes to Montague for anything. When Romeo mentions his love for Juliet he goes to the Friar. When Romeo was banished and needed help, he goes to Friar. The gap in Romeo's relationship with Montague is filled by his with Friar Laurence. Romeo's relationship with the Friar is the opposite of his with Montague. Friar Laurence has a much more stronger relationship with Romeo than Montauge. Biologically Montague is Romeo's father, but mentally Friar Laurence is Romeo's true father.
Romeo may or may not take Friar Laurence's advice to be cautious, as he often follows his emotions without much consideration for consequences. However, given their close relationship, Romeo might give some weight to the advice given by Friar Laurence. Ultimately, Romeo's actions will depend on the intensity of his emotions and impulsiveness at the time.
"Banishment? Be kind, say death!" Romeo kind of goes off the rails when he realizes that he cannot be in the same town as Juliet. Friar Lawrence has to shake him up and make him see reason--that things could be much worse.

During act 2 Romeo and Juliet say that their love has grown so much that it cannot be counted. Romeo and Juliet then go to Friar Lawrence to get married.
Romeo spends the entire book in love with a girl, if it Rosaline (a girl who does not love him). Or later Juliet, Romeo falls in and out of love hard and often. Mercutio believes that love is unimportant, he has never fallen in love and I doubt plans to. When he speaks of Romeo he calls him a fool for loving women as -much- as he does. Friar Laurence, says "young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes". Which means Friar believes Romeo is too young to know what real love is, and all he is feeling is lust.
Friar Laurence is warning John Friar about the serious consequences that could arise from neglecting or not properly addressing the important message contained in the letter. He is emphasizing the urgency of the situation and stressing the potential dangers that could result from ignoring the message.
