How long did you date/know eachother before getting married?

Bella

i met (sort of, i was so wasted at the time i don't remember him at the party) my husband in Jan 2003. He was dating a friend of mine. I saw him again Jan 2004 at a dinner a mutual friend arranged. I dated a guy from that same dinner (who was his friend) for a year. Then one drunken night in Feb 2005 i woke up in his bed. i haven't left since. We are now married with a baby on the way.

My parents- TWO WEEKS! They both met in Egypt while on vacation then came back here and got married right away. two weeks...!!!! That amazes me. And the weird part is they're still together- they've been married for like 21 years now. They say it was love at first sight and they didn't have to wait because they already knew they were made for each other :-)

we knew each other for 5 weeks and everyone we knew told us it would never last and not to do it. We have been married now for 26 years and all of those "experts" are now divorced. The time before is irrelevant, it is the bond between you that matters."Love at first site" DOES happen! It did to us.

It depends. All couples are different. You need to date until you are totally comfortable with each other and each others families and friends. This could be a few months or a year. My husband and I dated for a year and then we were engaged for a little over a year. I don't think anyone should be engaged for longer than a year. The engagement is only meant to be as long as it takes to make the wedding plans. The important thing is that you know each other inside and out and are comfortable with each other in every way.

Two years and for us that wasn't long enough.

I knew my husband for four years, had dated for two years of that, and were engaged for one year of that time. It was a great way to make a solid foundation- friends first, then lovers, then husband and wife. I guess it worked because we've been married ten years now and are going strong! :)

At 41 I have met my soulmate and best friend. We knew each other two days before we got engaged and we have been living together for nine months. As we have both been divorced, we are going to wait about a year before marrying.

You know I think I answer this question once a week on this Yahoo answers thing. No disrespect, but it seems to be a popular question. Anyhoo - 3 yrs.

Poppet

We went to high school together, but at that point he was just a face to a name. In fact, I use to get him and his brother confused. We weren't even friends.

Four years later his sister (who I worked with) took me home with her for Christmas and he was home from college for the holiday. By that April we were married.

So, we had a four month courtship. This April will be 7 years.

My wife and I dated for about a year and a half. We broke up for about 3 months in the middle of that time, largely because she had gone to a different school and the long distance thing was a problem. We then lived together for a year before we were married.

bettyjoe

2 years and that's after the kid was born.

My man and I have been together over five years, and lived together for three. We are not married, and have no plans to do anytime soon - but if we do, we'll have many years of experience living together for it!

1 year

LeeCee

Dated for about a year and a half, then moved in together and lived together for around another year and a half before getting married.

slap_shot69

We met about 14 months ago and have been dating 11 months. We got engaged a couple of months ago. If I were to do it again, I would have waited until about the year and a half mark before proposing. We are both 30 years old, so we thought we had the experience to know what we wanted without taking a LOT of time. I wish we'd have taken a little more. Take your time and don't rush!! Make sure!!
