ask yourself this before you say yes..
do you see yourself spending your life with him?
living with him in close quarters? sleeping in the same bed with him every night? Never having a problem discussing anything with him?
do you see yourself with him in 5, 10, 15, 25, 50 years from now?
do you honestly want to take care of him for the rest of your life?
are you comfortable him being a father of your children, taking care of children?
real love is when you see a couple 50 years in marriage, sitting on the front porch holding hands in a swinging chair. Do you see that?
ive been thru a divorce, never want to again. Make sure you are COMPLETELY READY NO DOUBTS ANYWHERE IN SIGHT before you say yes or i do. Divorce is rough... |

1 year. guys need more time than women to settle into a relationship.
Women should NEVER marry a guy who isn't settled in the their relationship. You'll know when he is settled in... he includes you in everything, no secrets, no lies, predictability.
That takes about a year for most guys... could be more... leave him if it's taking too long |

You should date him for at least one year. (they say four seasons). |

You never know a person till you live with them!. Even then it takes a long time to get to know them properly, if ever. You have to feel comfortable in your relationship before you ever consider marriage. If you believe in love at first sight and you feel totally comfortable from the start, you should go with your instincts, and if he askes you to marry him you will know the answer right away. If you dont know the answer right away, and have to stop and consider it then you should wait. You are not ready to take that step. |

This is a wonderful question and there can be no right answer. I have a friend (Rather my first wife and I had a friend) in my flat he met my wife's cousin over dinner, he asked her to marry him before he took her home. That was in 1969 and they are still together.
I asked my first wife after a year and married six months later. we divorced after ten years.
Michael I know you will read this, all my love to Mandy.

depends on how old you are. if you are a teenager,want until you are in your twenties & have finished school & have a job & can support yourself. if the above has been accomphlished, then at least 1 yr, & make sure this is what you want |

there is no exact a time. Nothing comes with a guarantee. new cars come with a Guarantee, and still broke down in the assembly line. Take your' time, get to know him well! How old is he, and how old are you? I'll tell you, coming home from Vietnam, I saw a beatiful young woman, (to me). We are going on 40 years of marriage. But this does not means life is equal for everybody. Good luck!! |

I met and married my 1st husband within six months. We lasted 4yrs. I married my 2nd husband after knowing him 3yrs. Lasted 10yrs. I don't think it matters tho. I met the love of my life and knew instantly. We were together 8yrs and I loved him exactly the same on the first day till the last. Just follow your instinct. |

There is no time limit. It's when you both feel it is right. |

At least 2 years, depending on the man. Men dont always show you their real side when you are dating, usualy after 1 year. And get to spend the second year getting to konw the real real him! trust me! |

My gauge is a year. I know I am old fashioned but I wanted a marriage that would last. |

me and my partner have been together for over 2 1/2 years now, and i know for sure that if he proposed, i would say yes without a second thought. it depends on your relationship and how happy and comfortable you feel. no one but you knows that. |
|

eeeeeeeeee
|
long enough to not having doubts saying yes |

i knew my boyfreind for 4 months and then he asked me to marry him. wait, no, i asked him.
of course he said yes
hehehehhehe
the brave one! |

long enough to know how this person really is and that might take about 2 years, just make sure you know him or her before you commit yourself like that |

It depends on the couple, we are all different. My wife moved in after 2 months, and she said yes after about 8. |

i say two years is the average number. the reason being is it is enough time to see his stable personality. but that's just an average number.
if i married my ex, whom i dated for three years, i'd be divorced. and i married my husband after knowing him for one and a half years and we're extremely happy. |

The main thing to consider is that you fully appreciate the Q. and its commitment you are making to one another.
Time isn't the element. It is whether you love one another sufficiently to spend the rest of your lives together as man and wife, through the good and bad times.
Do hope you make the right decision and that you will always be happy. |

When you feel ready |

I would say the smart thing would be to wait until you been with him happily for 2 to 3 years at least. |

it depends on how you two feel.you don't want to make the wrong decision and then regret it later and have to get a divorce.you have to be sure about everything that happens.it's really up to you. |

When its right 4 both of you! |

There isn't a set time frame for how long you should know him.
It's about love and trust and if you are ready to make a commitment to him. If not - don't marry him. |

I'm still waiting. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years. I think that 2 years is a good time to start thinking about it. That way you two have good idea on each other morals and where you stand as a couple and individually. Good luck |

as long as it takes for you to know you love him and he loves and he'd do anything for you and vice versa |
|

I am I, You are you
 |
I think that 2 yrs is a good amount of time, providing that you are not still in your early 20's. You need to experience life somewhat, and you need to mature more when younger. I read statistics once about people who were younger than 26 had a divorce rate of over 50%. Speaking of my own experience, I would agree. |

Be mindful and if you are a praying woman pray on it...You should know (when he proposes) instantly if he's the one for you. |
|

Evangelina
 |
It depends...some ppl open up pretty quickly some ppl dont, but i think 3 years is good |

I knew that I was going to marry my husband after a month, However had we gotten married then I think we would have a much different relationship than we have now. It took him three years to propose and then another two before we got married. |
