I'm not a woman, but I am kind of interested in the responses to this
topic. Not that you asked a guy, but as one my opinion is that marriage
after only two weeks of knowing someone is begging for disaster. You
can't possibly know enough about someone in that short period of time to
even begin to think about trying to spending the rest of your life with
them, IMO.

On the other hand, things probably wouldn't be too dull in the more then
likely brief marriage time. I mean, after such a short period of time
and getting a chance to really learn about someone and what makes them
tick, you'll be constantly surprised by new and sometimes annoying
traits, habits and general quirks that in most cases lead to a final
destination in a divorce courtroom. -=x

During this two weeks how much time is actually spent together? A few
dates maybe lasting a few hours, talking on the phone now and again,
chatting online is really about all the time I would have expected to
spend with someone I say I have known for two weeks. Or is it the two
were tied at the hips from day one? There is a vast difference in hours
spent with someone as opposed to the number of days you've been
aquainted.
And NO. I would not marry anyone who hasn't been to at least two of my
family reunions.

been out for week. And then my answer were NO:)

I gotta tell ya...I was in a game site with a friend one night last year
and having a good ol chat..after a little bit this one lady started
interjecting..nothing rude and it wasn't really a personal conversation
so we didn't care..a little later that evenoing we both had e-mails from
her apologizing for "butting in."(which she really didn't)..Anyway she
asked if she minded if she added me to her friends list I said np...we
talked for about 3 days and she seemed cool..until the 3rd night when
she went to say goodnight, she also threw out an "I love
you"...whooaaaaaa back the truck up there dearie....3 days and she says
I love you???..I mean my God, even with ladies and girls I've known
personally those 3 words were never uttered after 3 days of dating or
even after 3 nights of mattress dancing.
NOW having said that, I have also talked about souls coming back for
more runs thru life, and SOMETIMES 2 ppl meet that are TRUE soulmates,
they feel like they've known each other forever because they have..just
in previous lives.And how do you differentiate between strong feelings
aof immediate attraction and immediate familiarity?..ask questions or
try and guess what they're favourite colour is...it should be the type
of guess of likes and dislikes that would be relevant thru time..if you
are able to guess things like fave foods and colour, you know, just
basic info, then chances are you DID meet in a past life..either that or
yer a psychic...if you don't know those things without them telling you
first I'd say 2 weeks is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to fast and just an
invitation to disaster

There is NO way I would move in with someone in 2 weeks let alone marry
someone. How could you even begin to know someone in that short of time?
I don't think you really even begin to know someone in a year---heck
sometimes you can spend several years with someone and still not even
know them!!
I say take things slow, if they are the one...you have a whole lifetime
to get to know this person and eventually marry them. If they want to
rush into it, there has to be a reason behind it.

To wed or not to wed, that is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn(e)
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch[1] and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

well I guess not.

for u Jen for u deserve to be happy and so my advise to u is to follow
ones heart and do what u feel is nessary for u to be happy. what others
think should not be taken to heart. it is ur decision and maybe sum
didnt work but it is up to u and ur man and most of all God to allow it
to work for u. I am prolly one of the best friends u have and i would
never steer u wrong. hugs

I would say no. I have been married and it takes a long time ot really
know someone--2 weeks is too short.
You should know the real person with all their plus and faults, and
still love them anyhow.

I say no way. If it's meant to be then it's worth waiting for at least
until you get to know one another better. Marriage is a huge step and
should be done with a lot of thought and consideration.
