As you know unfortunately there are divorces very frequent today. In
this day and age marriages fall apart and the divorce rate is high.


When I am in a long relationship what is a good time span to wait until
marriage? That could be a number of years or months.

Okay, well I'm a youngin'. I want advice from those experienced in
long-term relationships, marriages, and divorced.

All of my fellow high school graduates are either engaged or married
with kids right now!

Umm how many years is a good amount to wait to walk down that aisle?

493.7 give or take...

eh?

I was with my ex for five years. It was long enough to let me know that
didnt want to walk down the aisle.

It was at least 5 years for me before I said "I DO"...and then he
"DIDN'T"...

thank you so much you guys. What I'm getting is wait it out and see if
it is right. For you guys ..5 years righ?

At least five years BoredChick!...

thank you

Yep. Five years sounds good, but every couple is different

True but people who get married after a year tend to break up quickly.

There is no timeline, baby; no magic formula. There is a magic potion
that... Anyway, your heart will let you know. Do not rush it.

thankyou passion

hmm if you don't know before any 5 yrs then that one must not be the
one!

The ex and I dated 1-1/2 years before we got married. I'd say that was a
pretty good amount of time, not too long--not too short, but I've been
wrong!

I dated my husband 2 and a half years before we got married but we were
young and we wanted him to finish school before we got married.

Well my opinion on that is threre is no time frame in order to wait it
all depends on the two involved. My ex and I only dated for about 3
months before we got married and was married 11 years everyone it
differnt at that time when it happens go with your heart you will know
what is right for you.

rivergirl "but I've been wrong!"

wow 3 months ur bold. I'm glad it was long time

Actually has nothing to do with being bold I knew from the moment I saw
him he was the one. Well thought it would last a life time but we are
never sure how long they will last. But can't complain I have 2 kids
that have been my heart and my world from the marriage so regardless of
what happen I have memories for a life time.
