How long should you date before getting married? (divorced, emotionally, internet)

[Straya]

Assuming you get married before 30.

Depends.

There is no one right length of time....life doesn't come with a set of rules like that.

You do the best you can based on where you at emotionally.

I've known successful relationships that married after weeks...others took over a decade...and I've know unsuccessful ones in all time brackets as well.

If you are with the Diss at least 5 years maybe we can discuss marriage.

Whatever length that would put you at least into your 30s.

i agree that there is no particular length of time to date before marriage. i have seen whirlwind romances that last a lifetime, and i have seen those that date for years then get married and then divorced within five years.

I answered 2 years but also think if you are over 40 I wouldn't marry someone without going through at least 4 seasons with them. Under 30 definitely 2 years.

My take is this: if everything's ok after a year...you should talk things over. A long relationship is not good either.

When it feels right.

However long strangers on the internet tell you to.
