That's like buying a brand new home without an inspection.
It's a little different if you have actually known the person before the dating period, but straight up only knowing one another for a few shirt weeks is a gamble larger than going all in with a ****ty hand
For some people, it is easy to fall head over heals in love very quickly. There's a gut feeling: this person is just right for me. But it doesn't always work out, does it?
So, the best thing to do is watch the rate of change in your attachment feelings as you gain more experience until both of you feel perfectly comfortable. Commitment phobes, people who are always looking for warning signs, never get there.
I think it's impulsive but it works out for some. I don't understand the rationality of getting married so quickly unless the woman is pregnant.
A friend of mine just got married two months ago to a man she met after two months prior. He was actually married once. They're both in their early 20s.
I'm a fan, if there is love. Life is short. If you already know you want that person near you and in your life forever, then do it. What's the wait for if you already know?
One of my best friends just told me a few weeks ago that she's engaged to a guy she's known a total of 2 months...that's right, 2 months!
She says they're soul mates and that they are going to get married. I've expressed my reservations, but what can i do?
I don't see this being a permanent term commitment given the length of time they've known each other and how truly little they know about one another.....Sigh.... We'll see.
I don't have a problem with quick engagements. But in those cases the engagement should be long enough to make sure you know each other well. I support pre-marriage counseling always but especially in the case of quick engagements.
as far as the "older generation" and "look how many decades they were married", plenty of people my parents and grandparents age stayed married, for 30 and 40 and 50 years, but they were also miserable. "long marriage" has nothing whatsoever to do with "happy relationship"
I agree! My dads parents have been married for 50 years and they arent in a happy relationship. My grandpa has cheated on and occasionally physically and verbally abused my grandmother over the span of their marriage, but she has never left him. Recently my grandpa has accused my grandmother of cheating on him and he likes to say he is going to leave my grandmother. But she takes care of him and hes in failing health. He isnt going anywhere.
I have a friend who met and married her husband in two weeks and its been a few years since then and they are still together and they are happy. I think that works for very few people. I think most people want to take at least a couple of years to get to know someone before they decide they want to marry them.
