That is a tough question, because it is difficult to put time frames on relationships. It is of the utmost importance to give yourself time to know a person...to observe them in several situations...to see contradictions in thought, word, and deed...to be certain of compatability & shared values. How much time is necessary for this to occur? I really can't say, I think that is personal! I would frown on people getting married after only being together for less than 1 year. At the same time, I don't think a man has to wait 4 years or more to determine that a woman is wife material.
 
Looking at the same face...Honey where is my teeth?

Pan is correct. I chose 2 to 4. Only because to each his / her own. But one should spend some years living with one another before getting married.

I knew in my 5th year my wife was marriage material. I proposed in college. We got married five years after that. Keep te relationship flowing. Have fun. Joke and laugh together a lot. I used to tell her as soon as I figured out how to get away. I would. She never laughed at that!

I dated ten years before I married. We spent a few years in an apartment. A few years in college together, and saw each other everyday, because she lived down the street from my house. Married twenty-two years this year. Actually I count the dating time also.. so I have been strapped a longtime. :hammer: :luv: :couple:
 
:thinking: hmmm how long does it take to do a thorough credit check? :thinking: LOL jeeeees kiddin LOL

I double up with Kente & Hodee bear...and I add that I think this 2 years is a minimum on even talkin bout engagements and such... AFTA engagement...I say PRE-married time MINIMUM of a year...you got to give ya lives TIME...:read:
