How soon is too soon?

I was thinking about this the other day, and I'd like y'all's opinions: How son is too soon to marry? What I mean is, how long should two people know each other before they take the plunge? Does that time period change when there are children involved? Are there certain checkpoints to pass? The reason I ask is that it seems all of my childhood friends are getting engaged all of a sudden. Some rather quickly to people they've not known very long at all. Blessed Be

When two individuals are mature enough to face responsibility and must be strong enough to accept and understand challenges in life, then they are now ready to marry. When children arrive in a couple's lives, if they love each other, then children can add to their happiness and bonding. If the couple has not yet reached the maturity, anyone of them will compete for the attention, which are given to the children and quarrels will be present in their lives.

Lol, sorry I didn't make this clearer, but I'm posing this question under the assumption that the two adults involved are already mature enough for such a committment and the child(ren) belong to one or the other, but not both. Blessed Be
