For me, there is no specific time frame as to whether a couple should get to know each other and then get married. I have a family friend who knew his wife when they are at the age of 15 and only got married at the age of 30. I have a friend who left her boyfriend of 8 years and married her husband whom she knew for 3 years. I have another friend who is even fantastic, she knew and married her husband in only 6 months times. All of the 3 couples are happily living together till today . They said the only thing that brings them together is “ Sincere Love” !

I think less than 1 year is short; more than 3 year is long. 2 year is good.

I agree, unless they are frequently together, maybe 1 year.

I do not think that there is a time limit for it. i do belive that some people are easier to get to know than others...
I have seen marriages where the people knew eachother for just a month and they are still going strong .. it depends on the people!

Knowing each other(partners)is a continuous process even after your married. The most important thing really is there should be love and respect between the two for the marriage to last long.

I think it is a good idea to be with eachother at least 2 years. But, it depends on how often they are seeing eachother. If every day, maybe a year.

I think you can only know your partner that much when you start living together. Because when u open your eyes he's the first person that you will see, and you share expenses, problem etc...

well i say it doesn't matter how long!
some couples are married in a year, others after 10 years!
i think when the feeling is right, there are no secrets, and you can share everything with your partner go for it!
some people changes when they are married, and i mean the bad ones!

One year is more than enough for them to really know each other very well, that is assuming they have a constant communications if they live not on same community. Usually,
phone calls can mitigate any shortcomings in the absence
of a regular dates.

I think one or two year's good. It's enough to get to know each other, the families and the relatives, and of course for the wedding preparation. More than 2 year will only wasting our time. Cheers!

I think it is not same to diffrent ones.Some are not good at talking,some can't often meet because of living in diffrent city,one of couplesoften lies about himself/herself,these make them not to know each other.
