I don't believe it because there are people who have been in long engagement and end up separated. There are those who just meet for a little while and end up marriage. So it's not a good reason to have long engagement because you are still not sure if you are meant to each other. Do you agree?

If they get seperated during a long engagement, don't you think that would be better than for them to rush into marriage and have to go through a messy divorce?

I think it depends on the couple, but I think long engagements are best. It gives you a good amount of time to plan comfortably and gives you extra time to make sure it's what you really want.

Yes, I agree but engagement and marriage are two different think. You already decide to get engage why not marry soon? Why prolong it?

I already said why.

Besides, rush marriages are usually the first to fall apart.

Hi friend don't generalized it please. marriage is not a basis that your love will last. i just believe that God all provide it for all of us. if it's really for you it's really yours. even how long or short the relationship. life has to go on. Have a nice day!

I believe in it. Sometimes you just can't get married right away because of money or other issues. Me and my boyfriend have a long engagement because of reasons like this. It isn't that we are unsure that we want to get married. We definitely want to be together and get married. I have been engaged to my boyfriend for about 4 years and we will never split up. That is an honest and true fact.


myLot reputation of 95/100. robert19ph (1848)   ranked 159 out of 29,399 in life  5 months ago

Hell _sketch_,

Getting married is a really a commitment. If you are not ready yet, it's fine. If you think you need a money to get married it's fine. But I think married is a journey that a couple should take. All the challenges and joy of married should be taken by both couple. You grow both in your married, every couple takes their own path. What would on the other, it may not work on you. So, it's a life changing experience that we should take.

Regards.

well it really depends on the couple if they don't really want to proceed to marriage yet. but for me i don't want to have a long engagement.. hahaha! if i get engaged then i would like to go down the aisle after a year to have time for the preparation for my wedding.

it is up to the couple if they will work things out during their engagement period. there are times maybe they end up separated because they get tired of waiting for each other or the time they realize that they don't really love one another.

well i hope this won't ever happen to me because i want my present to be my last and be with the person i want to send my life with.

Hello skbh12,[/i]

That's true. It depends on the couple. I wish you have a lasting relationship with your partner. Short or long engagement doesn't matter as long as you work together to keep your marriage.

Have a nice day.
