How long you been in a relationship before you get married?

me and my husband was in relationship for less than a month..I know its crazy..and theres a lot of question always..lol well we dont really know each other.. we just met that day.. and maybe it was love at first sight... (I know it was lol) and after that day we never parted..haha.. and when he proposed to me he told me " know you might think Im crazy because I wanna marry you".and belive me I didnt even had a second thought" I just answered "I think i am crzy too coz Im willing to marry u:P" as for now were almost married for almost 5years:) we still dont wanna have a baby..and keeping for our future and travels... I can still say we still have the magic.. Even when we fight we never heard each other regretting why we got married:P Sometimes how long youve been together doesnt really matter.. its what you guys been through... or sometimes there are others whove been together for what 5-10years but leads to divorce... hhmmmm I dont know..but of course Im not advising everybody to get married without knowing each other! of course atleast take time to know each other... I am just brave and I got a special case:P

I had an arranged marriage though the choice was mine and my husband and I got to meet each other and decide if we were right for each other. I'd rather say the family facilitated the marriage. But my parents were in love (for how long I have no idea) and that's how they got married.So, for me it's the opposite...lol My parents were in a relationship and got married while I decided to go the traditional way!

I was in my relationship about 2 years before we got married. I think this was good because we really got to know more about each other and are still together after 25 years. I have been married before and am now divorced and don't have any children with my wife - it just never happened for us. _Derek

Time changes. As you said, in old time, the couples may don't in a relationship before marriage. You know, in ancient china, it is very common that the two people don't meet before their marriage. Their marriage is set by their parents. If two parents agree with the marriage, then their kids must obey. So they begin in a relationship after marriage. And now, many teenage become parents before they get married. I don't think it is good for them and for the society. Though completely not know each other before marriage is not good, but too open on relationship is not good either. I think the shortest period in relationship before marriage is half a year. It will be better if it is longer. Anyway, we are looking for our life partners, so we should be careful. And knowing a person's true face needs time.

I was in a relationship for 4 years and I didn't get married and it's a very, very good thing I didn't. There's no set amount of time for getting married or even for getting engaged and even once there is an engagement, you can keep it that way for as long as you want. I think it just depends on the individuals in the relationship and the relationship itself.

Hubby and I were friends for a year and both of us were engaged to someone else when we met. Both of our partners were abusive and I turned to him for help in moving out of the apartment that I lived in with my fiance. He helped me move everything and set up my new apartment then we started dating. We were married six months later. We have been married eight years and have a special little boy that is eight years old. It was rough on us in the beginning because we lost everything. We lost our jobs, then our house and our car so we had to start completely over. I think it made us stronger though.

I was in a relationship with my husband for 3 years before we got married. We'll be celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary next month. Happy mylotting!

My husband and I were in a relationship for two and a half years before we made things official and got married. I knew from the time that we met each other that we were going to eventually be married, but we wanted to wait until we were in a position that we could afford the responsibilies that were required to be married. We actually already had a daughter together before we were married, but we didn't rush into marriage because we already had a child.

I'm with my fiancée for 6 years and were planning to get married on 2012. I also think that before I get myself pregnant, I'd rather do it when I'm ready and doesn't have anything to be worried about since I've already took care of everything.

How old are you daiweian? I presume your very young to talk over this matter. Well, maybe you are curious about occurrences which are very far from what we expect. Yes, life before was different from now but it doesn't mean we lose our morale or should lose it. It's good to hear that you don't want to have baby first before marrying someone. Maybe you wanted to be sure with the right guy. But it doesn't mean too that if you have the baby you have to get marry with , it's absolutely not. Yes, having baby is not good to look at but more it will be if we build families without love.

My husband and I knew each other for almost 10 years and our relationship before was an on and off relationship. If i would compute it, its almost three years of being sweethearts before we decided to tie the knot. I didn't knew why we kept on falling into each others arms before, maybe we're really meant for each other. Right now we're already in our 7 years of togetherness, with one daughter and another one, soon to come. I think, its important to knew the person first before entering into marriage because believe it or not, though you knew one person for a long time, you will still have something to discover about him when you're already together in one dwelling, pray a lot so that our dear God will lead you to someone especially created for you. HAve a nice day ahead!

well ive never been married but was with my ex for 12 and a half years. the best thing i did was leave him 3 and a half years ago. i would like to find someone that will treat me and talk to me so much better than my ex, then i will be happy

i follow your parents style :) my mon told me about the girl and i was knowing her borhter and respect him so much. than i travel to study and came in semster break and get married and return with her to finish my study abroad i think it is not very intersting story isn't it :)

Me and my husband is in a relationship for almost 3 years before we get married.. we are 3 years in our marriage life.We already have 1 yr old daughter. Unfortunately he is gone a month ago...It hurts...its unexpected....I missed him so much.....Maybe God has a better plan for me... I'm thankful that he left me with a beautiful daughter...Someday I can let go and move on....

I've been dating my current girlfriend for over two years and I have never been this happy in a relationship. I would have to say that I've never felt more positive about this lady being the one towards any other person. I would have to say she's easily the most compatible partner that I could probably have and I can't really see my life without her now. I only hope that in the years to come I can somehow find a more stable way of providing myself financial success. Right now there are just so many things that I want to give to her, like a house, a garden of our own, a farm, a family, and plenty of other things as well. Unfortunately I don't really have all the means or resources for that yet so in the back of my mind there's always that keeping me motivated to evolve and move on for the better. I look forward to someday having a family with my beautiful woman and probably as soon as I can afford a worthy wedding experience and I can afford for us to have our own house I would be more then ecstatic to pop the question :)

For me I been almost a year in relationship before married.

Olden day marriages were always pre-arranged. They were not just like that consummated. The parents of both the boy and girl used to make thorough enquiries about the family status, individual character, education etc. etc. Indian hindu marriages also consider the horoscopes to play a vital part in a marriage. Naturally, families formed, true to the every spirit of the word. Failure in such marriages were very rare. Now, you bear the child of your boy-friend caused by mere infatuation and flush lust. All those statements " you and me understand each other and marry" prove to be empty in several love marriages. The rate of Divorce has increased manifold. Tell me, which one you prefer to. May be you are mature enough to chose your partner, but at the end, if it lasts long, well and good. Otherwise, you have to turn back to your so-called Conservatives' marriage only.

Yes you are right. Not to have baby before your marriage. In my country, whoever deliver their baby before their marriage registration, the baby will have a big trouble in considering as a citizen of this country. For the good of our next generation, we must try not to violate the rules here. As such, the cases of having babies before their marriage can be reduced. On the other hand, there might be more cases of abandoning babies too. ha! ha! ha! Understanding well to each other before our marriage is very importance. We never want to regret or divorce after our marriage. Divorce can have a lot of negative impact to our children and the society too. In my case, I knew my wife and got married after two years. Obligation and commitment are the priority of our marriage.

My husband and i were bf & gf for 4 years before we got married. We have enjoyed going outs by ourselves and having fun with our friends during those times. We have broken up and reconciled twice and when we felt that we can't have a single day away from each other and is already stable, we decided to get married. It's nice to get married when you have known each other for quite sometime. At least you more or less knew each other's likes and dislikes before you tie the knot. Have a nice day!

2 years for my wife. . we had problem but its ok for us.. girl support ur family . and get ready for ur future . ok ./
