Default The right time for marriage

I think so many people get married before they should. Not saying there's an exact right time, but if you JUST met someone, it's pretty fair to say that it's too soon. I think people should marry when they have known someone for quite some time, and have also experienced living with them for a while as well. When I say "a while", that really depends, but I would go for at LEAST a year. If you can't stand someone after a year, then you know it's not right. Wait until you don't have a question in your mind, because you have the rest of your life to get married. Why rush it?

I agree with you but there are some times where you feel that even though you've only known the person for a short while, they are absolutely for you. This is what happened with my current husband - as soon as we met, we both knew that that was it. We married very shortly and it has been nothing but bliss since then. I am a very cautious person by nature, but I knew I didn't have to worry this time around. I guess it all depends on what your instincts are telling you to do...

That's awesome That's like me and my current bf. I'm not ready for marriage, but I could totally see it happening with him. I've never met anyone in my life who is so loving and open minded. Even if we argue, (which you can barely even call it that lol) it's not a huge deal and we're over it so fast. It's always nice to hear that there are good relationships out there.. the media always seems to show the bad, and it makes relationships an intimidating thing.

That's great that you've both found someone that you care so much about. Still, I think it's important to get to know a person thoroughly before marriage. If you really like each other that much, just think how much fun it will be going on all those dates and spending time together.

I think people go into marriage far too easily. I don't think there is ever a right time to do it, nor should anyone feel pressured into in by friends or family members.

They say that to truly get to know someone you have to live with them. i lived with my partner for three years before we tied the knot.

Haha I learned that with my ex. I mean, sure we moved in too quickly, but a living situation isn't as permanent as marriage. I moved out, and that was it. I can't imagine what it would have been like if we had been married OMG!!!! I've lived with my current bf a few months, and I haven't had any doubts at all. With my ex, I knew pretty much right away that he drove me nuts lol. Some personalities just clash..

So you use moving in together as a test of what married life would be like? That's interesting. I don't know if I could move in with a person that early. And I know that I wouldn't be comfortable moving in with anyone. I had some bad experiences with most of my roommates in the past, so I'm completely against living with another person.
