How long is a good amount of time to wait to get married?

Getting to know someone takes time, but when do you think you have more or less figured them out? You don't want to wait too long, or not wait it out long enough. What do you think?How long is a good amount of time to wait to get married?
I think it depends on the people involved! Everyone is different - some are open books, others have many layers, we all have baggage of some sort, but some baggage is harder to either deal with or open up, etc., etc. Lots of variables - times two.


I've heard the saying, ';Listen to your head, follow your heart.'; - but I think we need to make sure they are communicating! If both agree, it's a good deal. If they disagree, you need more time. Since I believe that marriage is forever, you should be sure. What seems to be ';too long'; to one person might not be enough time for another.How long is a good amount of time to wait to get married?
It all depends on how fast of a person you are. Did you go on one date a week for 4 months? Or were you with each other everyday for the past year? I think you will just know when it's that time and that you're ready. There's no hurt in waiting, it's only a piece of paper. It won't make your partner love you any more or less.
Wait for at least one year to get engaged. You should set a date at the time of engagement which would be an year or less away. That would give both of you an ample opportunity to know each other well.
I would wait at least one year before jumping into marriage. Marriage is supposed to be a lifetime commitment.
Well, if you've been dating for at least 2 years the risk of divorce significantly goes down. So, I'd say at least 2 years.
When in doubt, follow the lunar cycle (seems like a reasonable idea to me). That is one year.
Forever.
3 yrs.
64 years
I think that two years would be about right.
