every relationship is different.
i wouldnt put a time limit on it... i dont think i would ever get engaged to someone i had dated for less than a year... or get married til i was fully established and ready to settle the amount of time you date means nothing. it all depends if the two individuals are ready for it. edit: i cant spell Last edited by *STARFISH*; Sep 10, 03 at 09:37 AM. |

marrying someone before you're 25 is fuckin stupid....people change so much between the ages of 18-25 you'll probably grow up into completely different people with different priorities or even perspectives on life.
marrying soley for love is also foolish...marriage is so much more then just love, its buisness relationship. you have to have similar goals and values so to prevent conflict later on in the relationship i could never see myself marrying someone that i didn't feel i could spend the rest of my life with. |

Personaly, unless you're 25+ marriage is just a big waste of money / paperwork. (with the exception of really religious people who find it inappropriate to have sex/live with someone before marriage)
You don't need to be married to love someone, and you not going to love someone more just because you have a piece of paper that says you're married. |

Thanks Alkatraz....
I agree with you. I'm Married, For religious reasons. I love my wife and we were married when I was 19 and she was 18. Because of our background it works out great. Back to Alkatraz. He's right it can be a big waste of time and money and you don't have to be married in this world to love someone....Look around you there are fewer marriages and it is so excepted to be commonlaw now. ( Obviously I would consider this wrong due to my beliefs but that doesn't come into play here...unless your beliefs are mine.) As regard to time..... I was engaged for a year and dated my girl for three before we got married.....My twin brother has met his Fiance was dating her for a month and is marrying her in two. He'll have know her for 5 months when they tie the knot. I told Tristan the same thing I will tell you. Marriage will work as long as both of you put the other before yourself....this has to work both ways. You cannot make it work by yourself and neither can he. As long as you are both mature enough to understand the seriousness of Matrimony (only serious if it is holy matrimony. you understand that God hates a Divorcing)then the marriage wil last...through good and bad. On the other hand if your not religious at all and are really liking the idea of getting married. Go for it....And if it doesn't work out divorce because it shouldn't make a difference either way if you don't care. It's like going steady and then breaking up. But if this is the way you think then Don't get married at all....Go steady and if you don' tlike it Break up. Man there are too many variables...It all depends on what you believe in and who your are. Marriage has more to do with values than with Love. |

No one can really answer that question for you - because like most things for everyone it is different
I personally believe engagment anytime is fine ( i like the idea of a long engagement) - but believe that marriage should wait til after 25 or whatever magic number it is when you have moved out - established yourself , have goals in mind, a path to them - a partner who supports you and has their own head on straight marriage is just a legality - you can promise your heart at any age and jewlery only has the significance that you assign it :) but legal stuff can be messy - so never allow emotion alone to make that choice for you. |

Anyway... there are over 2.4 billion men on the planet and you are 18. Don't you think spending a bit more time finding out if whomever you think of spending the rest of your life with is the right guy? As I said before... I have a hard enough time choosing a cereal in the morning. |

and to futher my voice of 'doom and gloom'... if this

The definition of marriage has greatly been changed in our generation. It's becoming more and more something that is based on principle, rather than tradition. I guess that can be fairly dooming to some people. ouch. |
