How long have you dated your husband/wife before marriage?

[LOLyourFace]

There are full range of differences:

*growing up together as friends, in and out of each other's life then marriage
*steady relationship for couple years then marriage
*my parents got married after one year.

i would want to know her well enough before i get married.

personally i would want to marry my friends from high school, but since that wont happen.. I will tell you when I do meet a girl worth marrying..

 

[waggy]

so 5 years. its been great so far!

It's good to take time to get to know each other but when you start getting up there in age it's best not to wait too long or you risk becoming the "dearly departed"

 

[dum]

not married yet, but we've been together since november 11, 1995.
so 7 years in about 3 weeks.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Sounds like you got a good deal.

Met my wife at the end of August and we were married the following April. After meeting our initial "dating" took place via snail mail since she lived in Montreal and I lived in Virginia. There were a lot of folks that thought our marriage would not last since we got married so quickly but it has lasted 17 years to date.

 

[Quixfire]

I married my wife after 2 1/2 years of dating, we going on ten years in our marriage.

 

[amnesiac]

Been wtih my g/f for 2 months now, I'd marry her now if I could.. but we're gonna wait till she's out of school (~2 years).

LOL Nope.

Actually I didn't turn into a Ferengi until 1999 when I joined the cult, so I was normal for 3 years while she knew me.

Now she rolls her eyes whenever I say, come on hon we gotta go to Staples, OfficeMax, OfficeDepot AND CostCo!

 

[notfred]

over 3 years so far, but not married yet.

 

[Parrotheader]

We started officially dating in Jan. '94 and were married in Sept. '99.

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

Started dating Christmas 1995, married April 2001.

 

[Deeko]

I've been with my girl for almost a year now. Too young to get married.

My parents dated for 3 months before they got engaged, were married after 11 months.

 

[dirtboy]

I dated her a year before we got married and then I married her for two years before we got divorced.

 

[Grasshopper27]

Dating Thumper for 7 months now, in 4 months plan to ask her to move in with me (her lease is up then)...

If in another year or so we're still together, I'll ask her to marry me.

(don't anyone tell her, ok?)

Wow! Did I already say, that's pretty fast! Damn! LOL!

Well, speaking of marriage . . . I dated my man for like 3 years and then we got married. GeeZ! I'm just kidding.

The thought of marriage freaks me out. It won't be happening anytime soon. It sounds exciting at first, but it sends a chill down my spine when I think of commitment for the rest of my life. Unlike a typical woman, I'm afraid my man would be begging me to marry him, not I begging him. I'm sure things will eventually change. Maybe as I grow older my perspective will start to change, but it ain't happening anytime soon.
