Is it typically bad when things move fast in a relationship and you feel as if you've known your partnerfor a long time?

Poll, just wondering... The idea popped into my head when i was watching Married By America. AND i've been through it, and things definitely didn't turn out well.

Just getting over a 2 year relationship that was bad from the start... and we went faster than lightning. I'd say slow down and get to know each other more before moving forward too fast.

Reading this thread reminded me of a piecw I read on yahoo.com news. People feel about the same way after marriage as before. Meaning if you felt good about yourself before your marriage then afterwards you will feel good about yourself. People who were looking to marriage as an answer for happiness would probably be disappointed.

I would say your title would be more about lust then love. It is hard to slow down, but I think it is the better route. Some people don't get to really know their partner until years after their marriage (I don't have an actual reputable source, but have heard it from a few married friends). Sometimes when they really find out who the other person is they really don't like them or find incompatiabilities. Relationships also change over time as the people in it changes. Sometimes the grow apart etc. I guess most people know this stuff. I just felt like sharing my thoughts.

Depends on how well you really know your partner and how developed your sense of communication is. Once that initial obsession wears off, then you'll see whether your "made for one another" or not.
