How long should you date before marriage?

Question

Answer

My husband and I got engaged after 3 months of dating. August 16th we will be celebrating 9 years of marriage. It does help us at the fact we were friends since 6th grade.

Answer

Honestly I don’t see a reason to wait years to get married. Especially since I’m waiting for marriage. I’m not about to torture my man for years!

Answer

I think it depends on the age of the couple, how long they knew each other before, and their maturity (spiritually, financially, mentally). But most of the time I don't think it's necessarily responsible as a Christian to date for years. It brings too many temptations.

Answer

Engaged after three years of dating, got married two years, a month, and a day after we got engaged, and we’ve been married for 8 years! We’ve been together for almost 13.5 years!

Answer

Personally, I won't get engaged to someone that I haven't been dating at least 5 years. I'm Catholic so there is no divorce in my church and faith. I get one shot at it and I feel that after 3 years it's just not quite enough time. I knew I was going to marry my now fiance when we'd been together for under a year, but there was so much we needed to learn about each other first. I've always said I wanted 5 years prior to an engagement and that really felt right for me.
