How long before being engaged should you date?

Question

Hello!
How long did you and your S.O. date before they proposed? And how is your relationship now? 
Do you think a good rule of them for dating before marriage should be about a year or earlier or longer?
Just curious to see your thoughts!

Answer

For me I think you should atleast date a full yr before considering engagement I also believe you should live with your partner before engagement. You see people’s true colors when you live together. If more people did that they wouldn’t get married move in and then find out their partner is controlling and abusive but now they’re married and have to have the law involved to get out.

Answer

Im aware it is fast but it worked for us
We are in a really happy relationship

Answer

I feel like whatever your heart is telling you is what you should do. I don’t think there is a law or a rule.

Answer

My husband and I got engaged at 6 months, then married at 10 months. It was really quick to some, but it was something that we both wanted to do & did it. Five years & counting 🥰

Answer

We dated for a little less than 1.5 years before getting engaged, then planned the wedding for a little less than 1.5 years. Technically didn’t officially live together until marriage, but we were both basically living in our house for a few months prior to the wedding. Now happily married for over 6 years, and been together for 9 years this month.

Answer

4 months into our relationship he proposed! We’re getting married in January which will make it a year since we’ve been in a relationship❤️ I think it depends on the relationship and the people

Answer

We’ve been together 7 years, are expecting our first baby (yes, it was planned) and are not married or engaged. We might get married some day just to make things easier for legal reasons and taxes but aren’t rushing to do it. We have a wonderful, strong, healthy, equal relationship.

Answer

We dated for two years before getting engaged. We also lived together for 18 months which was always really important to me.
We’ve been together for 4.5 years now and there’s no wedding planned but we have two kids and we moved across the country together about 6mos ago.
