If 2 people that are aged around 22-24 are in a relationship & have been for around 2-3 years, is it plausible to say they’ll end up getting married?

Or is it hard to tell? Does it not really depend on age? Is it too young to decide?

I’m 24 myself & have never had a boyfriend/been in a proper relationship because unfortunately every guy I have ever wanted either didn’t like me back or just wanted sex. I’m still yet to find a guy that I like that likes me back or at least a guy that I’m attracted to that is interested in a serious relationship with me.

I have a lot of friends that are my age that are in pretty serious relationships & they met when they were around 19-21 & are still together. Some of them have broken up & gotten back together. I keep thinking that at my age it’s still too young to determine whether the person you’re dating in your early 20’s is the person you’re gonna marry, but when I see how serious my friends relationships look, I really feel like they’ve given each other everything & will never not be apart of each other’s lives. They know each other’s families, all the guys friends are following the girl, & vice versa, the girl follows the boyfriends business pages on insta & all that, so it legitimately feels like they’ll always be in each other’s lives. Or can it still break off anytime no matter how involved they got in each other’s lives?

What do you think?

I believe the number one trait that makes people want to marry you is security and stability, if you have a job, a big network of friends, are good at time management and able to function without him, you will have guys chasing you, because you are considered a high potential and low risk option for marriage and family and personal investment. Religious woman get married early because of the stereotype that religious woman are loving and ethical and pure and receptive and committed and are not ignorant or unstable in your choices and can resist a bad leader.

I think it increases their chances. I know people my age around 22 who have been in many relationships some casual others not. I know one who went from one serious relationship to another withjn a week. I know others who haven't been in any. Also my sister I think has been in a relationship for around 2-3 years and I think is 24 and recently got engaged. But I also think things can change easily, so it's so hard to determine.

I haven't ever been in one myself. No one has ever been interested in me. And sadly my parents first always asked if I was seeing a girl or interested in one. Then it went to them assuming I was gay and just hadn't told them. And following that they went onto the not everyone meets someone and that's okay. No matter what I say. That's just the tip of the iceburg.

I don't even have many friends tbh to relate to. As far as I'm aware I'm the only one who hasn't. Aside from the one who is asexual and against relationships.

It's more likely than it was after 3 weeks or 6 months. But there's no guarantee. If one of them wants to be married, they need to tell the other. Really if they were dating to find a marriage partner, they should have discussed in the first month. Some people will happily date or live together for years with no intention of marrying their partner. Often it's because they really are hoping for something different, but are afraid to be alone.

So far from what I've seen it has way less to do with how long they've been together and way more to do with the people themselves.

My cousin, was with a girl who he met mmm maybe a year or so ago. He recently proposed and they got married a couple months or so ago. I never got them their marriage gift. It's a good thing I did. They're divorcing. She's a nutjob, and he's in a lot of pain with his back. He needs a spinal tap

[RuthlessAggression]

However, they are in their 30's ish, so yes, it's not their 20's but still

Also, his brother, 40, married a 30 year old girl. They also got divorced

His sister, my girl cousin on that side. Is separated form her husband, not officially divorced yet. He doesn't want kids. She does

Don’t overthink it.

And I am here unable to understand how it's possible that men who plan to get married still exist as if there is anything in it for them. Stupid games stupid prizes.

[ZenoZoldyck]

Maybe yes but unless they are loyal and don't lie

[msc545]

Hopefully no.

[AFretiredTXn]

Not necessarily.

Why get married?
