How long do you think a couple should wait before marriage?

Question

I mean before one of them proposes just in case you’re confused
Just a, well I don't know if it’s fun or not, fact for you, 42% of marriages in England and Wales end in divorce so maybe some of those people should have waited a bit longer to see if they were really right for each other. I don't know I’m just trying to make it relevant.

Hmm well in Vegas people who are wasted get married like right after they meet at a casino. Others wait 10 years till they even think about just moving in together. It all depends for them. But personally I think if you know almost everything about them and love them and trust them completely then that's an ideal time to propose

I think it should be whenever they want, but my suggestions would be at least two years, 4 years is probably pretty good, and maybe 6 to 8 years is safe lol.

But I'm just guessing, really.

Easy for a man to say. We have a reproductive clock and no eggs are going to wait that long once you’re my age lol. Pretty unrealistic.

Depends on the couple, but I think it's fair to say they should wait a bare minimum of at least 7 or 8 months. I also think that if you're seriously dating you should know whether or not you want to get married to someone by at least 2 years. Everything in between is very subjective to the couple.

sorry... it is hard to wait because, Lust is... bla bla bla... it is much better to wait, a year may not even be long enough to get to know the "Real" person. some people are great at hiding their true face

At 14, another 11 years lol. But in general, you should get to know each other for at least 2 years minimum. It takes time to really get to know them. Some things only come with time.

I don't even think there is a point of it. Anyone can just be loving couples without marriage and doesn't have to include the government in their life
