Is it possible for two people to marry after knowing each other for 2/3 months?

Like does that actually happen?

what’s more common or plausible, getting married within months of knowing each other because you think they’re the one and are crazy for each other OR because the girl got pregnant and under obligation? Which one is more common?

It's certainly possible. My parents got married less than 4 months after their first date (with no pregnancy) and stayed together.

I think it's very risky though. It's not possible to know someone well enough that quickly to really be sure that you're a good match and can be happy together for life. I've been in a few relationships where everything seemed great for the first few months or even a year or two before serious deal breaker issues were discovered.

I think that dating for at least 2 and preferably 3 years including living together for 9-12 months is much safer in terms of being sure that you're compatible enough to make a lifetime commitment.

It's certainly possible. I think it's more reasonable after people are of a certain age and are more able to judge character.

It's certainly possible but is it practical? not really. You don't really know the person well enough in 2 to 3 months in most cases to really say you should get married.

Look at that show Married at First Sight. The divorce rate on that show is pretty high.

It’s possible but I think it rarely works out good

I knew my husband for 6wks, before we married. 12yrs later still going strong. Go with your heart not your head 😊

Sorry I read your question wrong, we got married because we were and still are madly in love with each other. He’s the best thing to ever happen to me 😊

I guess stranger things have been known to happen!

Yeah. In the mormon culture. A lot of them get divorced or carry on in abusive environments.
