What do you think a 'good' minimum is?

Is there a 'minimum' even or do you know right away? Or can you?

when you can take a dump in front of one another comfortably. then you know you're golden like a shower

i don't think it really has to do with how long you're together, but more about if you're both in a time in your life when you can handle marriage. like: two high school seniors that have been together for 5 years are no where near ready for marriage, especially if they plan to go to college (there are exceptions, but in general it doesn't work)....but two thirty year olds that have stable jobs and such could be ready after 2 years together.

good point

There is no "minimum." Marriage should be for life, not as a temporary thing or because "well damn I got her pregnant and my parents made me."

It depends on the people involved. I know people who have been dating for years and never get married. My sister in law is like that. She has been with the same guy for 20 years.

My father married his current wife after dating her for 3 or 4 months. This happened the same year his first wife (my mother) died.

My rule is simple, if you start getting the desire to sleep with your partner than its time to consider marriage.

True. I think ones age is definately a factor here. If you are not through with college or do not have a good career, than forget marriage.

I think at least 5-6 months, but preferrably longer.

Things may work out and you may know a person in shorter time, but you don't know their tendencies or how they act in specific situations...

It all depends on the couple, I suppose.

An old friend of mine just got engaged in July, getting married next July after only going out with his girlfriend for 2 years.

Another friend got married this past July after going out with his girlfriend for 7 years.

Ive been going out with my girlfriend for 3 years, we probably wont get married for at least another 2.

You apparently don't know caridad very well.

no minimums IMO. We waited almost 4 years

Hmm, minimums, shinimums, my grandparents knew each other two weeks, got hitched, and have been together for over 50 years now.

I'd known Jay for about a month then we moved in together ...then got married the following summer, so it was about almost a year...

Nice sig Dawn, you should ask Ladony where it came from ;).

As long as it takes. :|

No man can calculate for another man when it is right or wrong to marry. Not a parent or guardian or friend.

It is truly a divine institution.

Viva La Individualism!

Hmm, I'm not sure the length of the relationship matters - I was with my ex for years and we got a divorce - I was with Harry for 3 months before we moved in together *and we lived happily ever after* :D

I think it's more the quality of the relationship maybe? Who knows - it's one of life's great mysteries I guess!

I believe you should be with a person long enough to see them at their worst. If the worst they will be is not enough to make you stop loving them, you're ok.

8 years or so, for me at least *shrug*

To get us:

A) Sick

B) Aruosed

C) All of the above

I've been with my partner for coming up to 3 months now. Hes gonna be moving in in January so we will have been together about 4 months.

We've already spoken about getting married and having kids.

Maybe to some ppl that sounds like were taking things very fast, and if I wasnt involved I'd probably think the same, but for us it feels right. And its what makes us happy. :)
