How long do you think two people should date in order to get married?

2 years +

i say get drunk and go ta vegas and get married in less than 2 days at least that way u start ur marriage off right....drunk haha

It really depends.
I think 2yrs+ (:

i dont think there should be a specific amount of time you need to date before getting married. however long it takes you to realize you truly love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them.

2 yrs

Five years. Absolute minimum. Probably even ten years minimum.

at least a year.

i've seen couples who dated for just a month (sometimes they barely even knew each other) who got married.

most of them had very messy dramatic divorces.

My sister is getting married and shes only been with her fiancee for a year, and he's been overseas most of the time with the military, but it's pretty obvious they only have eyes for each other and she's had boyfriends before who I just knew were douche bags deep down, and this guy she's with now is just like my brother. I think it all depends on the person, some people need more time, others can make the decision sooner.

Anybody who said less then a year has probably not been in a long term relationship.

I think you need a year or 2 but much more than that and you are avoiding the issue.

anything less than 2 years is bound to fail.

when you are both ready

There's no set timetable, per se.

As long as it takes to make the final decision.

forever.

after forever is over then get married.

The most accurate article Ive ever read explained that 2 and a half years is a good minimum for getting to know how you will work with someone in the long term. But really its more invididual than that, some couples never feel the need to have their union validated by the state.

Still, Id want the benefits that come along with marriage at some point in the future. Hospital visits and all that.

I think about 3 years, although Ive been with my boyfriend for like nearly 4 years and he still doesnt want to marry me it makes me oh so sad :(

id wait 7 years minimum

At first sight.

5 minutes.

Me and my husband dated a year before we got married, and then four months into our marriage I got pregnant and we only have 8 weeks until our son gets here. ^_^

more or less one year!

It depends really. You should wait a while, but some people just click right away and it works for them.

at least four

purdyy much,
forever :)

2-7 months

my cousin dated only 10 months and they have three kids how and live happily for already almost 10 years.. i think it depends on the personality. if ppl want to settle, itll work out anyway

According to the divorce rate, probably not marrying is best in order to avoid child support and alimony.
