    You should date them until you feel like marrying them

    Marriage is a prison for women created by men.

      isn't this the other way around? Men are the ones who don't have the natural need for commitment because they can procreate on a daily (or pretty much hourly) basis

              prison? you basically have everything. If I reckon a man can have as many wives as he can support. You live quite a luxurious life.

    2 days. I look at life in gta 4 perspective. Your date sleeps with you on the second night!

    Apparently my mom like to date men for 3 months then decide she wants to marry them. Fucking whore. But personally I think you should know that person for a year or two and then discuss marriage. Don't rush things.

    i'd say 2 years at the least. You need to make sure you can stand eachother because marriage is a big commitment. You need to get to know you're partner first, just to be sure he's not like a serial killer or somthing.

    2 years at the least... I feel like the first year you are still getting to know each other, and the year after that you have to see if you can live with the person you finally got to know and be comfortable with!

    1st year of lust, 2nd year fault finding, 3rd year bored to tears so kiss 'em goodbye.

    I think if you still want to marry 'em after 3 years and don't just drift into it, then go for it!

    My guy and I have been dating for a couple of years, but we have always known from the eariest days that we will get married.

    It's only circumstances that have prevented it from happening at this time.

    Don't get married unless you insist on littering the planet with your combined DNA.
