How long should two people be in a relationship before the idea of marriage is brought up, assuming everything is going well? How much time is necessary in order to know each other well enough to make such a decision? Any real life advice?

If marriage is what you want, than that is what you should express. If you both went into the relationship knowing that both are looking to be married, than I suggest you ask him this question. I would recommend that you live together for 6 months before you even think of it. The real person comes out when you live together, just dating it is easy to hide the real you. If he is not ready just now and wants more time that is one thing but if he does not want to move toward marriage and you do, break up, because everyday you waist with him you could be looking for the one that does want what you want. Honesty and integrity are always the way to go.

"The real person comes out when you live together,.." Yeah...discovered a lot of princesses who had a sense of entitlement.

I think it takes around a year to know if this person is right for you.

I've never been married, but I think you can't predict is he or she is the one. I don't think there is a set time table on when two should discuss it. I think it's all about how both of you are feeling on it and that the both of you feel that things are going well between you two. Hope this was helpful for you. If it was me if I was dating a girl I was crazy about, I'd definitely ask her about it

That’s a hard question. It can be discussed but I wouldn’t want to get engaged in the first year. I would like to marry again but not sure if I like the idea of being single a bit more first.

Just don’t

Cutie,

I would say 2 years or so. For most people... It takes 6 months to a year for their demons to come out... All those things that either stayed hidden or weren't noticed. You may also find that some of the things you thought were cute early on have now started to annoy you.

And you, my beautiful little flower, need to get a pre-nup signed without a doubt! 😉

you will know the right time and its not like theres any rush. in fact you don't even need to have a religious ceramoney at all.

Married for 17 years and I doubt very much I'd ever do it again. I view it as unnecessary, like a state certificate of monogamy. The romantic in me still holds out hope for true love someday.
