    When the time is right, go for it. Don't worry about what others are doing. Just make sure you know in your heart that it is right.

    6 Months, but we were both in our 30's and were both mentally and financially ready for the decision. We are going on 9 years now and our marriage is still great, even with the four girls that sometimes complicate our lives a bit. But we do have a strong spiritual background to hold us all together.

    We got engaged 9 months after we started dating, we were already living together by that point. We got married 9 months later. We've been together 22 years and married 20. Though we've had our ups and downs, we are best friends and are very much in love after all this time.

    I think it really depends on what you both want out of the relationship. We both knew we wanted to be married, but not everyone is like us. I was 25 and he was 31 when we got married.

    I met the love of my life in 2002 - he moved in WITH me just after 3 months and we have been together 10 years in August.
    We got engaged after 4 yours, and then got married during our 8th year anniversary. And this summer we celebrate our 10 year anniversary, being married 2 of those years.

    But don't worry what is "right or wrong", just do what you feel is good for your life :) and good luck!

    Just a couple months, but we knew each other for years & dated before we got together again. Now we've been together for over 6 years. We're still not married but we're happy & planning our wedding slowly, there's no need to rush things when there already great.

    I met my husband when I was 17 he was 21 we started dating in Nov. got engaged MLK weekend in Jan. and we married the day after I turned 18 in march. So enaged for a little over under two months before we got married. He is a Marine and I have met a lot of other military spouses who have only dated a few months before they got married. We have been happily married for 6 years now! (-: The funny thing is that EVERYONE thought I was pregnant when we got married!! No one could understand why else we would get married so fast. We didn't get pregnant with our first child until almost two years later.
