Met when I was 19 and he was 22
Moved in properly 2 years later (we did long distance for those 2 years)
Bought house after 5 years
Got engaged after 6 years
Don't rush it. And don't rush him. Sometimes they just need to adjust to the idea that they are really adults now. Don't pressure him and if you have a good relationship built on love and common wants in life then it'll work out beautifully.0 -

About a month- but ours was a friendship that caught fire. Once we got together, there was nothing to stop it. We were married 7 months later, and have been married 13 years with 4 kids.0

About 3 or 4 years, and we didn't get married until about 3 years after that.
This quote from someone else in the thread sums it up though: "Remember, the only thing that changes is a title, you're still the same people and share the same love." <-- so true

4 months. Married 2 months later.
For us it was a case of 'when it's right, you know' - though I think you need to have experienced a few that were 'wrong' before you can judge this.
Married for ten years next month and it's been 100% a great partnership and supremely happy union
Like this person ^ stated when it's right, you know. And again, you need to experience a few that are wrong before you can judge this.
With that said, this is my second marriage. My first marriage, I had known my ex for about a year when we got hitched. Fast forward about 3 years later and I find out he was cheating on me - so I left.
About 4 years after we divorced, I met my current husband. Our first date was May 16th, 2011. We have been inseparable since. I moved in with him in August. We were engaged in September. And we got married March 31st.0 -
We started dating August 5th 2008 and were married August 15th 2009 :blushing:0

4 months but I was 39 & he was 44. Got married 1 year from the day we met.0

6 months! But I think my husband was whispering to hid mom after about 3 or 4 months! She must have looked at him crazy because I know I would if a friend told me they were wanting to marry someone after just a few months. I guess he knew something I didn't because we are working on 11 years of marriage now.0

2 months engaged Married 4 months Later. You know when it's right and it is different for everyone.
Still happly married 13 years later:happy:0 -
We've been together for nearly 5 years (living together for 3) and not engaged. It's probably on the cards within the next year but I'm in no hurry. I can't see how being married will make the slightest difference in our relationship (other than costing a lot of money we can't afford/I would rather spend on other things).0

2 years. We had been living together for 1 year.0

lets see I met my husband Dec. 11 1999 I asked him to marry me that new years eve (he said yes) we got married August 12 2000..and we are still happily married
i think fast moving is fairly common in military relationships. why put off til tomorrow what you can do today?
I'm glad this isn't just me! My husband was National Guard when we met and about 2 months into the relationship he got orders to be deployed to Afganistan. We figured we would get married before he left, two months later the deployment order got cancelled. After 6 months being together total and my willingness to stick with him through a deployment made him propose.0 -
We were together 6 years before we got engaged and then another 4 until we got married. We've now been married 4 years.
I also felt like it was taking forever and gave all the hints and looked at rings but he said he didn't want to feel pressured and he wanted it to be a surprise so that delayed things quite a bit (because I talked about it all the time - lol). I wouldn't worry about it as long as you're happy together.0 -
9+yrs and counting.......
I was 17, he was 19, we were living together since day1... literally... and pregnant 3 months after we met...
Our son just turned 8 in April, still not married/engaged.... but trying for another baby.... : )0 -
My DH proposed after about 3 months. I made him wait for 2 years after. My divorce was not final when I met him and I was really gun shy. He waited and he has proved himself to me over and over for 30 years now.0

My husband and I were together 2 years before he proposed.
I was 15(sophmore) and he was 17(senior) when we first got together.
He proposed to me in January of my Senior year in highschool. We were engaged for 6 month.
I graduated on May 27th and got married on June 30th. I was 17 and he was 20.
We will celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary this Saturday!!0
