Does Courtship Duration Guarantee Successful Marriage? by Esthersblog(f): 2:43pm On Nov 10, 2015
I was talking to someone a few days back, and she said meeting someone for the first time and getting married within 3 to 6 months is a short time, and such marriages do not last because they do not know themselves well enough, and also said courtship should be from 1 year to 3 years before marriage. I couldn’t agree more/less at the same time, because I think it depends on the people involved and the relationship they share. You can meet someone, and you know, it just clicks…

I know of a lady who got married five weeks after meeting her husband, and they have been happily married for four years, there are others who have been together for longer periods and the marriage didn’t last. From a few people asked, majority of them said between 6 to 12 months and if taking the relationship to the next level is not having a direction after 12 months, then questions should start popping up.

One thing I am sure of is, you really can’t know someone completely no matter how much time you spend together, you can only tell to a large extent about the person. As we grow older, we tend to see life differently and that is because we change throughout our lives; either in our perception about life based on experiences, our way of thinking, focus, direction, lifestyle, family, kids, money, and the likes of it.

I have been asked a few times, how long should one court before deciding to get married, my answer always is, I do not have a time frame, you would know when you are ready.

If time is one of the most important factors to know your partner completely before deciding when to get married. When do you think is the best time period to date/court?

yes and No.If two people are compatible , even if they date for 2 hours, it'll still work out.

Yeah, there seems to be no definite answer.

Absolutely NO!
It is not how far, but how well.
Ever wondered why misunderstanding still comes up between couples who have been married for years? Fact is, humans are unpredictable and are also bound to make mistakes. Handling the issue with maturity and understanding is all that matters. Presently, a friend is married to the man she courted for just 3weeks. Meanwhile, same man was in a previous courtship of 10years which didn't end up as marriage. This only takes the Grace of God and the partners involved. Duration of courtship matters not.

Affirmative. The husband couldn't get over the shock even after he got married. He had pictures of the ex in his safe. And one day, something happened which changed the whole story.

That fateful day, the wife threatened to kill herself and her unborn baby. He couldn't stand the chance of loosing them both, and so he promised to get over the old memories. In taking the first step, he personally tore the ex's pictures to pieces and threw them in the thrash bin. And they lived happily ever after.
