How long would you want to be engaged before marriage?



The journey down the aisle is an all-familiar one.

So, you meet someone great, fall in love with them, date for a while and as the love grows and the bond is strengthened, he gets on one knee to propose after which you both take the nuptial vows.

The distance between the first stage and the last could be as short as few months like 3 to 6 months to a couple of years like 2 to 4 years.

Therefore, How long would you want to be engaged before marriage? or how long will be too long for you?

What are you researching? Is it phd?

OP, 1-3years is okay for me, as long as we're ready in every other aspect. I strongly believe everyone knows what he or she wants in a partner,it doesn't take eternity to figure it out. Insincerity among couples is what makes long courtship ideal. If both are true to themselves, there won't be need to keep observing someone for 12yrs, hoping to discover a negative trait.

Why turn someone to lord of the rings?

In all, some people have it faster, others longer. A happy marriage should be the end result.

Like I said bro, if she is worth it.

She's got to earn me... What if she is a dummy? Or possessed with a demon? What if she has got some disabilities I can't live with? What if she's got no womb due excess abortions? Can't manage a woman for the rest of my life

I concur with your stance. With the quality of women we have these days, a sane man must take the time to do proper research on any lady he wants to get into a long term relationship with.

a way of showing your intentions towards marrying someone or promising to marry a woman. I know it comes with a period of time which has to be determined by both parties, the man most times.

this "research" what exactly is the intention and what do you want to find out?

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and you've got to do it with a quality woman. The purpose of the "research" is to find out if a woman meets your standards.

It takes time to know the details, which is why guys take their time. The article below will give you an idea of the kind of things men look for.

so you need 10 years to do this simple research?

or if she pretends and you only find out n the tenth year

will you talk another ten years?
Re: How Long Would You Want To Be Engaged Before Marriage? by Lionessza(f): 3:58pm On Jun 06, 2017
It would depend on how long we've dated before the engagement. If we had been dating for some years then I wouldnt take long to marry the guy , probably a few months. But if it's a new relationship, nope ! I wouldn't marry a guy I have known for less than a year , I need time to know someone especially for something this serious.
