When should you get married with your other without making it look too soon?

Question

when you have been with your other half for some time, when do you know it's right time for both to get married without making it look too soon?

Answer 1

when the time is right for both the parties to decide upon it.

Answer 2

I don't think there is a set time line.  I'm thinking, you go for it  when you know it's right!!

Answer 3

What's going to look like "too soon" will differ greatly depending on your family and social circle.  I was with my husband for six years and we were 29 and 30, and it still would have seemed too soon to my family since we hadn't gotten to live together yet. On the other hand, his cousin was married at the age of 17 to a boyfriend of a few months and that seemed completely normal and not "too soon" for his family.  If you want to know what will seem okay to people, look at what the rest of your friends and family are doing.

As far as the statistics are concerned, you should wait until the girl is at least 23 years old and you have been together for at least two years to maximize your chances.

Answer 4

I was ready to `live together` after 9 month of dating, it took my husband 2 months longer to ask me to marry him and to move in.  We were married exactly 8 months after that.

I suppose you know when the time is right and when you have met the right person.  We are also in our late 30s and early 40s so probably have more experience of meeting the wrong type of person so knew when we had met the right one.

I don`t think anyone can tell you when it is too soon or when the time is right.  you will know.

Answer 5

Friendly who is to say what too soon is?  Only you and your significant other can say when is right and who really gives a d**n what anyone else has to say?  So what if it seems too soon to them?  Its not about them.  Get married when your hearts tell you to and s***w the world, remember when its the two of you together, its TWO against the WORLD.  

Answer 6

If you're worried about what others will think, you're not ready to get married.

Answer 7

It is never too soon.  My husband and I dated for 6 months.  We went to Cancun for his daughters wedding.  We got swept up in the love thing and decided when we got back to the US, we were going to get married.  It took almost 2 weeks later due to his job, but we went to a JP and are deliriously happy to this very day.  There is no time table for getting married.  Just do it when you know it is time.

Answer 8

you will both know when the time is right and you don't need to worry about it being too soon... if you divorce then you know you should have waited and thats the game of life... no one knows exactly when the right time is.. we are not psychics and its just hit or miss

Answer 9

It sounds so clinical, but to get the odds in your favor as much as possible go to the source below. Do what is needed to get things favorable. There are still things that are hard to measure. This includes respect for the institution and determination to get the marriage to work.

Good luck!
