how long should people date before getting married?

hard to say. I don't think you can really give a specific number.  I know someone who dated for 6 months and got married. and still happy together after several years.  And another who was dating and living with their BF for 5 years.  got married. but now divorced.

 

it's probably more important to be sure you are marrying the right person than the amount of time you know each other.

Personally, I'd want to wait at least a year; and we'd have to actually work out all our baggage and seriously discuss things before moving forward, but everyone's case is different.

At least 2yrs. You don't really get to know a person in a few months of dating. Plus, I feel like the first yr would be when one acts his/her best. More than that would be when the person has the mindset of dating to get married.

 

But I think age is more important rather than how long the dating period is.

For me, I would want to date for three years. Also, I would want to live together for a year before we get married. But, it really depends on the relationship.

Minimum of one year. I know of couples that were together months before marrying and made it longer than those together for a year or several years. But I still think waiting at least a year is best. Unless you have a very good reason to marry before then one year mark, why rush it?

All of you guys have some good answers. I've never really thought about this question before. I think you and your date should be financially stable first to even think about marriage. Of course, you must strengthen your relationship with each other by knowing everything about each other as well, but if they're the best person in the world and y'all are living together but he/she can't help pay for the living expenses at an apartment/house, I think you should probably reconsider your options until he/she gets a job that can help pay. Otherwise, if you both are financially stable, let's say right around when you first start dating, I'd give about 2-3 years before marriage to figure out who and how he/she is.

i would say at least 3 years normally but it really depends on the couple. also that you lived together for some time and is both financially stable 

 

my sister and her husband got married within a year of dating but she seems happy and the guy is nice compared to all the other guys she dated

Really depends on a whole bunch of factors.  I think the older you are and the more experience you have dating in general, the less time you really need to know if this person is the one or not.
