I reckon when they're ready aswell. But yeah I'd give a minimum of say 6 months, personally.

The poor woman has my sympathies ;) Congrats Alan!

I don't think there's a strict timeframe, but a couple should only get married when they are comfortable with each other.

I think it depens on the couple when they feel ready to get married, I agree that couples should live together for about 6 months or a year before but some couples may be traditional and not wish to.

Gongratulations to Alan and Mrs 45 hope you both have many happy years together. Tell her from me Alan she would have got less for murder :lol:

NEVER SAY NEVER. You dont know whats around the corner. Maybe the perfect man who will want the whole marriage thing.

i dont think it matters how long you know each other/live together as long as it feels right.

Totally agree, i dont really think it matters when a couple decides to get married, as long as they are both in love i think they should get married whenever they choose.

i dont think theres a set time, like what most people think. Its down to the individual.

Usually people ive known they have waited a year.

im not sure how long it should be but people should definitely take time to get to know each other first as too many people rush in without knowing each other properly and then the marriage breaks down, celebs are always doing this.

I think it depends on the people I know people who were together for five years before getting married and their marriage only lasted six months but my parents had only been together four months before my dad proposed and they've been together nearly seventeen years so everyone's different

I really think it is down,to the individual couples,but living together is a good idea,things are often differant,once your toothbrushses are side by side in the bathroom, my hubby proposed after 1 week,bless him,we lived together for 10 months and then got married,we were together for 24 years till his death in November.

in the poll i voted 2-4 years but i'm not that observent and only noticed the 'when you know you know' option afterwards. So if i'd noticed the 'when you know...' option before then i would have voted that

there should be no set time but when it feels right for the couple. Two of my mates have been together for 2.5 years but that doesnt mean they should be married yet

I think that you should get married when you feel that it is right. Not at a forced time.
