General ponderings.
I've been thinking about this, and I'd like to get other people's thoughts. I haven't seen a good LJ discussion in a while.
How long should you wait in a relationship before getting married? Is it how long you've known each other, or how long you've been dating? Does it depend on your age (i.e., should you wait longer if you're under 25)? Is there some milestone you have to hit? I know it won't be the same number for everyone, but is there an absolute minimum, no matter what?
I know people who were together for five or six years before getting engaged, and I know people who were married before their first anniversary.
Don't worry, I'm not getting married anytime soon. Just curious about other people's thoughts.
Honestly, I'm not even sure what my thoughts are. That's why I'm asking everyone here. I think less than 1 year is definitely not enough time, but I have no idea where the line is.
