How long until marriage?

I agree, I think over 25 you should have a proposal in sight 1-2.5 years. Of course, he should begin discussing his desire to start working towards marriage around 4-6 months. Dating has to be with purpose. Anything over that, you're on route to be a forever girlfriend. Just think, why does he need that much time to mull it over?! Also, never let a man tell you he doesn't have the money for a ring, while he owns a gaming pc and fugly nike dunks.

Ideally:

He is EXCITED to marry you, and have been expressing that within a couple of months of dating -- and you are COMFORTABLE with his excitement (the difference between genuine excitement and love bombing is how you feel about his courtship).

Because ideally he already vetted you prior to asking you out and start the whole courtship process, so he is ready. He is just waiting for you to be ready.

And YOU decide when you are ready to accept his proposal. Every woman has a different timeline -- only YOU can decide what your timeline is. The most important thing is that you are COMFORTABLE all the way to the altar.

25 and over you want to recieve a proposal within 1-2 yrs of dating. And if no proposal, you have explicitly talked about getting married and why you both want to wait and when he intends to propose. Mid 20s are an awkward transition from long term school relationships to working relationships. So it's not uncommon to see a mix of length- but generally- any relationship over 4 yrs is forever girlfriend Under 25 is a different time in life- typically these relationships fail before marriage or end in divorce. You are unsettled and your personality isnt set bc your brain is still forming. You still want a marriage minded man in your vetting tho (typically you will be treated better w men who prioritize relationships like that)

Idk. Having been married, I think agreeing to marry someone within the first 1-2 years is foolish. You’re in the honeymoon stage those first two years, and most likely not coming up against anything that would test his mettle. What you need in a relationship changes —YOU change—so don’t sign up for forever too soon. I’m with someone now and we’re hitting the two year mark. He wants to marry me (it’s true ladies; men know relatively early if ur the one). He told me plain about a year ago. However, I wouldn’t even dream of marrying him until at least year four or five. But that’s just me. I want to see all the bullshit, and I want to see consistency — over time. And do I even want to get married again? And will he actually be cool with being married and living separately (only way I’d consider it)? We shall see.

No matter age: 18 moths. I had a starter marriage at 20 that lasted less than a year “unofficial”, albeit on paper lasted two and a half years. So, after I had paper trail that it was over (July 2011), I “jumped ship” almost immediately (November 2011). How long is that second marriage? I am still married to the 2nd man. Which means, it’s been close to eleven year married to this 2nd dude. Lesson learned? Expanding my standards while simultaneously raising them made me find a REAL HVM. The 1st one was a dumb “himbo” five years older than me chronologically (but seven years “younger” mentally). But the second? So much more than I’ve dreamed of 🥺. However,
