    Under we were only date 3 months when we got engaged. I had known him since 15 though we dated on and off through out highschool both wound up in 10 year relationships not married or engaged they ended we reconnected and now we have a 1 year old son I got pregnant before we were engaged. We knew we wanted to get married though.

    I famously had a five year rule: he wasn't even allowed to propose until we'd been together for five years. So, we got engaged at the 5 year mark. (I think I heard somewhere that you're very unlikely to get divorced if you were together for five years before marriage.)

    Just a few months shy of 7 years. But time in doesn’t matter. Your experiences together matter most. Age usually plays a big factor as well. If you met your husband at 14 like my best friend you probs aren’t getting married at 16. On the contrary if you meet the love of your life at 85, why wait 2 years lol?
