Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How long between meeting to marriage?

Four years. I wasn't going to be the reason she didn't finish her degree. 22 years and counting.

2 years 2 months...........

But then I waited for her to finish HS, go to VOTECH School, and get a job...... that was 48 years ago..........

I say 6 years if you didnt grow up with them. 4 if you did. So far this rule has served me well. I never been married. I suppose they either got tired of waiting or figured out I aint no prize.

I’ve noticed that it seems like the longer one is engaged after 2 years the better the chance that the marriage won’t last. Conversely those that get engaged and married quickly seem to generally go the distance. That obviously not a hard and fast rule but a guideline that has been fairly accurate over the years.

Sorta like the inverse relationship between the size of the engagement ring and the length of the marriage. In my experience the bigger and more expensive the ring the shorter the marriage.

About two years. We will have been married for six years this December. We’ve had our struggles and are not an ideal match. An unplanned pregnancy was a motivating factor.

She’s a good person and mother, she’s responsible and has a solid career. Things have improved overtime. I wasn’t passionately in love with her the way that I would have liked when we married but it has made life better for both of us and especially our daughter so it made sense.

Our daughter means the world to me and even with the ups and downs in the marriage I really enjoy married life and time with her and the kids. Being single at 25 can be fun. It’s taken some adjustment but I wouldn’t want to be 45 and single with nothing to come home to. I’d do it over again absolutely.

Blind date in spring of our sophomore year, married after we graduated and I got commissioned so a bit over two years. We made 50 years a few weeks ago.

First date March 26
Engaged December 15
Married the next July 15

27 years so far. Happy as hell.

We’ve been together 25 years married 17 of those she gives me hell at times but I deserve it and she’s a damn good cook and keeps the castle spotless

about 6 months. Got down on one knee to ask her to marry me on Saturday, found out she was pregnant on Monday, 25 years, this y ear

2 years, 45 years ago. Lived together for one of those years - it seemed like it might work! First kid 6 years into marriage.

Trust, but verify....

About 7 yrs,
Be 30 next month.
She must be downing some heavy pharmacueticals to stick around this long.

Well met mid November she left next day on 2 weeks vacation. Married in early January. About seven weeks total. Will be 34 years this January.

Met 11/10/93. But I had seen her at her work.
Married 9/9/95

First met -Jan 5, 1974.
Married - Dec 20, 1975.

Between Christmas, anniversary, and all - I tend to forget her birthday - Jan 2.

I knew my future wife for seven or eight years before dating. We only dated for about 8 months then married.

36years later, I still introduce her as my 1st wife.

6 months, been married for 44 years.

Dated 13 months. Most people see us as totally different, but at our core we're a good match. Later this month will be our 39th anniversary.

April 30, to Sep. 55 soon.

I have learned from experience to wait at least 48 hours of sobriety!

A year and a half
