I agree with Steve. The day I met my husband, he told people he was going to marry me. They thought he was silly. We married 8 months later. We have been married for 19 years now since February. <3

if you are dating to get married then yes you will know in 6 months or less. but if you are dating to just date then maybe not.

[CrystinGilmore]

Yes, 6months is enough time. My husband told me I was the one within the first 4 months. We were engaged within the year and married 7months after. We’ve been married 9 years in July😊

[sandral]

My parents dated for 2 months before getting have been married for almost 40 knew my boyfriend for 7 years, got married and divorced a year

[sugarspiceunlimited]

In 6 months I believe you know the fundamentals! You don’t know a person fully, but 6 months is enough time to know if the person you have feelings for and talk to everyday possesses the qualities you desire in a spouse. People out here playing and wasting time 🙄
I agree with Steve

My sister married her husband after 6 months of knowing him. They have been married for 19 years today. I'm with Steve, I believe men know after 6 months whether they want to marry a woman. And women know, too.

[Alhamdulilah.]

To be honest, you can be with a person for 10years and you will still not know *everything* about them, so if you are waiting for that moment to know everything then you will not be getting married anytime soon.... so I think it is a matter of connection rather than the number years you know each ither

[jacquelynndouglas-pettis]

No disrespect but y’all notice that the single people said no and the married ones said yes.

[fatimadaniels]

I met my husband on a blind date and called my sister and told her I met my future husband. Two months later we were married and now 18 years later we still happily married. If you know, you know.

Steve is completely right. You do not have to get married but we know.

[bioinformatics]

6 months was enough time for us, my husband and I have been married 25 years.

[verceska]

Agreed! I MARRIED my husband 6 months after our first date. We both knew almost immediately we are meant for each other.

[MaryBieber]

You can know in 6 months. It depends on intentionality. First of all, don’t even agree to date someone who doesn’t even show slight potential. From there, prioritize emotional/Spiritual intimacy over physical. I usually know in 3 months or less if someone is not the one. Use that discernment.

[mrsturner]

My husband asked me to marry him at 6 months. 9 years married and still going strong.

[jennyeddins]

People always change and grow. I knew pretty much right away that my husband was the one and he said the same about me. We married after 10 months of dating and we've been married for 12 years. It hasn't been a perfect marriage, but I've never once doubted that he's my soulmate.

[lorenbass]

Yes. If at 29 she doesn't know herself then why are you dating? 6 months should be ok to talk marriage because if your values don't match up abort the mission and don't waste 12 months. You don't have to be planning it to discuss goals and values to see if you are on the same page.

[tieiatalks]

Absolutely. My husband and I were together 8 months when we married. 6 months of that was him being deployed. We’ve been married 14 years!

[masterwork]

I 200% agree. We know within 6 months if you have what we are looking for.

[cagoalie]

My hubby and I knew within the first month that we were going to get married. We got engaged after 6 mos and got married when we were together for a year. We have been married for 12 years.

[sapphiremystique]

Fact: we have to learn to listen to the voice within. I always knew my ex wasn't the one but we loved each other and eventually after almost a decade of being together we got married. Needless to say it din't last. When I met my current love it was instantaneous. I knew early on some would say too early that this was the person I wanted to love, marry and raise children with. It is true. When you know you just do. If you don't then perhaps that's a sign too. I have found that people try to talk themselves into things despite clearly knowing when someone is wrong for them. Don't forget we all deserve a chance at the kind of love that is once in a lifetime. Don't sell yourself short. It isn't fair to yourself or your partner.
