I think its a minimum of 6 months. Nothing less than that until you are ready to tie the knot. |

As for me, a month is okay, dont ask me why, Courtship doesnt really determine much because you are both forming for yourselves |

[size=18pt]As long as you are ready. From one month upwards. But the most important thing is to know the depth of the sea before you choose to dive in for a swim lest you would drown if you cannot swim very well. Many partners hide their true colours until they are married and you would be at the receiving end. A young woman is now trapped in a marriage after a short courtship with a man she thought was a good person until she now discovered that he is a shameless philanderer and crook. The marriage is now her misery.[/size] 1 Like |

claremont: What's the point of plucking figures from the air?! There hasn't been any proof that the length of time courtship takes plays any role whatsoever in the longevity of the relationship. GBAM!!! |

Six months of traditional courtship where people werent acting like they were married and getting to know all potential suiters on a platonic level until a winner is chosen. |

In my opinion, the length of time doesnt make a difference in the quality of the marriage. I dated my wife for 5 months before i got married and i still feel like a king whenever i'm with her...(love u sweets!!!) 2 Likes |

The ideal length of courtship before marriage should be 1 year maximum for the following reasons: 1. A lady who is ready for marriage should be old enough to handle the challenges of marriage. She should be a helper to her hubby. She should strive to be educated. If for any reason, she couldn't make it to school, should try to learn something practical and should establish a means of livelihood no matter how little. That way, she won't depend entirely on her hubby. 2. A lady who is ready for marriage should have reached an appreciable level in her education. If she is in the university or polytechnic, she should be in her 300level or HND 1 respectively and should be more than 20 years of age. 3. She should be deep-rooted in d things of God. She should understand some basic principles about life and the need to be supportive and hardworking. As for the male folks who are ready for marriage, the underlisted holds: 1. The guy should have completed his university education and must have started up something worthwhile to sustain him and his prospective family. 2. If he is not keen on going to school, he should acquire some sort of practical skills. He should have a business of his own that will fetch him steady source of income. 3. He should be above 25yrs of age. This matters a lot when issues like marriage is talked about. Maturity is needed on his part for him to be able to cope with the rigours of marriage. 4. He should be God-fearing and should heed to the bible's advice on husbands handling their wives gently since they are weaker vessels. With the above points, I don't think dating is neccessary. Hence IMHO, the ideal duration of courtship before marriage should be maximum of 1 year. Dating is for kids, courtship is for adults. |

Una be fool: The length or time period before marriage has been seen lately as key in any relationship with future family building plans because it helps partners to understand each other better. It has as well Been seen as necessary and unimportant by many. While some think it should always take a short period and others may think it is suppose to go on for 5 years or even more before marriage. What's your thoughts. How long do you think it should go on before marriage? u cant xpect a young man of 20 to court a girl for 6 months and then marry here. i believe its only men and women who are ready to get married that can put time limitations to their courtship. if am dating a girl now its because i want to b with her and not because i want to get married, i am very sure am not ready for marriage now but the lady who is with me when i am ready to get married will sure be the one and i will only hope she will say yes. i av dated one one girl all my life for over 10 yrs now because we stated from junior secondary school so wen am ready she will be my wife. there is no preset time limit for courtship. |

1-n Years. Where the variable n represent any number above 1. No ideal figure is stipulated for length of courtship; However, it depends on the two parties involved. |

safarigirl: Agreed. Generally though, you have to take into consideration that two month old courtships have lasted longer than two year courtships in marriage. You want to take to the altar a lady you met 2months ago, I dont think youhv related very well with 9ja girls, d only way ur marriage will last is being together always and satisfying her in all aspects, travel! her boyfriends dat serviced her 3months ago very well will take over. der so many tins u need to correct abt ur woman b4 marriage: adjust her lifestyle to ur taste, distance her bad female friends, and u really need time to knw them, unreliable male friends, her way of socializin. other tins u need to cut to make her focus on ur relationship&relate wit only the right pple, y d tyme u r doin all dis u wld realise uhv spent close to a year already in it. u guys wld disagree&agree on some issues, if u dnt do it b4 marriage, u wl do it in marriage but u wnt achieve 100% result. u may regret it. Ladies has hidden stuffs dt take u tyme wit them to fish it out&tell them d right tin. men think deep&forsee tin more than they are, so we are meant to put them tru cos they do tins according to present situations. Dont rush to marry a girl in the name of beauty&be claimin love, but bin selfish of losing her to som1 else is ur concern. she has met so many pple b4 meeting u&had felt what she s feeling for u also for few pple b4 u, mayb she jst lost contacts of few of them b4 meeting u. better be a wise man!! |
