now last talk something serious.
We sometimes hear abt peoples relationship periods of 10 years and older, with some getting marriage and other breakingup after these long years.

Now how long should a relationship go before marriage?

Matured comments as this will help lots of persons.

for me i think 2 to 3 years is enough, cos i cant be in a relatioship for too long, what the hell am i waiting for? Just imagine doing the things of marriage in courting, now when we get marriage what will be new thing?

2 to 3 years is enough

6-8years

1 month.


There shouldn't be a time frame. All you have to do is follow your heart.

Vinshu:
1 month.

no na, one month is too too small, if ur boo approaches u under a month, will u agree? its too early

ksstroud:
6-8years

Olomaje, chai, na wetin u won use 6-8 years take knw about him or her. Na marriage u don enter o, frm inside courtship o.

I think between 2-4yrs is okay.

correct, i like that. But who will initial the marriage move?

2 - 4 yrs z ok, n sometimes it might b lesser or more...but what really matters z understanding n trust of both parties.

i like that point

thanks bro

6 months is ok to have understanding

Even if it breaks off after 50 years of being together, what is the big deal? You just carry on living. For me, even though break ups can sometimes be painful, but I still love new beginnings & starting over. The loss is often replaced by the excitement of not knowing what's next. Almost like shedding off old skin & watching in anticipation as the new one emerges.

months and weeks should never be means to determine..
Like people saying 6 and + months or 1 month...no
2, 3 or 4 yrs should be enough.

Mine was 3 weeks actually. Like I said, follow your heart

For the nigeria/Africa setting It should b the man cox any attempt by the woman to intiate marriage can/will get the man scared and the lady can b tagged "desperate".but if as a lady u r getting to 28-32 years, it's better u initiate the marriage move if d man condition/living standard Is okay.

Well it depends on both parties...how well they bond and trust each other.... If u ask me, i personally prefer between 1-2 years....nothing more
