Is 2 months long enough to decide if you want to marry someone?

ABSOLUTELY NOT Any fool can put on an act for just two months o dating and talking a lot. You would be marrying a stranger

I do not quite understand the question. Are you asking if two months is enough time to realize you want to marry someone?

OR

Are you asking if after proposing, should the girl take two months to accept the proposal?

OR

You are part of a custom where your marriage is arranged and is two months enough time to realize you want to marry?

IN ANY EVENT: eight weeks is not enough time to do anything but grow a good lawn of grass. I would not decide on my entire future of supposed happiness after knowing someone for just two months. NO way.

Maybe, just MAYBE if you're both senior citizens and this isn't your first rodeo. Anything other than that? Not even close.

Don't fall for the idea of finding your soul mate and knowing right away that he is the "one." That only happens in bad romance novels and in Hollywood. You don't know each other well enough to make that kind of decision with so little time together. You haven't gone through any difficult times together to know how you would each react to some kind of problem that you don't agree on or on how to resolve it. Give yourself a year to learn about each other, how you deal with stress, how you react to bad news and so on. These reactions tell you a lot about each other. Two months is only the tip of the relationship. If you want to be together for fifty years or more, do you think that you can make the decision to marry after only eight weeks of dating? I would slow things down in a big way if this is the way both of you are thinking and keep talking and learning about each other. Even if you're dating with marriage on your mind, it doesn't mean that you necessarily have met the right person. Give yourself a chance to live and explore life without being married. You just might find that this person is not who you thought he was.

NO.

Nope. Not nearly. You should know a person at least a full year before even contemplating marriage. During that year you should not only spend time together but also meet each other's families, friends, and coworkers. You should discuss life, financial, family, and career goals.

60 days is not enough time to even get to KNOW a person!

I think six months would be the minimum, though even then you do not know each other well.

Samantha,

When I was in college, I fell in head-over-heels in love for the first time in my life. Every guy before him just paled in comparison. We had only dated for about 3 months, but he was already talking about our future lives together as husband and wife. We talked about the type of home we would live in and how many kids we wanted to have.

Fast forward to six months into our relationship. Suddenly, he decides that he doesn’t want to date me anymore. He ghosts me, and he’s off with another girl. Just like that.

The point is, people who have been dating for only a few months don’t really know each other well enough to know for sure that they really want this person as a life-long partner. People in the beginning of the relationship are at that romantic phase where everything seems to be perfect. Your partner is the most perfect human being in your mind. You are just dancing on the clouds with joy at such a wonderful relationship. Until you really get to know each other. Then you wake up one morning and realize that the guy you thought was so perfect really isn’t the god you think he is.

I’m not trying to take away your fun, but I do want you to be realistic. According to Psychology Today, two YEARS, not two months, is a good amount of time to be together before you marry. My guy and I were together for 5 years before we married, and we are still together, 16 years later. Getting to know your partner very well before you marry will make it more likely that you will stay together, which will take some time to do.

Now take your time and enjoy your relationship and stop thinking about marriage.

I am a major advocate of living with someone for a while first before getting married. If you can last at least a year of living with each other's bad stuff as well as good stuff, then it's a good start.

You only know this person for 2 months? DON'T GET MARRIED YET.
