You caught me, that is all me and Gary are waiting for.....

Proposed on the 4th anniversary of our 1st date.

Whew! I still have another year to think about it. :hmmm:

My wife and I dated for a short time when she was a freshman and I was a sophomore in HS. She dumped me. Couple years later she came crawling back. I reluctantly took her back.



j/k
We got back together her junior year and dated for another 2.5-3 years before I proposed. We've been happily married for 14.5 years now.

That would explain the low pay.

Unless he was out there with a container of gas, some glass plus, a rag and a couple quarts of oil

Oh yeah, I forgot. She moved in toward the end of her senior year of HS. So, we lived together for several months (somewhere between 7-10 months, I think) before I proposed. I would recommend getting to know the person as well as you can before getting engaged. I've seen too many people get hitched when they really didn't know the person very well and then regret it later on. Divorce is an ugly, ugly thing.

I've been married 3 weeks.
We lived together, basically, for 3 years.

I just read that divorce rates are the same for people who never lived together before marriage and for people who lived together for over 8 years before getting married.

Once you you shack up, you should start using that logic to delay. I could have held out for another three years . . .

Wait at least 2 years before considering marriage. It takes that long before you see the fangs...

Marriage is over-rated

good luck again

you should know her for atleast a year. if you can, live with her awhile. finish school if possible so you can help support her and yourself. think with your heart,pocketbook and the "right" head. but what do i know,son.

dated for a year.. married for 14.

Let's see. We dated for about 2 years - had a child along the way. Got married in 2000. Have been married ever since. At least until I find a way out - death, maybe?

Marriage is good, but tough. It's worth it.
