Almost 20 months. Lived together for 1 1/2 years before we got married.

My wife and I dated for about 2 1/2 years before we moved in together. We lived together for 2 years before getting married. We've been married for 11 years now and I couldn't be happier.

Actually the divorce rate is higher for couples who cohabitate before getting married.

I dated her for a month before she moved in, I married her five months later, and divorced her five years later. I now live with my girlfriend and have for 2 1/2 years. I am happier now but if my girlfriend reads this thread, she will once again claim that I am dragging my feet.

I suspect that it has something to do with ingrained morality--those who believe it is wrong to "live in sin" are also likely to believe that divorce is wrong. I'd be curious to see numbers that show % happy with their marriage within both groups. I'd be somewhat surprised if those numbers weren't similar. FWIW, I shacked up for five years before proposing. It'll be 7 years of marriage this summer. And I don't feel I waited too long to propose. We were both in grad school and plenty keeping us busy. |
