Is 10 months enough time to know who to Marry?

In todays society I think it is. I think it only takes a couple of months to know what someones intentions are in your life, if your paying attention.

I think it is. 10 months is enough time to get to know the person and know what their goals and intentions are in life. Gives you time to know what their expectations are. Enough time to seek god as well.

I would agree with those that said yes...only if the "dating" was well rounded. Meaning that they had placed and seen themselves in various circumstances such as with each other's families and also have seen how each handles children (both good and bad children) -- situations were alcohol is available freely -- where women might be a temptation (situations like that) and finally some sort of professioinal pre-marital counseling. Plus being able to tell you what state New Youk City is in.

Me personally, if I were in charge...I'd give the potential bride and groom a puppy and tell them to bring it back in 18 months and I will decide if they can marry or not depending on how well disciplined and well mannered that dog is?

If you can't raise a dog to be obedient and well mannered....a child is not going to be any easier!



Sounds like Mr. Bachelor has something in the "works" here?

Hmmmmm?

How about a cat!!!!!!!

I clap my hands and say get they know it is time to leave my bed room.The smallest 1 will roll over on her back and meow.

She is the only 1 I have to pick up and carry out.The oldest 1 knows how to open doors by turning the door nob.He does not like getting a bath.He will jump on the sink and turn the door nob. I will go out and get him.Now all the women here know how I handle small children.Clap my hands and say get.:ROFL:

Arch you have a good idea.How does that special person treat kids?:peace:

This is an interesting question. I'm not sure if 10 months is long enough, but it could be if you know the person is compatible and committed. In my opinion it takes a lifetime to truly know someone. Many times we fall in love with the idea of being in love...we get so wrapped up in being in love we miss red flags.



In 10 months the relationship is honeymooning. Your in love, the person is great, etc...but then things change. How do you handle it then? Do you leave or are you truly committed? What have you truly experienced in 10 months? Marriage is for life....marriage in God's eyes does no end in divorce. Being divorced is difficult...especially when you never imagined that your marriage wouldn't work.

My parents got married after 3 months of dating and are still together, so I think 10 months is long enough if both parties know what they want and are genuine with each other during the courting/dating process. I know today's modern men and women make for a more challenging courtship, but to say 10 months isn't long enough to know someone and decide if you want to marry them would just be a false statement, in my opinion.

I am actually going to disagree. i dont think is enough time to realy realy know the person. because you are just in the love part of dating movies having fun but to realy say you are ready for a lifetime with that person i dont think is long enough. Well i say this because i thought i knew who my wife was when we was dating. and today 3 years after i have been sleeping in sofa for 2 years now. and all i get is her neglecting and cold heart. reason i havent left her because i in the other hand ment everthing when i married her. i said i do for ever not for 3 years. but my heart can only take so much. to who ever read this dont make my mistake. i thought it was from God but it was my emotions. now im paying for it. date longer realy know the person before you say i do and you dont meen it.
