Can You Know You Want To Marry Someone After Only Six Months Of Dating? 

No disrespect but y’all notice that the single people said no and the married ones said yes.

if you are dating to get married then yes you will know in 6 months or less. but if you are dating to just date then maybe not.

I agree with Steve. The day I met my husband, he told people he was going to marry me. They thought he was silly. We married 8 months later. We have been married for 19 years now since February.

My parents dated for 2 months before getting married......they have been married for almost 40 years........I knew my boyfriend for 7 years , got married and divorced a year later.........

To be honest, you can be with a person for 10years and you will still not know *everything* about them, so if you are waiting for that moment to know everything then you will not be getting married anytime soon.... so I think it is a matter of connection rather than the number years you know each ither

Yes, 6months is enough time. My husband told me I was the one within the first 4 months. We were engaged within the year and married 7months after. We’ve been married 9 years in July😊

6 months was enough time for us, my husband and I have been married 25 years.

I met my husband on a blind date and called my sister and told her I met my future husband. Two months later we were married and now 18 years later we still happily married. If you know, you know.

Steve is completely right. You do not have to get married but we know.

My sister married her husband after 6 months of knowing him. They have been married for 19 years today. I'm with Steve, I believe men know after 6 months whether they want to marry a woman. And women know, too.

In 6 months I believe you know the fundamentals! You don’t know a person fully, but 6 months is enough time to know if the person you have feelings for and talk to everyday possesses the qualities you desire in a spouse. People out here playing and wasting time 🙄 I agree with Steve

My husband asked me to marry him at 6 months. 9 years married and still going strong.

Yes. If at 29 she doesn't know herself then why are you dating? 6 months should be ok to talk marriage because if your values don't match up abort the mission and don't waste 12 months. You don't have to be planning it to discuss goals and values to see if you are on the same page.

Agreed! I MARRIED my husband 6 months after our first date. We both knew almost immediately we are meant for each other.

I 200% agree. We know within 6 months if you have what we are looking for.

Absolutely. My husband and I were together 8 months when we married. 6 months of that was him being deployed. We’ve been married 14 years!

When God's in the mist... there's no time period. The couple's that I know, that's been married longer than 20 year's, put God first, and were married less than a year of meeting one another. God is the ONLY one that is all knowing, even after a year you still can't say you know someone.

You can know in 6 months. It depends on intentionality. First of all, don’t even agree to date someone who doesn’t even show slight potential. From there, prioritize emotional/Spiritual intimacy over physical. I usually know in 3 months or less if someone is not the one. Use that discernment.

People always change and grow. I knew pretty much right away that my husband was the one and he said the same about me. We married after 10 months of dating and we've been married for 12 years. It hasn't been a perfect marriage, but I've never once doubted that he's my soulmate.

My hubby and I knew within the first month that we were going to get married. We got engaged after 6 mos and got married when we were together for a year. We have been married for 12 years.

When you know yourself and know what you want there’s no doubt. Know yourself and have discernment.

Fact: we have to learn to listen to the voice within. I always knew my ex wasn't the one but we loved each other and eventually after almost a decade of being together we got married. Needless to say it din't last. When I met my current love it was instantaneous. I knew early on some would say too early that this was the person I wanted to love, marry and raise children with. It is true. When you know you just do. If you don't then perhaps that's a sign too. I have found that people try to talk themselves into things despite clearly knowing when someone is wrong for them. Don't forget we all deserve a chance at the kind of love that is once in a lifetime. Don't sell yourself short. It isn't fair to yourself or your partner.

Yup, if we're mature and healthy most of us know in 6months or less!!!

My husband knew that we would get married the 1st month we dated. But it took me 2 years to know that he was the right one but we were also very young.. He's my high school sweetheart and we are still together after 19 years

My husband knew I was the one for him in three months, we moved in at 7 months 9 years later we are still crazy about each other and married with kids.

My parents got engaged a week of knowing each other and married three months later. It just depends on your judgement of a person and my parents are still happily married.

It really depends if you are dating to date or dating to marry. If you are dating to marry you can figure out if they're the one pretty quickly

Yes 6 months is enough to time to get to know someone. I know who I am and man I want in life. I am 26 years old and God has a way of sending you the right person in right time. Marriage and being courtship should be based on God not just feelings. God is love. #IMPERFECTWOMENOFGOD #GODISLOVE

My husband told me he knew I was the one after the first date. True Love has no limits nor does it have a certain time stamped on it. I agree with the lady in the middle "When you know you just know"

I knew immediately, my husband and I only "dated" 2 months then got married. And we've been married 11 years...This taking a lifetime business, trying to figure out who's the better option will only set you up to constantly keep searching I think.

my uncle and aunt married in 5 months in 1974 and still TOGETHER.. my bro waited 4 yrs and divorced in 1... I think it depends on the couple.. PERIOD

You can never know someone fully. Every situation that a person faces introduces a new characteristic of theirs. You can date someone for 10 years but still get shocked at how they deal with loss ect.

God decides the time. Period.

The lady in red annoys me 🙄🙄🙄 she talks like she knows everything smh

met my wife in June got married in November of 89 and Still married today

If you are truly connected to your true/higher self, you will know almost instantly when you meet the person. There are couples that have been together for over a decade and still don't know each other so....

Yes. Everyone is different. It depends on what your dating style is. In this date and age, men and women don't have deep insightful conversation, but some people do. I agree with Steve.

If you are both dating with the intention of serious relationship that will lead to marriage then YES men know within weeks/ months!

Several men i dated for over a year i thought i wanted to continue but they were terrible, awful people... my husband and I knew the first date. We told each other we loved each other and knew that was it. If you’ve been dating 3-6 months and think you don’t know someone at all... you’re lost. Husband and I have been together going on 11 years and its just gotten stronger. 3 kids, never a boring moment. More peace and stability than i have ever known with anyone else. No guesswork, no questions, no confusion (yes i want to strangle him sometimes like any other couple out there), talk about it communicate. We’ve learned things we didnt know at the start, but we committed early and stuck with it. It’s worth it. When you find the right one. We moved in a couple months after we start dating. Got married 10 months after we met. Had our oldest 9 months later. Still no doubt about it he is my best friend and we are still crazy about each other. He’s the one i lean on and I’m the one he leans on. It hasnt been perfect. We have had several crossroads at times and what we felt like was the final straw, but when it’s meant to be, you keep getting through it somehow someway cause it’s both people in it to win it. It has to be. I still will never forget meeting his cousin the day after our first date and he told him in front of me “this is it, we are going to be together and long long time” ☺️. The next day i was in the truck with him and he was on the phone with his mom telling her all about me and how much he liked me (even though we’d already said i love you 🤣). Feels like yesterday. And I can’t believe it’s been as long as it has. It flew by in a blink.

My husband and I met, dated, married in 7 months! 23 years later he is still my love, my best friend, my rock! When you know, “you know”!

5 days... I knew he was the one and we hadn't even met in person... he had a ring and proposed day after we met in person, after 2 months of knowing each other, 5 months after that we got married, 3 children and 10yrs later still head over hills in love.

Yeah. My hubby proposed at 6 months. We waited another year to get married. We have been married for 16 years...and we love each other even more now. Single ladies....dont waste time on men who are not worth your time! After two years if he hasn't mentioned marriage....move on!

Oh yes, my husband and I knew in 2 months and 5 months later we were married. Going on 🥳 10 years now! “Won’t HE do it! 🙏🏾”

My Daddy knew when he met my Mommy. They were married until he took his last breath...over three decades of a healthy marriage. My Mommy also told me that my Daddy was still discovering things about her decades into the marriage and that was something all wives should do...maintain some mystery...keep surprising him. You can find out somebody’s core in 6 months, the rest is icing.

I meet my soulmate and dated him for 1 year and then moved to another state to be with him. We have been together 5 years. Almost 6 years in November. ❤

A man knows his wife off back. It doesn't or shouldn't take years and years and years to still figure out. When you are right before God, He will lead and guide you. It's possible.

I've been very happily married for over 10 years and my husband and I were engaged six months after dating each other. I remember being told you don't know him well enough. Funny thing is were still together 12 years later and I've watch the same ppl who tried to give me advice in and out of multiple horrible relationships.

I have one question to ask....why is Steve asking unmarried women for relationship advice, how can she teach you how to get a husband when she can't get one. Steve was right for once.

My grandparents had only known each other for a little under two weeks, and got married.. they now have been married for a little under 50 years!❤️

If you don't know yourself after 29 years, how are you going to know someone else? You don't. People change daily. Now if you're williing to change along with them, then that's a beauty. I knew my husband for a month before we got married. Best decision of my life! These women saying no are single, whatever stage they are in their life. 29 is more than enough to know what you want out of a man/woman and going for it.

Yes, I could marry someone after six months of us knowing each other. if I truly felt the person was the one and everything important was lined up between the two of us. At this point in my life, I'm dating to be married. I'm not dating to have flings. I say to each it's own.

My man proposed in 5 and a half months. He was dead serious! We will be together for 2 years before we get married. Next year future Mrs!!

Six months is enough time to pick up on someone' patterns in life! Because there could be words...there could be actions but the most important is pattern...you would not STOP learning about someone even after you've been married for years and years...matter of fact, you've got to keep paying attention to your spouse even after youve been married for a while... however the true main values and patterns from someone's life, I think you can pick up in 6 months....have to be really attentive...

I was ready to marry ma girl the first day we spoke. Very first day. Iknew that I knew

I knew my girlfriend was the right person after the second phone call. Now we are happily married. Its not rocket science folks.

He didn’t say get engaged and married in 6 months. He just said you know. I think you do know within that time

Yes I had a ring on my finger within the first 5 months of been with my now husband and our wedding day was the day we had our first date.so exactly 12 months after we had our date and still very happy nearly 16 years together and nearly 15 years been married with 3 kids

I completely agree with steve. My husband and I got married after 10 months of dating. We both knew maybe the second/third time we spent time together that this was different and after 6 months we knew for sure we wanted to spend our lives together. Prior to me, he was in a relationship for 4 years and he never felt the want/need to further the relationship and never felt certainty to commit his life to this person. Marriage never even came to his mind. Length of time in a relationship is not everything ladies. you can be with someone for years and have it go nowhere.

Met, engaged and married in 10 months💕 my husband told me REALLY early I was his WIFE💍 almost three years later ! He’s STILL the love of my LIFE and always will be!

I dated my wife for almost 6 months, we are married now. My thought is: this dating too long it sucks the fun out of it, there’s nothing else to find out. Like Steve said: if you have what we want, People are different, relationships are different

Steve get an Indian on this. Cause we have arranged marriages all the time! And those marriages are there for a looooonnnnnggggg time. It's not about how long you get to know a person for, it's about being able to love their good and bad. There is a strict difference between love and passion. Passion is short-term and love is long term and requires humility. If passion is what ones looking for, that person is not ready for marriage.

Not only is there No Time Limit, on when you KNOW, he/she is the one, or how long you Love them. I just completed my second book, dedicated to my husband, Edward w. Purvis, jr., Love Has No Expiration Date.

Take the advice from those two is the way to be a baby mama. 6 months is more than enough time

When you know you know. Yes!!

A man may know in six months but a woman needs to see him in all kinds of situations over time in order figure out if she wants him.

I married my husband 6 months after meeting him! Going on 5 years now. Love him to pieces.

I knew I wanted to marry my husband two months into our relationship and so did he! We married 2 years into our dating and engagement and we’ve been married almost 13 years now and have 8 kids 😊. I love him more than I did then and so does he!

I agree with Steve, 6 months is enough time to get to know someone and decide if he/she is the right one for you. Also you can feel it the love and the happiness they bring for your life the time you been dating.

After 3 months I proposed, engagement was for 1 year. Been married for 20 years now. Why so fast? Dam hard to find a women with good character. Dam, dam hard.

Yes. My fiancé and stared dating in September 2020 and we got engaged in April of 2021. I knew from around Christmas of 2020 that she was who I wanted for the rest of my life and she told me the day after Christmas that I was who she wanted for the rest of her life and I started planning how I was going to propose to her right then and there

Most men know almost right away, but it doesn't mean we gonna push things in and rush into the marriage

Before dating my husband I didn't​like him he kept asking me out. I told him how I really was "crazy" among other things he still kept asking. When I said yes to dating 6 months later he asked "when do u want to get married"

yes my dad knew he wanted to marry my mom and went to her mom and asked for permission 5months after meeting. then they got married 3 months later. they are married 36 years now. mom said she had a dream of meeting the man she's going to marry and it happened like that, she only saw the back of his head in the dream, but she saw the setting and scenario, height, hair. i think that's lucky they have a pretty solid marriage. but dad likes to be controlled and all the things he owns it's under my mom's name, he doesn't buy things for himself, but pays the bills and a real good provider for all 3 of his kids.likes the simple things in life.. lol i know a couple like that today though.

My parents dated for 3 months and got married. Now their 28 years strong... it’s definitely possible

I'm sorry, I can't receive relationship advice from women that haven't been married. I don't care how many times Steve's been married. He's a man. I date men. So I'll take his advice any day than from failed match makers.

I knew the first day I will marry my husband. We ended up dating for 5months and that was it...we were married. When you know, you know

As soon as I met my husband, I knew it was different. After 2 months of being friends, he asked me to be his GF. 2 weeks later he told me he loved me, and a month after that he said he knew I was the woman he wanted to marry....Of course, it took him a freaking year after that to finally propose haha but the point is that we moved fairly quickly in our relationship. Fast forward to present. Were still happily married and expecting our first child together. It just depends on the type of relationship.

STEVEEEEE, YOU SAID THAT! Yes! in 6 month WE DO KNOW!

my man proposed after 3 months that was five years ago

My parent knew each other 3 months and they are now 27 years married, i personally couldn't but each person is different

One thing no one mentioned: it depends on how much quality time you spend in six months. If your only seeing them a couple times a week, then maybe not. But if your with each other all the time then absolutely yes that’s enough time. Also, these women did not understand the question. Just because you start to think about marriage at six months does not mean your getting engaged and married right away. Plenty of people know and still wait a while before asking

When you're over 30, you know lol

Preach it Steve. When two people are whole in their souls and meant to be, doesn’t matter how long they’ve been together. Time doesn’t define the relationship necessarily.

My husband asked me to be his wife before our third month of dating, we got married in our fifth month. We will be celebrating 20 years in September. He said he knew within two weeks I was his wife.

My parents knew each other- from introduction to "I do"- little less than a year before getting married; their time time dating within that year was only 3 months. And my father tells me, to this day, that he married the love of his life. My mother tells me she didn't want nothing to do with him at first, but he was persistent and so she went with the flow. My father never proposed- they just agreed they were to get married. 30 years later- still in love no matter what life throws at them!

I think it depends on the person because you can date someone for 10 years and don’t know them too. I know people that married in less than six months and have successful marriages, they’ve been married for over 30 years they just knew it was right. Sometimes you can’t put a time limit on love, I believe you will know what’s right for you.

Depends on the couple though. I was with my husband a year and got married after 10 months of engagement. I think he knew early I was for him but it took a little longer for me.

I knew my husband was the love of my life with our first meeting! We moved in together three weeks of knowing each other, engaged by month 4. Married at 6 months. It is bliss! There is no timeline. 😊

Just to add to my earlier comment, some people have knowm each other for years and still dont know each other, so its not really about the timelength. Forever is not always a long time, forever can be the next two months, one week. Life can be short. We dont know how much time we have left, so if you know then go for it!!

My husband and I were married in 6 weeks😳😍!

My husband asked me to marry him after 5 months of dating. We will celebrate our 1yr anniversary in a couple of weeks 🥰 i feel maturity and age played major factors in our decision to marry quickly plus the stars were aligned ✨

Facts. Personally I can tell within 24H. Doesn’t take that long to know!

When my husband saw me we fell in love . It was love at first sight and we have been married 37 years

I agree with the lady in the middle. You should have a general idea if you could see yourself longterm with this person. Not to say you're not still finding out things. But you should be able to say, yeah I can see this happening at some point.

I only knew my husband for 4 months before I married him and we couldn't be happier, when you meet the right person you just know!

Amen! especially when you're on the more mature side of things.

I think its important to talk about it early on to make sure its something you both want. You don't wanna be with someone for a couple years and then find out they arent interested in marriage and you are. But I think talking about it is only the first step, you dont have to propose the next day!

Yes, if as a woman you know yourself and you are dating a mature man then Yes.

Yes, my in laws were married for 40 years after 2 weeks of dating before my mother in law passed. My ex-coworker knew her husband for 3 months after a month of dating they got engaged and married a few months later and; are still happily married going strong 10 years with beautiful children. My husband knew I was the one after our 1st date he says all the time to everyone. It depends on the person but, IT IS POSSIBLE. Also Pastor Toure Roberts says all the time he knew Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts was his wife and soul mate after only the 1st date.

I knew after my 1st date with my bf that he will be the one for me and I parked up any other possibilities of dating.. we had a lot of ups n downs, obstacles that helped us learn and now im happy we didnt rush into marriage based only on our emotions. 7 yrs later we are now taking that step knowing fully without a doubt that we still want each other.
