Default If you are married....
If you are married or been in a long relationship how long did it take you to say this is the one for me? Meaning I'm going to marry this person or commit to this person and no one else.

As some of us like to say, when did you decide to turn in your player's card

Did you know right away, months, years???

Leap of faith brother.

Find someone who you don't fight with. Someone who has alot of the same interests. Someone who isn't high strung.

Marriage is a long slide down a hill. You want to do it with someone who can whether the bumps and not go bat **** crazy at the drop of a hat.

Married = Religious Rite = Very Bad
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.



Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.

You know, I've been married twice and I can't really answer that truthfully, since I don't really think there was a moment.

However, I will say this. If you are getting married, make sure of two things:

1) You share common interests. You don't have to like everything the other person likes, but it's good to have several things that you both like to do together.

2) Make sure she's not the jealous/possesive type. That will screw up a relationship in a hurry and you'll be a position of having to prove yourself innocent all the time.

I was dating someone else when I met my current wife. I knew almost immediately after meeting her, she was probably 'the one'. I broke off the other relationship and the rest is history.

Avaj,

I don't know that there is a time frame you can go by. For example, with my X wife, I knew her from the time I was about 13 till the time we got married, which was about 24. It didn't work out. With my Wife, we dated for a good 3 years and there are times that I still don't know. I'm certain that there are times when she thinks the same. Sometimes I think it's more about you then it is about time. If you are at a point in your life where your ready to deal with all that goes with being married and starting a family, then maybe your at the right time in your life. It's not easy and you will tell yourself that you have made the wrong choice time and again but I do believe it's worth it if you both have what it takes to make a happy family.

It never hurts to wait if your not sure because it's HARD work. Better to be sure then make a mistake. Stats say that 50% fail if you do it before your 25. They also say that 50% fail if there are more then 9 years between you. I say that if you believe your at that point in your life, you'll never actually know until you've made the decision.

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know crap.

Talk to your parents and see what they say. They are usually smarter then you think.

This is great advice. If she's a *****, get rid of her. It doesn't matter if she's hot. Looks fade.

I knew within a few months that she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
