The older you get, the less time is needed before marriage. This is what I'd say is reasonable:

If you're between 18 and 22, you should have been dating for at least 7 years before getting married (hence why marrying at 18 is almost universally a stupid idea).

Between 23 and 27, dating for 5 years makes it acceptable.

Between 28 and 33, dating for 3 years.

34 to 50, dating for 1 year.

Over 50, do whatever the hell you want, it's not like it is going to affect anyone anyway.


This is dumb


Nah.

Dumb is getting married with someone you think is your soul mate because you've been together for 3 years and you're 22 and don't know any better only to find out 2 years into the marriage that you've made a huge mistake that will affect you for the rest of your life.

Different people are different but as a general rule of thumb my guidelines hold true. A lot of people I know dated for 5+ years in their teens/early 20s only for the relationship to end, and they all thank fuck they never got married.
