writes:I have a poll question of sorts...What is the YOUNGEST age you think two people should get engaged? (ie. 19, 20, 25 etc)And how long do you think you should have been with your significant other before you get engaged? (ie. 1 year, 2 years, etc)And what is the LONGEST you think an engagement should last before actually getting married? (ie. 6 months, 2 years, etc)I'm just curious to see what you all think about this, see if there is a general consensus!Also if you have a personal story about your engagement, how old you were, how long you were together, if the marriage lasted, and if not, how long before you got divorced, etc, etc. Thank you!

Still, my advice: As long an engagement as possible - it makes for a shorter marriage!

 I dont think it really matters as long as two people are in love and have seriously thought it through then they should do what feels right. My brother was with his fiancee a year before they got married they she is 25 and he will be 24 when they married may this year and have only been together 5 months.
I think the time between being engaged and being married usually depends on if you can afford the wedding.

 Youngest= 24-25 women, 28-30 for men
longest dating before engagement= Again, age is a factor, but I say if you are both over 25 then a minimum of a year
because by then both of you have given up on trying to be mr or mrs perfect and the true yous have long since come out. If you are still together and want to be, then go for it.
