How long into your relationship did you get engaged?

[Denn35]

Just that really! Interested to see when people decided to put a ring on it. I know no two relationships are the same but I am intrigued having a baby and coming up to our second year anniversary makes the question play in my mind more so as to when things like this follow?

Got together in 2014 and engaged in 2017. So 4 years 😊

[Esssa]

One year in. We are now nearly 4 years in, living together for 2 years, waiting for covid to let us get married (should have been last year) and with a baby due any day.

If you are committed to each other enough to have a child are not not committed enough to be married?

[Justmuddlingalong]

Was getting engaged and married discussed between you and your DP?

[jacqelinedaniels]

Was fun.

[NavaniKholinRocks]

Got engaged about 1.5 years in but had discussed what we were looking for long term (as on whether or not we wanted to get married ever, have kids etc.) after about 6 months.

[BettyBooth]

4 months.

[Finfintytint]

Bought a house together after 1 year. Married after 18 months. Had a child 3 years later. Thirtieth wedding anniversary this year.

[Wowcherarestalkingme]

[Oneearringlost]

Got together 1989, bought a house ( like you could in those days in your 20s) in 1992, engaged 1993, married 1994.
Married 26 years, fingers crossed, still going

[lynsey91]

We didn't get engaged. Got married 5 months after meeting and no I wasn't pregnant.

Celebrated our 40th anniversary last year

[MixedUpFiles]

3 days.

But we had been friends for years. It’s just once we decided to be more than friends we knew we were all in.

[Cocolapew]

3 weeks

[Denn35]

Interesting scale here from a matter of months to years @BettyBooth hope you dont mind me asking how you both came to the decision of getting engaged so early in?

@Justkeeprollingalong me and dp are relarively young and honestly until my newborn came along these thoughts never even came into mind. But as you said I feel like we've already jumped such a huge hurdle in terms of commitment and I pratically feel like we are married, I'm wondering if maybe it's worth giving some more thought to?

@Justmuddlingalong haha no dc was a surprise so we would of never guessed we was to have a child together let alone potentionally get engaged

[BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz]

Got together at 18, got engaged at 24.5, married at 26. No babies till after marriage (I wanted the security).

[ShowOfHands]

6 years but mostly because we wanted a family. No fecking way would I have had children without getting married.
