How long were you together before marriage/living together?

[Schema]

Probably been done before but ...

How long were you and your OH together before you a) got married and b) moved in together?

Just curious

Met in the February, became friends, started dating and "moved in" together in the August (actually just split our time between our 2 houses), engaged in the December, I moved into his house the following March and we were married the following August.

So 12 months as a couple before getting hitched and 18 months of knowing each other. :)

[Keepthechangeyoufilthyanimal]

Were together for 3 years before living together and 8 years before marrying felt like I waited a long time to get married! Been married 2.5 years now

[LadyLetch]

We met in 1997, when I was at university.

We moved in 16 months later, when my university course had finished.

We married after we had been together 4 years & 4 months.

It took this long for us to buy a house (we bought after renting for 7 months, but the house needed a fair bit doing to it ) and then to save up for the wedding. We married with no debt. I guess we could have married sooner, but I was terribly sensible

[Vasilisa96]

met... engaged the next day... married ten days later... still together after nearly ten years. That's a Modern Indian "Arranged Marriage" for you!

[mameulah]

Moved in after eight months. Got married after three years.

[Birdsgottafly]

Practically moved in as soon as i met my DH to be. Lived together properly after two months, together for 22 years until i was widowed.

[sades101]

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I met my boyfriend through some mutual friends and moved in with him the day I met him... we've now been together 2 years and have a newborn

[scentednappyhag]

We lived together before we were a couple, as he was helping me out with rent after I kicked debt running up cheating bastard ex out.
Got engaged after three months, married the day after we'd been together a year.
