Most of us had previous marriage or two that end up in divorce.

A devastating experience.

We do know better than taking a marriage proposal lightly.

What would make you to take the plunge and how long you think you need to know them before you say "I do"?

Are you comfortable making this decision?

Hi Laura.

I have learned over the years to trust my instincts.

It was because I ignored my instincts that I got married years ago. He proposed after three days. I accepted the day after. I have not repeated the mistake, and have had a few marriage opportunities since.

Yes, I would be comfortable making this decision. It would have to be one heck of a man to make me go down that road again though.

wave A good but difficult question. All I know is that each time it takes a longer period to heal and prepare for trying again ( 2 in my case ) Hopefully 3rd time lucky but when that will be is a serious and lengthy consideration. I would need to know them for at least 1 year and to have lived together, harmoneously. Personally I don't need a marriage certificate to be committed, but if my partner needed it then I would re-consider.

P.S. 2nd was a gf, not wife

G'morning lovely Krisha bouquet

I agree it depends on the other half,

but if you do know that both of you like each other (or you think you dunno love each other)? Would you wait for months, years to make up your mind if you are proposed to?

Three days!!!!! It's very romantic! heart wings

But...

I'd imagine instincts don't kick-in that soon. Lol...

I'd imagine you would, yes! ...being a confident woman who knows exactly what she wants.

I'd be lost...

None of us are slow when it comes to sizing up the potential mate. But we get so caught up in the excitement. We do not pay attention to the important stuff. So you have to "be still" sometimes. Once you spend enough time with that person, you will know wether you want them with you the rest of your life. JMHO

Hello RDM wave

Good to see a man in this thread - I was about to post a special one on the same topic but slightly modified for guys laugh uh oh laugh

hmmm

I think I can understand not needing a marriage certificate... So you'd wait for her to pop the question?

Doesn't "re-consider" (coming from a man) sound a bit as a favour?
