I think the gist is that you could have a good impression of whether or not you could (happily) marry a person after a couple of weeks. I knew this about my husband. But we still dated for a year and a half before we were married - and I highly recommend this. In that time we grew to know each other's families better, and talked and talked and talked about how we wanted our lives together to

It is so nice to read a man's thoughts on Godly dating-and that there are men out there like you who really exist~! I understand you didn't mean ASAP to be after 2-3 dates or even after 2 weeks. BUT, my mother always told those of us in her SS class; never even date someone that you would not consider marrying. (BTW, my parents knew each other for 17 days, eloped to Indiana to get married and

Hey Cara, thx for commenting,

of course no two relationships are the same and marriage is an important decision that should considered with extreme thoroughness.

the main thing i was advocating here is openness before God, openness before each other and common sense

i actually don't advocate literally getting engaged after two dates, sorry if ASAP sounded like i was

I am curious about why you think people should know if they want to get engaged after two or three dates? I hear you saying that no two couples are alike and that everyone has their own story, but I have not often heard anyone say that, in general, it is recommended to decide about engagement so soon. I understand what you are saying about values being in line - and i believe that just about
