my wife and I waited almost exactly one year from engagement to wedding. It gave us enough time to plan the wedding and everything that goes along with it, but not too long that we were waiting like forever. Also, it gives you plenty of time to register at Bloomingdales and time for people to buy you stuff, which clearly is one the great things about getting married, you get all kinds of stuff you wouldn't otherwise buy, like dishes and china and sheets and blenders, etc. As far as marriage goes just be honest. Discuss things like do you want to have children and if yes how do you want to raise them. Do you want to buy a house? If so, where and how much do you want to spend on a house.A question for serious and successfully married couples. I am in a serious relationship of 3 years and soon to
Get the book intellectual foreplay. It will help both of you to become connected mind, body, and soul. It is well worth it.


You will love it.


REmember:


communication


commitment


and conflict resolution........in a positive way.
The engagement should be long enough for you to plan your wedding.





things to discuss:


-money, how much to save, spend, insurance, etc


-children, when to have them and how many


-going out for entertainment, what is accepted


-housework, who does what


-sex, how many times a week to satisfy you/him (don't be shy talking about sex)


-birthday gifts, dinners
The time of the engagement does not decide wheather your marriage will end in divorce or not.there are people who live years together engaged to each other and break up after they get married.What decides the fate of your marriage is compatability in every way and your patience.
Married for 39 yrs. here. 1st, if you belong to a church, seek your pasters advice. If not, seek a councilors advice or someone who's knowledgeable in such manners.


We put our Mooney in same checking/savings accounts because we trust ea. other.


We talk things over (at least the Big things) such as buying cars and such.


NEVER ac use your spouse of anything you (THINK) they are doing because you'll prob. be wrong. Experience speaking..
