What's the Ideal Length of Time of Dating Before Getting Married?

During a relationship there comes a point in time that eventually, you will get serious and want to take things to another level of commitment. There have been lots of speculations on how long a person should be involved in a relationship prior to considering the ultimate step of getting married. Truth is that no one really knows what the magic number or length of time you should be in a relationship prior to pursuing marriage. Most say that getting hitched months after dating it's totally ridiculous and that it would never last, but in some situations it not contradicts those statements but outlives what some may consider to be a "traditional" length of time.
Only dating for a few months prior to a marital commitment is scrutinized because to some, there isn't enough time to know the person completely and what are their likes or dislikes. Another issue is that many family members have not been properly introduced and if anyone or majority of people who are against marriage after dating a few months would be family members. Red flags would be thrown all over the place and caution speeches would be the core of any conversation with immediate family members who are concerned about your decision.
Some believe in falling in love at first sight and actually in most cases they dated for years prior to marriage and they end up with the happily ever after ending. Again, this is only in some cases and not all. Couples who fall in love also make the decision to move in together prior to getting married. To some religious communities, living with a partner maybe seen as a sin, but it actually works best for couples to get to know each other more intimately and learn their "live in" behaviors. They say you never know a person until you live with them and this can be a known fact to many. It's like having the pre game to the super bowl in this case living with together and testing the waters before the marriage. Couples who've lived with each other and actually didn't make it are thankful that they did it because they figured how the rest of their marriage could have been a disaster. They agree that living with each other and learning each others attitudes, likes and dislikes, mood swings, peeves, and true colors, made the decision if they were actually compatible with each other to have a life together, easier.
In many cases, some couples didn't match at all and the only thing they had going was the sex but couldn't co exist with each other due to different attitudes and personalities. They actually became just sexual partners and hung out, but never dated again. When asked if they would consider getting married after experiencing living with each other they said they would have to try living with each other longer and see where they would be now.
Time can also help a relationship, without it you cannot have a strong and mature commitment to one another. Time maybe of an essence when it comes to having a strong relationship and many may say that sometimes it will take years before some couples actually marry and some may not even marry at all, but will still live life together as if they were married.
Love is a strange thing and no one can ever tell how long it will be before it hits your heart and time will just stop completely. If love is strong enough it can take just seconds by the time you know who you'll end up with for the rest of your life. Short term or long term doesn't matter if its true love, then the kinks of life will iron itself out for you and the one you love.
