For people who are already married, how long have you known your spouse before you got married?

I had known my spouse for almost a year before we started dating. We worked together and weren't able to see each other romantically. Once they transfered to a different location, we began dating.It was a year and half later that we had our beautiful wedding on the beach.

Six years. At first we were both in college, but in different towns. Then along the way, there were all sorts of difficult and sad things happening such as deaths in the family.

Eventually, we just needed to make up our minds to do it no matter what! So we did. Then we threw a nice little party, where our family and friends joked and laughed, and one of them toasted us by saying she had been waiting for 6 long years and was glad she didn't have to wait any longer for us to have a wedding.

Ha! (She only knew her husband for a few months when they got married. ) We then treated ourselves to a cruise for one week in the Caribbean.

What a time we had! It was so long ago, but it sometimes seems like yesterday. :) youtube.com/watch?v=-3-VF7xd_KE.

Wow! Unwirklich, 12 years? That's a long time.

Interesting! I met my husband and knew him for a few months before we talked about officially being an "item". Then we dated for a bit over a year before I felt sure about getting engaged.

Our wedding was about 7-8 months after that. So when we got married I had known him for about two and a half years.

We have been married for almost 22 years, and lived together three years before we were married. We had dated about a year before moving in together, so we've basically been together for 26 years. (Gaw, that sounds like a long time!) We had four young kids between us when we met.

We took custody of his three shortly after we were married because their mom was negligent and a party-hearty type and the poor kids never knew where they'd be sleeping from one night to the next. We had them all until they hit their teen years, then his two younger ones went to live with their mom again. The oldest daughter stayed with us because she always was daddy's girl (and still is, at 32!

).

I knew my husband for four months before we got engaged and it was 1 year before we got married.

I've known my husband a year before we got married. But the first six months was the most crucial because I was able to know him inside out because the other 6 months we were apart when I was working abroad. I have known him when we were closest together and known how it was with him when we were far apart.

I'd known my husband maybe three months before we got married. That short, lol. But, he had known me for over a year yet he only didn't have the courage to approach me.

He said he just stared at me when I walked by and that he knew my name already. I didn't know but I was flattered when he told me about it. The good thing when we got married is we're like girlfriend/boyfriends in our early years of marriage.

Until now (we're going nine years and counting), we still are sweet to each other.

I met my husband originally online we began talking 12 years before we got married, we met in person probably 11 before...

I knew my husband a year and a half before we got married. I was getting about of a bad marriage and needed some time to decide what I wanted and settle some things.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
