I got engaged after 1.5 years and was married by 22, after two total years of seeing each other. One living apart, one together. We've been together for 7 and married for 5. We don't/can't have kids and we love each other very deeply. I am happy this is the amount of time it took, because I honestly couldn't wait to call her my Wife.

Standing in front of our friends and family really did make it a declaration of our love and commitment to each other, just like any other ceremony in which you commit yourself. This surprisingly felt a lot stronger than I thought it would. And did make me feel different that 'feel like married' verse that actual declaration. Legal stuff has helped us in immigration and is a good thing in case one of us is ever hurt or is in the hospital.

I think that marriage for a lot of people has seemed like 'the next step' and that is something I don't feel is healthy.

Personally though, I knew from the second I saw my wife, some of you may know the story, after 5 years apart, as family friends, I knew I wanted to be with her forever.
