my husband and I officially met november 1996, but knew of each other since 1994.

We became a couple Jan 1997 and married June 3, 2000.
 
Met Jan 1989. My husband asked me to marry him when he signed my yearbook 1990( It’s so cool to read now) Got married in Feb of 91.
(Didn’t mention we broke up and got back together several times during the 2 years before we got married)
Feb 2005 it’ll be 14 years (God is good)!
 
We worked together before and after our marriage. We knew each other around five years when we got married.

We don’t have a slew of children – I am infertile. We have adopted twice and are trying again. (We took a break until I was over the death of our first child.) I believe we will adopt again after this one, too.
We adopt special needs kids and maybe that redeems us from not having a large Catholic family.

I am grateful for my husband and even though we took a long to tie the knot officially, we committed to each long before that. Isn’t that what they said would be the major difference in a marriage’s longevity – whether the two decide their union is indissoluble?

BTW it has been 19 years of marriage. I now get to see the priest who officiated at our wedding because he is the pastor of our son’s school.
 
We started going out together in March 1991, got engaged in January 1992 and married in January 1993. Our son was born in October 1998.
 
Well, I married my best friends brother. So I had known him for 13 years. We dated for 5 months before he asked me to marry him. But we had known of each other for a long time. And he still asked me to marry him! Been married now for 20 years, 6 living children.

My wife and i met at Junior Prom. We were married two and a half years later. My parents otoh, were engaged on their second date (and my mother was already engaged). They were married four months later (yes, in a Catholic Church-but that was 1966 and there was no “6 month” rule).

In Christ,

We dated for 3 months, got engaged…three months later got married…one year later had baby!

I think you just know when you met the right person
 
My wife and I met the first month of college and got married one month after graduation. Had we not been in college we probably only would have waited 2 years instead of almost 4.
 
We have been dating for 7 years this December, we have been living togeather for 3 years, we are getting married this June.
 
We met in June, 1984, but she had a boyfriend and I wasn’t looking. Met again at a halloween party that year. This time, she had no boyfriend. Had our first date November 3, I asked her to marry me on December 27 and we were married August 17, 1985.

Peace

Tim

We wanted to wait until we graduated college, mainly for legal reasons though.
 
I’m just curious, are you catholic? I was wondering because I thought you weren’t supposed to live together unless you were married.:confused:

Keep in mind, please, neither of us was Catholic or religious at all when we met.

We don’t fit into the normal how long did ya date before you married category. We chatted a few months, had a few phone calls and then met in person. We sat on a parkbench for many hours and talked without realizing how long we sat there. Then I started spending every weekend with her and the kids. We lived together for a year and 2 months before we got married. We will be civilly married 7 years next month. We are hopeful our annulments will be granted and we will have our civil marriage co-validated next summer or (please please, pray for us!) sooner.
