How long is 2 long to be engaged?

 
 I was talking to a coworker recently that said she knows a couple that's been together for seven years then they got engaged but the weddings not planned for another four years or something like that? Sounds suspect to me lol!. If you’re getting engaged you should be able to come up with a date in the foreseeable future. I saw another comment that said if the engagement is lingering on forever then that person is trying to figure out if they really want to be with you and guess what, that should have been done before the two of you got engaged. It really only takes 6 months to get to know someone well enough to marry them. Employers take chances and their employees end up retiring sometimes.....
I searched the webb for responses and look what Wardy found:

 ...........My Fiance and I got engaged almost 4 months ago. We have been together for 3 yrs. I’m 21 and he’s 23. We picked a date, and when I say we I mean he spit out a random date, and I ran with it. I got super excited thought of a theme,colors etc. However it seems like he just isn’t as excited as I am. Also every time I bring up wedding he says “Oh we have plenty of time.” Or “We need to save money.” Then when I try to draw out a plan he doesn’t want to participate! Like seriously!? The date is about 9 months away and I honestly am not seeing a wedding happening on that day. Then I don’t want to be nagging him about it or anything like that. I just want him to stop dodging me and let me know if he even really wants to do this!

............ I would love for a man to just say if he is ready or not and stop pretending or just playing withyour heart then u catch him cheating or holding hands with another woman.

............. I would say a year or less. Especially if you’ve been together long enough to KNOW you’re ready for marriage (3+ years). Engagement time is for PLANNING the wedding and coming together as one (looking for a house, planning kids, etc.)

............. 2 years is it!!!... PLEASE DON'T WASTE MY TIME AND YOURS.


............. I tell my sons the longer you can wait to have sex the longer the engagement can be. If you can wait 4 years to have sex with your lovely fiance than you can be engaged for 4 years. I am very aware that my beliefs are in the minority, I just believe that you can't seriously consider yourself a Christian and go completely against the Bible by fornicating for years when you can just make it official.

I am Ward
