Did you "just know" within a few weeks of meeting someone you'd marry them?

Female here. Yes, after the first 3 dates within a month period. Married for 3 years. Never had that gut feeling with anyone else or that quickly. Funny thing was, it was a blind date and I REALLY did not want to go, but by the end of the night I was gushing ha

Knew right away..engaged in four months and married within that year (in mid thirties so ready for marriage). Happily married for seven..each year better ESP that our kids are getting bigger and now we can actually sleep

Yep, we were drinking at a party just a month in and told each other we wanted to get married. We felt a little sheepish the next day, but here we are 15 years later, about to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It's the only time I've felt that way about someone so soon in a relationship, or at all I guess!

[Anonymous]

Yup. Both times. But the second time, I REALLY knew. Still married.

Yep. Met when I was 35. Engaged a year later. Knew it by the second date. I had several very dramatic, intense and at times toxic relationships in my 20's. Was happy and fulfilled and single after that for 5 years. So, I was in a good place when I met my husband. He was just so solid, nice, and normal (and I mean that as a compliment). I always think that I just had to grow up and get "healthy" before I could have a substantive good healthy relationship. It just clicked for us, but not in that crazy "you are my soul mate and I will die without you" kind of way I've had in the past!

Absolutely. Female, and I was 37 at the time. We're about to celebrate our 10th anniversary.

Yup. Female. Met when I was thirty and knew within a month. Formally engaged after 10 months (talked about at six months) and then married 8 months later. Happily married for six years now.

I had just turned 16 when we met , so I was not thinking about marriage, but it didn't take long for me to feel strongly about him/have a different level of closeness with him (not physically) than I'd had with guy friends, crushes, etc. we dated a looong time (10 yrs) before marrying, though. In our early 30s and married 5 years so far. Hopefully we will continue to be happy together.

Yes. Knew within first few dates, if not maybe even the first night we met. Married after 2.5 years of dating, married 6 yrs now. Two kids. Had never felt so strong about another person in my life, and never thought that "I knew" with anyone else. Male.

Yes, we "just knew" within weeks and married 6 months later. It's been 17 years and still going strong.

Wow, I am surprised at all the 'yes' responses (and a little worried that there might be something wrong with me, because my answer is 'no'!). I wasn't interested, but DH was -- took about a year of him actively pursuing me for me to warm up...then we dated for 3 years, moved in together for the next 4, and got married one year later. Been married 5 years.

Yes, saw him and time stopped. I wasn't thinking oh he's the one or we are going to get married but it was like time stopped for a second. Weird. Several weeks later he asked me out. That was it! Just felt easy. He said when you know, you know. Together 4.5 years, married 2.

i met my dh on match.com. i remember laughing while reading his profile page because it was so funny. I think I even said to myself "I'd marry this guy". I'm not the type of person to say things like that. And although I did get cold feet before he proposed- just worrying about commitment in general, there was always a part of me that knew I belonged with him and he belonged with me. We have been married for 6 years and we are really happy.

[Anonymous]

Nope. We met at a summer camp thing as teenagers. We were friends for a while before either of us felt a real kindling. About six months later we started dating and married ten years later!

[Anonymous]

Yes. I still remember how easy our first date was. Got engaged 3 months after the 1st date and married within six months of that first date. We've been married for 12 years, have 2 kids and are going strong. We still have not lost our passion for each other.
