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

[Anonymous]

If so, are you still married, how long married, male or female? Had you ever felt that before with anyone else (ie, false alert?)

[Anonymous]

Yes, married 7 years.

No, never felt it before. My other LTRs had something substantively wrong with them, but I never wanted to admit it. I kept trying to change them. This guy, I didnt have to change.

Female.

We both had a sense we had found "the one" within the first few weeks. We got married 9 months later. Have been married 10 years. Neither of us are impulsive by nature. Neither of us felt that with anyone else.

yes, I knew it was substantively different by the second date. Married 1.5. years later, been married 3 years. Hope we stay married--going through a rough patch now.

Nope. It took about a year and a bunch of events where we saw each other before I gave her a second look. She took even longer to warm up to me.

We started dating after 2 years and married after five. Been married about 13 years so far.

Yes. Married for 7 years also. I knew and so did my DH.

Basically. Maybe not I would marry him but definitely very strong feelings. Met in mid 20s. We got serious real fast.

We had a very intense first few years. I think our passion stage lasted a long, long time.

Been together 12 years, married 8, two kids, a few curveballs, going through major, major rough patch right now. But we are working on it.

Married little over a year after first date.
Divorced 12 years later.

Yes, on our second date, I knew. Female. Never felt that way about a guy before. Still married, 16 years.

Yep- met end of January, engaged in June. Long engagement because church was booked. Working on nine years now with two kids. I'm female. Never felt that way before, and glad because then I wouldn't be married to my best guy today!

Yes. Happily married for ten, together for thirteen.
