[quote=Anonymous]I just read somewhere that 1.5 years (in person, not long-distance). You need to go through a full year with them, through the change of seasons...enough to see how they deal with stress, conflict, problem-solving, etc. This makes intuitive sense with me. I met my DH as a roommate of my boyfriend so didn't know him well. After we graduated, we kept in touch sporadially. We started dating and got engaged 1.5 years (that's coincidence to the previous paragraph--I just figured that out now) and married at 2 years after starting to date. We have been married 22 years and I do think you need the fun times to remember (the courtship times) when you hit the hard times. Those memories form that glue that holds it together, especially when you have kids and the stress that comes with them (physical exhaustion with little kids, then psychological exhaustion with teenagers)[/quote]
