[quote=Anonymous]It worked for us - married 20+ years and going strong.

We'd been dating for a year and a half and had the serious conversations about our path to marriage. But there was a lot of upheaval at the time - I was just a year out of college, he was changing jobs, we were both moving (together) several states away from where we'd been living to a new place with no family or friends, both trying to pay off $5-10k in loans (college for me, car for him after his old one died and he needed one to commute).  We decided that we didn't want to start seriously planning a wedding until we were settled down and out of debt. The easiest way to get there was to get a place together in the new city. So it was a fresh start at a new life together when we moved, a firm decision to commit to each other, but in a way that allowed us to take one step at a time.

Got officially engaged a year later, and married a year after that. Rented together at first, and closed on our first house two months before the wedding.[/quote]
