You've been with him all this time and your just now talking about marriage? I'd say that their's something wrong. A one year ingagement is all that's needed to know if you want to spend the rest of your life with someone.

My wonderful neice just got married this summer to a great guy from one of the nicest families I've met in a while (they're a wonderful Mormon family, I think the first that I know of related to ours by marriage in a long time.) At any rate, they dated since the beginning of high school and they waited long enough for her to get to her last year of studies before tying the knot. She did an internship in London and they got married about a month or so after her return. She's brilliant, has had four books published at this point and she's about 23. He's quiet and the kind you just trust, a rock-solid type individual and if you spend any time with his family you know it's justified. I was impressed with them a great deal.

Some people know, but others? It's all subjective to the individuals involved, I guess. Maybe the lady in the article had issues within one of them finishing college? Maybe he's not as into it as she thinks, and that may be more of the situation just as you two suggest.

I tend to agree with you on that point.

Definition of engagement: the time before marriage when both parties try to find out if they can do better.
