I never dated my husband. Not one single date. We’re heading toward 17 years of marital bliss.
I had a friend that married without dating as well. They went on their first date after they had agreed to marry. They worked together for a few years and had gone on a few missions together and he just decided she was the one or vice versa or however that sort of thing works.
They haven’t been married a year yet but I’m confident they will do fine.
