How far you can go with your gilrfiend or boyfriend before married?

As far as you like, provided you are both happy with what you decide.  Don't let society or religion tell you how to live your life with your 'gilrfiend'

If it was a serious relationship involving love, there is no true time limit. It all depends on when your ready. I would say six months. You never know, but if you try going out and it doesnt feel right. You would know that means your not ready.

depends.. Where does your boyfriend want you to go.. and if it isnt a good place or what you really want, don't do it. Take time to figure out what you want, and then make your decision

Whenever you are ready, trully in love, and mature enough. My hubby and I knew each other since we were little kids. We got married when I was 22 and he was 20. We've always been very mature for our age and we knew what we wanted. We've both graduated from college, we have our own home, have a wonderful dog, and we have been married 4.5 years. We're now trying for our first child. We were in love and we didn't want to spend another day apart. We also waited until marriage to have sex, btw. :)

It depends on the couple.  Early in my parents marriage, they were apart for 5 months while my father worked overseas, and they stayed married and had 4 kids after that.\n\nMy own boyfriend and I lived 100 miles apart for several years, and we are now married and happy.\n\nIf both people are committed to the relationship and want it to work, then it will.  If even one of them is not, then it won't.

Like any other relationship, as long as you're in love you'll stick together no matter the mileage separating you. My hubby was in England, I was in France, then he was in Malaysia and I was still in France - we did that for 3 years before moving in together, and after 10 years we are married. So it works!

No. I don't see a problem with this type of exploration before marriage. As long as both persons involved are comfortable with it, it shouldn't have a negative impact on a happy marriage.\n\nHave fun, enjoy eachother's company.

I met my fiance 3 months ago the nite before i moved out of my husbands house to another state.  I continued my moved.  He visited me the next week.  We talked on the phone.  He moved me back 1 month later.  We are so in love and are planning our wedding in Aruba.  All things are possible.

Hugging is perfectly fine, just as long as you don't take it any further. Kissing is also fine, as long as it doesn't lead to anything else. As you are a Christian, you should always wait until you get married before going 'all the way'.

I read the other answer and I don't think you were asking about common law marriages, lol.  Your question was how long before a proposal.  That truly depends on the couple and IF both are ready to make that comittment.  My first marriage, we dated almost 4 years before getting married.  Now, I just remarried in August 2005 and we lived together for 3 years prior.  My son just married his girlfriend after only knowing her 4 months.  So it really depends on the individuals involved.

What!?!? Don't you KNOW?? I thought you said that you are going to marry!! Normally people wait until AFTER they've found a suitable mate before making that decision...!

You should be dating at least a year before you get engaged - you need to get to know each other better, go through holidays, spend time with your families, etc. With more time, also, you and him can save up your money for the wedding, since you should be mature and paying for it yourselves.

8-10 weeks prior to the wedding date but if you have a large amount of out of town guests or out of country you should sent those out slightly earlier or make sure save the dates are sent out early so these guests can look into vacation time and flights.

after marriage, whatever age

I am going to live with my boyfriend soon. And I would not want to be married before having lived together for at least a couple of years.\nBut hmm 14 years, that is a long time. Maybe he is just one of those millions of people that does not value the institute of marriage.
