Hello you beautiful ladies, how are you all tonight?
I just found out tonight that my parents got engaged after 4 months :-O and next April they''ll be celebrating their...35th wedding anniversary. I had absolutely no idea, I wasn''t sure how long they''d been together before they got engaged, but I thought it would be longer than that!
It made me think though...when did waiting become the norm? How long is the average relationship before engagement do you think..3/4 years? I know there are a lot fewer and a lot longer, but I''m just guessing averages.
What changed it? The acceptance of cohabitation? The increase in divorces and decline of religion?
