How long would you guys say one should be with their partner before getting married?
I have been with my partner for a while, although he was just ordained recently, so he has wanted to focus on his new position in the church before anything else.
He has been focusing on his job a lot, and it's almost like we are not as together as we used to be. I sometimes wonder whether we can call it a true relationship at times.
I am not thinking of getting married just yet - we would definitely need to get our relationship back on track first, but was wondering how long you guys thought was best? It was something we talked about a few weeks ago - about how it would be great to have a vicarage, and work in the church together etc.
I think with being a new vicar, he is very unsure of doing anything that others might not consider 'Christian enough', and it's not making this relationship any easier, yet at times he seems to want to take things further. I'm confused!
