When you're married. (Seriously).

As much time as you both need to agree that it is the right decision. If neither of you is ready, it is not the right time. If one of you is ready and the other isn't, it is not the right time. It is impossible for anyone to give a more specific answer than that.

Well said, Disney Steve.

Highly individual question (depending on both people, and the particular relationship).

I personally go with the gut. What does your gut feeling really say? Hormones aside...

I do agree with this statement totally , though some times reason is voided by the emotions --------- take a lot time , and think that love is more than sex , if you could spend a life time with that person or at least you believe , that is the ONE [ your heart will tell you ] then and only then get MARRY ------ or go with that feeling ---- but never forget to wear protection ---- AIDS is to be feared to that extent ---

It has absolutely nothing to do with time. You may know in a week that someone is the right one for you. You may date someone for years before discovering that it just isn't working. Forget trying to set a date and just focus on getting to know each other and building a relationship, if there is one there to build. Besides, what if the other person set a date of 6 months?

I agree with Steve.

I'm not an advocate of waiting until marriage. Sex is something that you need to know if your compatible with that person before making a lifetime commitment.

When your both ready, then that is the time. There is no arbitrary time that someone can pull out of the air.

Not only that but waiting until marriage I've seen has caused people to rush into marriage just for sex. Yeah great reason. Only to end up miserable and divorced soon after. Classic case and point...Jessica Simpson. Would he have married her if she gave itup? Probably not. But then he would have placed a higher premium on the relationship than sex.

It's when you and your partner are ready.

How do you know she REALLY was a virgin or was just pretending for the positive press?

I don't believe in marrying before having sex. It is wrong.

I am guessing she waited. Mostly because if you watched her wedding they rushed into it in like 6 months.

3-month rule is actually a good gauge if your partner is serious about the relationship. Majority of the woman I dated didn't last longer than 3 months. The one that do, became long term for me. But I wouldn't "rush" going all out getting married right a way after 3 months.
