You mean the stage where you guys are happy and getting along right after the marriage?
I'd say it lasts about 6 months.
I mean the beginning when you are dating and courting and everyone is on their best behavior and not letting their true character and habits show .
Ohhhhhhhh, then I say 1-2 months, cause that's about how long I can fake the funk before acting the fool I am!
I think that stage can potentially last for quite some time, maybe even a couple of years. Especially if you aren't married or living together.
It can last as long as years, especially depending on how much time you spend together and how forthright you are with each other. In fact, for some people the true colors don't come out until a commitment is made.
I think FH and mines' lasted about 1 month. At that point is when we felt so comfortable with each other and thought we had it all...then all hell broke loose (I exaggerate). Anyway, there are things (big ones) I found out about him after 1 year of dating. I'm talking someone I spent EVERYDAY with, talking, going out, vacationing with family etc. That's why I get so surprised when people marry after less than even 6 months (let alone a year) of dating.
Life is a funny thing though, I know a couple who dated 2 weeks and got married and they are still together, 5 years later. I'm pretty sure their first year was hellish.
