After a period of time, couples in love will consider marriage if they want to continue to develop their relationship, and the relationship will enter the stage of discussing marriage. So, how long does it take to consider marriage after dating? Some people think that you can consider marriage after 2-3 years of dating, because it is easy to lack passion if the time is too long; some people think that you should consider marriage after 3-5 years of dating, because it is easy to not understand each other if the time is too short.
My point of view is: if the time of dating is too short, you cannot fully understand each other, and if the time is too long, you will lack passion. So I comprehensively considered that after 3-4 years of dating, couples can consider talking about marriage and find an appropriate time to get married and enter married life.
I think you almost answered your own question, but to be more specific, I doubt if there is a 'typical' dating time prior to the consideration of marriage. It needs to be on a case-by-case basis. Especially now, with a global reach, international dating sites and the like, some folks may never do the traditional 'dating' but yet share a year or so of intensive email conversations, video calls, and individual photos of experiences on both sides.. those may only need a one-time meeting at vacation resort or on a cruise ship and decide to get married immediately. Now especially with the world in the throes of war, it is an act of mercy and love to consider marrying a person and possibly adopting their children who are facing death on a weekly basis. Lastly, I doubt if the 'Golden Years' community would think anywhere from 2 to 5 years of dating a practical idea. They would likely live together to verify compatibility and move forward with or without marriage, depending on their personal beliefs.
