Do those 3 months really make a difference?
Personally I believe it should be longer.
3 Months makes a lot of a difference when it comes to love. A lot can happen in 3 months to two people; unexpected financial crises, family drama, unemployment, misunderstandings, fights, etc. The longer you spend in a committed-but-not-engaged-or-married-relationship-while-living-together, the more you know about what life would look like, if you were. The more you know about how to coexist happily, and the more you know about who the person you're with is on their deepest levels, the better of an idea you have about whether or not you're truly compatible as life mates.
Besides, no one in this age group should be trying to commit. Most, if not all, of us haven't truly found ourselves as people, or really laid out life plans. Marriage is one giant, solid, infinite plan that plays a huge role on your life. Taxes, property arrangements, responsibilities. It's not just about finding 'the one', it's about being responsible and secure and emotionally mature enough to be able to meld your very livelihood with someone else. It's so easy to feel so in love, and believe wholeheartedly that someone is your soulmate, but marriage is leagues more than that feeling alone.
You believe what should be longer?
True. Never thought I'd have polygamy in just three months.
