I am new here, and I need some help. I am currently 'dating' a man who lives 1500 miles away. The reason I put dating in quotes is because we rarely see eachother. Things between us are great, but neither of us is in a position to move right now (I am preparing for Graduate School and he is finishing his undergraduate work.) We are both 23 years old and feel that we are in a place in our life where we would like to get married. The problem is that although we want to marry eachother, we don't think that getting engaged is a good idea for two people who have barely been able to see eachother for the last 5 years (although we have been friends for over 10 years). I guess my question is, can you be sure about the person to marry without spending a lot of time together (other than on the phone)? Why(How) or Why not?

While there are many resources at this site I would recomend two books to read,Love Busters and His Needs Her Needs. Most marriages hit major turbulance due to poor planning and missunderstandings. If you assimilate the info in these two books you will have the best database I am aware of to make sure that you have what it takes to make the most of your marriage to whoever . Dr Harley's books will teach you how to communicate and make choices together that are considerate of both of your feelings.
