It depends on the relationship. Some sparks fly right away. But I would say in very healthy relationships probably about a year and even then you would want to be friends first. Dating second, engagement and then marriage and sometimes it can be longer. I think my parents didn’t get married until about at least seven years after they started dating. But that included university in college. 
Wow! 7 years?

Who says you have to get married though? Relationships can last a lifetime without ever getting married. It’s not like a piece of paper is an absolute requirement or anything
