The ones I do know about should have been gotten over or resolved by now (because they were silly, and plenty of experience has proven the worries wrong). Three-ish years, no separation; in fact month after happy month spending lots of time together. At this point I'm getting quite annoyed at the hypothetical guy who seems to be taking no thought to the hypothetical girl's feelings, and the hypothetical girl for standing for it. Is she hot? Quote

Outside the LDS world women are having babies later and later and it's turning out fine. Not an insult, demographic statement. I've noticed that families are started earlier in religious communities than secular ones. Again, not an insult. LOL, Gator, you say this because you are a man. Believe me there is a big difference between having a baby at 28 and having one at 40....I know. About the dating, I think two years is too long to waste on one guy. Granted I wasted three on an unrequited love, so maybe that influences me. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the reason LDS people tend to have short engagements? Maybe it's just too obvious to mention? It's easy for non-members to have a relationship linger on for years without getting married, because they don't live the Law of Chastity. I can't imagine how an LDS couple, who are attracted to each other, could possibly date for two years! I seriously don't get it, and I don't think it's necessary either. I think Sis. Beck agrees with me. At least that is what I get from this statement: "Many don’t see forming families as a faith-based work. For them, it’s a selection process much like shopping." https://www.lds.org/liahona/2011/03/teaching-the-doctrine-of-the-family.p1?lang=eng I think Eowyn's friend (unless there truly are some unusual circumstances as others mentioned) should give him "the talk". Either move forward or move on. Quote
