Relationship - How Long Or How Short ?

How long is your relationship now? I learned it's not  how long or how short is your relationship made  you and your partner stay together. There are some couple who got married after long engagement but separated too after few years or months of living together as husband and wife. There were also some who decided to bind themselves after few meetings and still living together and getting stronger times go by.

I heard my niece and a friend of her discussing about this topic yesterday night. Her friend is favor on long engagement before getting into marriage and my niece believes that it's not on how long but how the lovers take themselves. It's how they love each other and how they handle the relationship to make it more stronger. At their young age, both were 14 years old, they were into serious topic like this, and I am not surprised because of what we call new generation or advance technology now a days are really wide. While, listening in a bit far a distance with them, I remember my mom  was very strict with this matter when I was on that age,  they say it's not yet the right time to talk about this topic because it can only give us wrong information, but not this time, because we are into the world of advancement.  After few minutes of listening with them and finished their discussion, even if they have different views about having relationship, at the end both shows they are open minded about the issue.

For me, based on my experiences it's not how long or how short, but it's how both love each other, the commitment, respect and trust can make relationship more stronger. Added the most important thing, the guidance from up above. What about you? What is your opinion with this matter?
