CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Generally the answer is for about two years, minimum, but there is no maximum. You can discover even after 10 years that you did not know the person at all.
If you want to base your life commitment on experience and knowledge of the other person, than no, online world is not enough.
However, there have been many arranged marriages in which people did not know each other at all and those marriages still lasted and worked in some way. So the answer probably depends on "what kind of marriage do you want".
Its useful to have some timeframes and goals. They become stressful only when they are used as some kind of literal law or rule. If they remain flexible and open to changes, it should be fine, a direction.
One possible answer can be if one of you moved to the city where the other of you live. In this way you can see if you like it there and see each other often. If its really difficult for both of you to do (or none of you wants to leave the home place), then the long distance relationship may not a good idea in the first place.
