Twenty years sounds about right, so long as the couple is living apart. If the formal engagement lasts more than, say, thirty years, it's OK to question whether your betrothed is truly committed to you and to having a family.

I agree that 6 months is adequate time to know. 

My husband knew immediately when we started talking. It took me about a month to come around to the idea. 2 months of courtship and we were engaged. Like Nadir, I was older- 28 years old, and he was 34. By that time we both knew precicely what we were looking for in a spouse. We saw no point in waiting around.

You are right!
Courtship should never end.  So sad how many men think courtship ends when the vows are made.
Evaluation of a candidate should be done BEFORE courting begins.  Once courtship begins, it should not take more than 3 to 6 months to determine if the couple are a good fit for one another.
