It's been happening in the USA for a LONG time, like over 100 years. Don't forget the priests, they say NOTHING.
It is up to the trad fathers today to do their part in their own family, that is all that one can do when they are surrounded by even other trads, the majority of trads who do the same thing as the world.

I would say a year to 18 months, some could do it in less, especially if they or their families have known each other for quite some time.  There is much to be said in favor of marrying one's "childhood sweetheart".

Many modern people pride themselves on the length of their engagements --- it is very common for them to defer marriage until one or both partners finish their entire education (college, post-graduate or professional school, etc.).  Of course, they have sex and almost always live together, so their relationship is not pleasing to Almighty God.  Traditionally, people did not drag things out this long.  Engagements of many years is a modern phenomenon, fueled by the departure of most people from traditional morality, virtue, and Gospel values.

Having gone through this with two of our older children, courtship shouldn't last too long.  Courtship is designed to determine if someone is marriage worthy or not.  It's definitely not dating, in the modern sense.  If a man or woman can't determine the marriage worthiness of someone in 6 months or less, then it's time to move on.  6 months should give a couple plenty of chaperoned time together and meet the families in order to make a determination.  

Of course, that's just my opinion.  
My opinion exactly.
