I think, in most cases, 4 to 6 years is good enough. At that point, engagement and/or marriage should be considered, and I do mean seriously! No changing of minds, under any seeming circumstances, once commitemnt happens. If a relationship ends before marriage can happen, it should end with out family influence. In other words, because both people want it to end. But by all rights, a relationship should end, before the engagement occurs.

my ex-boyfriend was together with his ex-wife four years together befor they got married, but they did divorce shortly after two years of marriage.

And i also have met couple's who got married just after three to four months of dating, and are still living together with kids for so many years. so i probably will say from my own oppinion, one dont have wait,..like two or three years befor coming to a conclusion like,..Oh,..i think he or she is the right one for me,( some of you should have heared stories of how a man or woman can be able to hide thier true real identity while dating even for years without the partner knowing it, not to talk about some who have kids and wont even reveal it not untill he has married her or she is pregnant that is when its been revealed, and most times these people date for some years without noticing any of these things about thier date, not until they get married) believe me or not if that marriage will break in the 6months or 1year it still will end up in divorce. waiting for two or more years to get to know your partner is not the key to a long lasting marriage. Nr. one thing,..that one should normally consider is the connection or chemistry, love, respect, humility, forgiving, caring and above all all is the Agape love of CHRIST in which the relationship will be founded upon.
