3 months

Depends on how good the sex is, but probably less than 6 months.
-
That all depends on how they are compatible. They may have gotten real lucky and they may last for the rest of their life...but again they may not agree on things that wont allow them to live together. Just have to wait a see really.

I like to think of myself as an expert on divorce after a couple myself and this marraige doesn't stand a chance!

Cute avatar. I think the odds are really against them, but who knows?
-
I can see it lasting from 2 weeks to 60 years. You never really know. BTW: I believe in "love at first sight".

I only knew by hubby for 2 months and we got married. We now have a beautiful daughter and have been married for a year and half and going strong.I think for alot of people or I guesse most people only knowing someone for 1 week wouldnt let you see the true colors of that person. Even 2 months isnt a long time, but I guesse there are those small percent of people who work like me and my hubby.

Gotta define "knowing" to answer this one.
-
Ah I would say 6 -8 months tops unless she gets pregnant! +5 *Crystal*
-
you dont even know who someone truly is even after a year so there is no way you can in just 2 weeks. I dont think it will last very long at all.
-
About as long as someone who's known each other for a year. Probably longer....at least two years. That's about the time that most people get over the initial lust and learning about each other phase.
-
In our Western culture, not long at all - a year or two. Completely depends upon many factors including their willingness to stick with it and work on the marriage. Just like all marriages. In other cultures, arranged marriages can often involve the couple not meeting until their wedding day. Those marriages last a life time.

Id give it a year, if that
-
It's not how long they have known each other. Most divorces occur in marriages where the couples dated a minimum of 18 months and a large percentage lived together before marriage (I read that somewhere?)
-
stupid,stupid not hit the 2yr mark,but wait i'm a positive person and a small percent will succeed and last,but i still think that you show me 2 people that get married after 1 week and i will show you 2 fools.

Did their marriage come with an expiration date? Did the preacher/judge tell them that it was only valid in all 50 states as long as things were easy? Marriage is till death do you part! It means working TOGETHER in good times and bad. Not just when it is easy and the sex is great!
-
Depends, in western world I doubt it will work. But my parents lived in Asia forever. They met a week earlier before they decided to get married and they stay married for 50 years now. BUT if this two people are QUAILITY Ones it could last long.
-
I think it depends on the people involved. But probably in our society it wouldn't last. A week isn't long enough to really get to know each other. And I'm always suprised about what I realize about people a few months and even a few years later.

My mum and step dad: One date he moved in. One week they were getting marryed. Under two weeks marryed. They've been together about 9 years now BUT he has messed her up he hates herself dosn't leave the houses he's a con artist and had sex with my best friend when I was 12 and she was 11. She will now never get rid of him even tho she should. People wo have no been together long don't know each other so I think its a BAD idea to marry after only knowing each other for a week.
-
i think they will last until they really get to know eachother at that point its either made or broken
-
When you say "lasting" do you mean lasting happiness, or their willingness to endure misery for years and years? I know people who married quickly and stayed married for 30 or more years before they finally admitted it was all a terrible mistake that could not be rectified with time. In a week-long romance both people are probably pretending to be other people, and they think they married someone completely different from who they REALLY are. This is why I waited five years before finally marrying my husband. I wanted to be sure he knew the REAL real me, and vice versa.
