poshut, why pressure people into the two week time frame? If you implement it as “normal” then people might feel pressured to decide within that regular time frame to make sure they are “normal.” My brother in law’s RY pressured him to break up with my sister after two months – can you imagine the pressure after 2 weeks? Either you would have many less marriages, or many more failed attempts because people were pressured to adhere to the norm. I honestly don’t think time is the problem with shidduchim.
KeepinEntertained, yes I am from a MO background and I realize 1.5 years is a long time for many people. My point in showing those three examples was to illustrate three happily married couples (I am the shortest married at 4.5 years) who needed different spans of time. There is no magic number and there should be no pressure to decide within a time frame. Each person needs to decide that time frame on their own.
