Possibly, the older the two are the shorter the time they would have to know each other to become engaged or be married.
Even though they dont know the other person as well, they have a good chance of knowing themselves better and their role in the world around them.
No one can really say that any relationship will or won't work. Certain generalities are seem to work out statistically though . . .
So for example, the marriages of people that live together first are shorter than the people that don't live together before marriage. However, you will find that if you count total time of the relationship you will find the times to be about the same. They just reach the shelf life of their relationship.
I hate to second guess people and will leave out the whole idea of seeking self actualization or a myriad of life experiences before tieing onself down. And if you don't think you give a lot of things up becoming engaged or married you are fooling yourself.
I will say that marriage is an economic union for the purpose of having children. So the idea is to marry before the children in order to build a secure "nest" fo having children.
If you are not ready to settle down and start having kids or put together a nest specifically for kids soon, then I would question why you would want to get married right then.
I think its a mistake a lot of people make. They get married before they have to . . . and it limits them before their time.
