I'm wondering about the average length of time for traditional Jewish marriage preparation for the bride and the groom to prepare for the event.

Hi!

 

The Jewish marriage preparation lasts for at least a year but could also last for many years especially if the arrangement was made when the bride and groom were only children. During the period of the preparation the bride is being prepared and she prepares herself to be a fitting wife for her mate. This is the period of time that the bride is being trained and prepared to take on the role of a wife and she prepares herself to be a fitting bride for her mate. This is the period of time that she is observed for her purity. That is why the betrothal always lasted for a minimum of one year, to allow at least a full nine months to pass to make sure that at the time of the betrothal the bride was a virgin. If she gives birth before the year is up then it is known that she was in a state of immorality. I hope this helps.
