Most women get engaged between the ages of 20 and 21 while man average 21.5 years of age when they get engaged. These are some of the findings of engagement research, according to Dr. Jay Schvaneveldt, professor of family and human development at Utah State University.

Contrary to earlier research that found engagement to be a final testing and filtering process prior to or a formal engagement ring. Furthermore, 83 percent of these couples had experienced a Going steady period of the relationship leading up to the engagement.. Our data also show that couples continue to evaluate their prospects, of marriage during the formal engagement. More than 54 percent of these couples reported that they wondered whether their engagment to the other person was a wise decision, Schvaneveldt says. Even so, he says about 80 percent marriage, Schvaneveldt says, relatively few couples in the USU study viewed engagement this way. He says the final testing and evaluation presumably occurred before the diamond ring was flashed in the moonlight.
