Are you asking because you're thinking of getting married?

For me:
1st time - dated 3 months. I was 22. (mistake)
2nd time - dated 3 years.

Been married now for 4 years and couldn't be happier.

1st wife- I was 20 and we had dated for about 3 years and the marriage lasted 3 years.
2nd wife- I was 25 and we had dated for about 1 1/2-2 yrs. The marriage is still going great almost 4 years later (in July)
For those doing the math, yes my current wife came along as my 1st marriage ended. We had been friends at work (nothing more) and things just fell into place.

I'm not thinking of getting married anytime soon i think. I have been going out with my gf for almost 2 years now. I was just woundering if 2 years of going out is alot. A few of my friends are married already, my one friend was 18 when he got married last summer. I'm just wanting to see what is going on with other people.

Thanks for all your info,
Shane
