3. Sounds old fashioned-- but it's good advice. Never move in with a man without being married. Statistics have found that couples who live together have less chance of ever getting married, and those who do, fail to stay married at a greater proportion than those who have never lived together before marriage.

I'll agree with number two. But that's it.
Seriously, not everybody is all crazy about getting married. Really, it's true, although you wouldn't know it from reading GC. Two years? What if you started dating at 19? You'd have to be smoking crack to think getting engaged or married at 21 is a good idea for 95% of the people in this country. Seriously. Just as all people are different, all relationships are different and what works for someone won't necessarily work for someone else. If you want to be engaged after two years good for you, but I don't put a time restriction on my relationships.
As to number three, again, who cares? I don't care if I'm living with someone and we don't get married. Being married is not the holy grail of life for everyone. Really, it isn't.
