It's a modern day myth that two people need to spend a long time together to create a bond and then when they feel ready, they are ready for marriage.
God intended marriage, not dating, for creating lasting, long-term bonds. Adam and Eve got married very quickly and then got to know each other better later. This is why many fall into sexual sin before marriage - people in a long term relationship e.g. 3 years, often commit fornication because they "can't wait". They follow their natural desires as God intended but due to some social stigma for getting married "too early", they fall into the trap of waiting too long and so fall into fornication.
Here are some stories of people who married a short time after meeting, and had long marriages:

Also, short courtship periods are the norm in many cultures, or non-existent, and used to be in western culture too.
