I was with my first wife for four years. Got married when I was 20 and she was 18 and 4 months pregnant. I wanted out the day we came back from our honeymoon but stayed with her for four years before finally getting up the nerve to call it quits.
I went a few years playing in bands, screwing around, etc. when I met a girl at a club that struck me in a totally different way then anyone else I'd ever met. I told her over and over that I wanted nothing to do with a relationship, but after a long while of just being friends I realized I was fooling myself and that I honestly couldn't be without her.
We got married three years ago, have three kids (my daughter from first marriage, her son from previous marriage, and our daughter together). We both work together all day, and we hang out together at night. She is quite simply the cat's pajamas.
I don't like to go a day without her. When I have to, I miss her.
If you feel the same about your girl, then marriage is awesome. If not, then ask yourself why. Wanting to spend the rest of your life with her is great, but remember that your life is really made up of individual days. A lot of them! If you can take each of these days, one at a time, and relish the thought of spending them with her, then you are all set.
Good luck.
