Don't listen to your friends.
I'm coming up on 11 years, and while there are many aspects of being married that doesn't fit into the fairy-tale ideas that you had when you were engaged - it still beats dating, hands down. And regardless of what the more jaded folks on here may say, there is nothing like growing old with/sharing your life with another.
Good luck!
We have a good division of labor in the house, have the same views about money, and are pretty easy-going about vacations and recreation, which helps a lot.
