Whether it's two or five or fifty years, that doesn't change the fact that all couples have the same reflections about each other. I'm proud of my five years, but I could easily worry 'what about the seven-year itch we have yet to get past? what about the fact that we have yet to face any major challenges as a couple?' It's all relative, right? There's always something you find to compare yourself to others. As for the long-distance thing, that's just a reflection of people's differences in relationship preference. I saw Cameron Diaz on TV the other day and (not to use as an example a celebrity couple that will likely be broken up next year, but...) when asked why her and Justin haven't moved in together after all these years, she said that's just how they prefer things, that she's a committment-phobe and they're content to have their own separate places. Nick and I moved in together because it made sense economically - we were spending every spare moment together already, even doing grocery shopping together. So it made sense. But that doesn't mean it makes sense for everyone else, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as you're getting what you want in a relationship.
