My opinion is this - you are both adults and while there are rules that are not meant to be broken - it doesn't mean that they are sancrosanct and need to be followed to the letter.
Beyond that, a rule needs to be respected and thought about and given the maximum weightage and evaluation - if after all that you still feel it is a good match, then you probably don't have to obey the rule after that. You guys wait for 2 years and then if you still feel the same, you get married so you don't jeopardize his license.
Rules are manmade - and it is only a guiding principle - if tomorrow the APA comes up with something else, then what? So maybe we should just treat it as a good guideline and let it go at that.
