If a third person's opinion matters, I don't think you should change it. Mr. Bennet's remark is coached in such terms that it is no way a direct reference to his own marriage, and although Mr. Gardiner might understand that he is thinking of his marriage, it could not possibly be termed an insult. What's there to object to? To say that some people who fall in love quickly regret it later is to say nothing other than the truth. As for the short acquaintance thing, I have no trouble believing that he didn't actually know her very long, at least past the level of mere acquaintance. As has already been said, he would not necessarily have mixed much at all with young girls not yet out, and to me Austen's quote on the subject certainly implies that he hadn't spent enough time with her to realize that the good humor was only an appearance and not the reality.
