Are you planning on starting a family soon? If so then Qatar is pretty good. It's a small city and relatively clean, so it's a nice place to raise children - until they get a bit older at which point it is not a good place to be with children (schooling is very expensive and personally, i don't want my little girl seeing how the asian workers and servants etc. are treated here and going back to Canada thinking it is normal).
The health care is a bit dodgy too - my wife gave birth at arguably the best hospital in the country and it was pretty scary. But, our pediatrician at the same hospital is very good.
As long as your family has a secure income and you are happy in your work, then you should be good here. This isn't much of a party place, but newly weds usually like their own private parties so no big deal.
Also, the expat community here is great. we've been here a year, had our baby 3 months ago, and have met many nice people. There are days when certain aspects of Doha get on my nerves, but overall it's all good.
Qatar can be a good place for newly weds.
