When your players are adults with jobs and families, one session a week is good going. Making the sessions short doesn't help that much.

I used to game an insane amount of time in my teens and early 20's, but tapered off a bit as I got older. Currently, I run three campaigns: my personal campaign with my gaming group and two others which I am paid to run. The latter two I don't talk about often or in anything other than vague terms because that's part of my contract with those other groups. It's a lot of workload sometimes, but the last two only met up every other week and only for four hours, whereas my regular games are weekly and can go as long as 12-16 hours (10 is our average).
