They had maybe one year in the EF before the curse (and they spent much of that time trying to undarken their unborn child), 1 year in the EF between curses, and maybe a few weeks during the 4a Arc in storybrooke. Snow learned via her parents (unless they only taught her how to be good). They led a rebellion and ruled for a good nine months. They led SB in season 2, then the EF in season 3. Then they seem to be slightly incompetent in season 4 and in-between.

Arthur has a similar background as Charming and we no nothing about how long he has ruled either. At most 5ish years, depending on how long The Snow and charming stuff was.
