I think you can question forever. In theory. But in practice, you must meld. Meld into society that is. I will normally take the most proven point of view, but I still question in my head. Life, at least my life, is not full of theological questions. It is full of homework assignments, jobs, friends, etc. I focus on those most of the time. I consider theology and philosophy my escapes. I enjoy questioning. You can't really question that much in real life.
