People in my family (two pairs of grandparents, three pairs of great-grandparents, and an aunt and uncle) with the most successful marriage have two things in common: they met before their 20's and married or moved-in soon after meeting each other. People that struggle with their relationships in my family have other things in common, they have ALL went through at least one divorce and they took a long time to marry (one pair even took a DECADE of knowing each other).
I often wonder whether or not the hastily rushed relationship had anything to do with the success and longevity of their relationship. In other words, they all knew they met the one rather early on...
There is no set age for anyone to get married. Each couple is different and each couple has different issues throughout their lifetimes and they all have their own way of dealing with whatever issue comes up. Some are very successful and last through many years and still love each other and others cannot figure out how to work out the issues and stay together without anger, resentment and sometimes hatred. Marriage is tough and it is even tougher if one partner wants to succeed and work together and the other does not. Much like finances, if you are a saver and are married to a spender it is hard for each to be on the same page financially with the other a lot of the times, hence the huge number of divorces mainly caused by the stress of financial issues.
Actually, that happened to be a misconception. My great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers all participated in WW2 and worked, both of my grandmothers were top notch in their fields (a nurse, and a business owner) along with their grandfathers, the aunt and uncle make more than 300,000 a year.
What I am saying is, the women took advantage of the workplace revolution. So that can't be it.

Hmm maybe they are people that were just lucky to find each other at a young age.
