Just for curiosity... did you start your relationship with 14 y/o? I guess playing video games was all I cared when I was this age :D

13 actually - funnily enough it started with video games; we met on Runescape!

My parents' relationship did. :) It's something like 40 years they've been together.
> as someone who got married at 21, I can honestly say it's the decision I'm most happy about in my life so far.
One might hope that statement was true no matter what age you got married at.
However, we had been together for over 7 years by that point and I'd be very wary of advocating getting married young to everyone, as I know at least here in the UK there seem to be quite a few teenage/early-twenties couples who decide to get married after a few months to a year, and end up divorced 6 months later. The facts in this article could be also taken as very misleading, especially considering that the happiness survey they took made no mention of age.
