This is probably somewhat true, and I would agree that ideally everyone should not rush headlong into marriage. Having said that, there are all sorts of mitigating factors that will determine the outcome of individual marriages, and I think you are probably making too much of the "scarcity perspective". For the record, I was married when I was twenty, am still perfectly satisfied, and will be celebrating my twentieth anniversary this August.
