I'm not disputing the mental and emotional development that occurs throughout your twenties, though I will say things can, and do work out for some. My wife and I married at 21 and 22 almost 30 years ago and we've been together for 36. We're still the best friends we were in highschool and are inseparable.
The trick, for us at least, has always been to not getting into a mindset that didn't allow for us to change and grow while also working to live up to what the other thinks we are.
I'd like to say that we have always been true souls that were focused on each other. Then again, maybe we were just lucky children.
