For a Lasting Marriage, Try Marrying Someone Your Own Age

Maybe I’m being thick, but I’m not quite sure what the relevance is of this to the subreddit.

Also, a second point is that the findings miss out some key details:

Is this first marriages (for both partners) only, or second, third, n marriages as well?
At what age were these marriages taking place?

Two divorcees marrying one another who are both aged 42, say, are going to make a difference to the likely longevity of that second marriage compared to a 23 year-old guy marrying an 18 year-old girl straight out of high school, isn’t it? Likewise two 25 year-olds getting married are statistically more likely to end in divorce than a 65 year-old man marrying a 58 year-old woman for the second, third time or whatever.

Strange.

Historically the best marriages had a about a 5 year age gap with the woman being younger.

What's the point in older men hooking up with women who are set in their ways but are close to their own age for the last few years of his, life have little sex and what to be maintained? Not when he can have a couple of young fresh women willing to do anything sexually for money during the same period?

I'm disappointed it didn't go higher. I'm curious at what age difference the percentage starts dropping because the elder spouse dies.

"Lasting marriage", or as I like to call it, "Hell".

Thanks, but no thanks.
