Ideal age gap for a relationship if you want it to last

“The heart wants what to heart wants” and “age is just a number” are well-versed clichés – and you just can’t help who you fall head over heels for.

According to a study conducted by Emory University in Atlanta, the bigger the difference, the bigger the chance of separation.
quote:
After analyzing 3,000 people, it found that couples with a five-year age gap are 18 percent more likely to split up than those of the same age.
quote:
Interestingly, that figure rose to 39 percent for couples with a 10-year age gap and a shocking 95 percent for those with a 20-year age gap.
quote:
So, just how big is too big of an age difference?
quote:
Contrary to popular belief, researchers believe that the sweet spot lies in just a one-year gap between spouses who have a much smaller chance of separation at just three percent.

40/2+7=27 statistically doesn't work long-term, but short-term, it might feel superb.
30

Gotta get in a relationship before you can worry about keeping the relationship.

Because at some point the guy who was a decent looking 40 yr old is an old fart and the woman is still pretty young and attractive.
In all seriousness, I do think people who are generally in the same phase of life probably have an easier marriage. I realize there are tons of exceptions to any sort of stat like this.

Those numbers aren't raw probabilities.

...doesn't mean 95% chance of separation. It means nearly double the chance of separation than couples of the same age.
Not a great stat, but doesn't mean you're 95% doomed.

10-15% if you are young. 25% if you are older than 35.
Posted on 4/22/24 at 6:28 pm to Will Cover
I think no more than 7 years.
Posted on 4/22/24 at 6:54 pm to Will Cover
Is that first go round or second go round marriages?

Dont marry a whore and it goes down exponentially

There is only one gap that matters
Posted on 4/22/24 at 7:01 pm to Will Cover
I say about 10 years

The woman should be half the man's age + 7 years. So says the honorable Elijah Muhammed - and if it's good enough for the Nation of Islam, it's good enough for me.

CAD, can I get your wife's number before y'all get divorced?
Posted on 4/22/24 at 7:41 pm to Will Cover
Have to love made up statistics. They should have made it something more believable because given ~50% of all marriages end in seperation/divorce, that number being 3% is completely absurd. It's blatant things like this that make people start to realize the news isn't for reporting, it's real purpose is to push an agenda and mandate or modify public policy. And that leads to apathy and a loss of trust

In my line of work i often see elderly couples who have been married for decades. Most are near the same age and met in high school or college, and come from similar backgrounds. The more similar 2 people are, the more likely it is to work long-term.

I agree here with the stats. After about 4 years things start charging and before you know it you don’t know a rap artist pre 2004

Depends on your bank account.
Honestly. 10-12 years gap between the two?
Maybe less? Find someone that actually wants to be with you each day. If you feel like you can be with that person each day also, be honest with each other and live life together.
Actually no one knows how things actually turns out.

Imagine being 20 years old and getting in a relationship with a 45 year old who is smoking hot.
But then when you are 35 she is 60, which might not be that bad, but then at 45 she is 70.. If she kicks the bucket at that age, then you can get yourself a girl who is 25ish.. and that might be the way to do this thing.

Once you're an older successful dude, it's cheaper to rent it.
