The best age gap between husband and wife

A European study found that if a man is 4-6 years older than his wife, he will have the most children; and if a man is 15 years older than his wife, although he will have fewer children, he will have the happiest marriage.

1. Marriages are happiest when the man is five years older

According to a survey conducted by European scientists, age is a key factor affecting the stability of marriage. Dr. Emmanuel Frannier of the University of Bath in the UK conducted a follow-up survey on 1,534 couples.

The results show that the best couple model that can strongly maintain a marriage is that both men and women have received higher education and have no history of divorce, and the man is more than 5 years older than the woman. Researchers say wives who are more than five years younger than their husbands are least likely to have a relationship

For age combinations that create conflicts, their divorce rate is 1/6 of that of other marriages.

In addition, a study by the University of Vienna found that if the husband is 4-6 years older than the wife, they will have the most children; and if the husband is 15 years older than the wife, although the number of children they have is small, the marriage life is the happiest.

2. Couples of the same age are better at communicating.

In addition to the "male five years older than the male", "same-age love" marriages are also good! Yue Xiaodong, associate professor of the Department of Social Sciences at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, believes that same-age love is not the same age as we understand it, but rather the two people are of the same age.

They are basically of the same generation. Wang Guorong pointed out that boys and girls of the same age means that the male and female are the same age or the male is less than 3 years older than the female. It can be said that in the minds of modern people, this marriage model is very ideal.

The basis of same-age love is the psychological and physiological coordination between the two lovers. This kind of marriage is the most sustainable and has six major benefits. First, it is easy to establish intimate relationships. Second, the interactions are frequent. The third is synchronization

growing up. Fourth, the demands are consistent. Fifth, support from relatives and friends. Sixth, equality and confidence. In short, lovers of the same age have similar social experiences, and they tend to be of one mind when encountering life problems. Long-term adjustment will make both sides think in the same direction.

They are in sync with each other and form a common cognitive pattern.

"Although there are many advantages to men and women being of the same age, it is precisely because of equality that some problems may arise." Couples of the same age are prone to competition for power because they are too focused on equality, and may often fight over "who has the final say."
