[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^No particular age.[/quote]

It isn't the age.  It's the personality and character of the guy.  I was 37 when I got married in large part because I didn't meet the right person until I was 34.  We have been happily married for 11.5.  My best friend was 39 when he finally found the right person.  He was looking for a long time and found the wrong match a few times, but finally eharmony matched him with the right life partner.  Happily going on 7+ years.  I have another friend who just got married at 41 because he finally found the right person.  Again, a good match.

The high rate of divorce is largely due to some people who have some soft of artificial standard for when they have to be married by and then end up married to the wrong person for the wrong reasons.  Some of us waited for the right person and have not yet become another statistic.[/quote]

Question for you, PP: when your friends finally found the right person later in life, where their partners significantly younger than them?[/quote]

My wife is slightly older than me.  My best friend's wife is about 6 years younger (they are in their 40's so I don't think that's too big a difference).  I have no idea how old the 41 yo friend's new wife is but from pictures, I would guess she's somewhere in her 30's possible mid-to-late 30's, so not too far.  I could be wrong.

But I will say that in all three of our cases, we were older single never-married guys and each of our spouses are divorced second-time brides.  I still think that some people get so worried about their age and rush to marry the wrong person and some people wait to marry the right person.  For some reason, I know a lot of very happy marriages between first-time husbands and second-time wives.[/quote]
