[quote=Anonymous]Age doesn’t matter for long term marriages. “Scientists find that women tend to be more satisfied with younger husbands and less satisfied with older husbands. Interestingly, men likewise tend to be more satisfied with younger wives and less satisfied with older wives. Marital satisfaction declines with marital duration for both men and women in differently-aged couples relative to those in similarly-aged couples. These relative declines erase the initial higher levels of marital satisfaction experienced by men married to younger wives and women married to younger husbands within 6 to 10 years of marriage. A possible mechanism is that differently-aged couples are less resilient to negative shocks compared to similarly-aged couples, which is supported by evidence. “[/quote]
