In many respects, it depends on your gender, age, and health.

What difference in age do men and women prefer?

The OKCupid dating team has analyzed the user's search history and found that women tend to look for partners of their age or a couple of years older. And men, regardless of how old they are, try to build relationships with women who are about twenty.

In women, the preferred age difference does not change during life. But the older a man becomes, the greater the difference in age with a partner, he is ready to agree.

A significant age difference can damage the relationship

One of the studies conducted in the United States showed that couples with a difference of fewer than 5 years fall apart by 18% less frequently than others. However, the existence of a direct relationship between age and the percentage of divorce scientists could not prove. Perhaps it's not so much in the difference between partners as in the personal qualities characteristic of people who prefer unequal marriages in terms of age.

Men a big age difference is more profitable than women

Swedish researchers found that men whose spouses are much younger, on average, live longer. At the same time, women who are much older than their husbands die earlier than those who have a small age difference with a partner.

Scientists from the UK have found that marriages between women over 30 and men who are under 10 or more years old, often end in divorce.

What is the difference in age is ideal

There is no universal answer to the question of what the difference in age between spouses should be. It is best not to pay attention to prejudice and act as you want. Personal happiness is not determined by how old you and your loved one are.
