Gina Marie Guarino, a licensed mental health counselor, believes that the greater the age difference, the higher the chances that a man and woman will face difficulties in their relationship.
Up to 5 years
According to researchers, the best age difference is one year. It has been proven that the probability of separation in such couples is negligible - it is only 3%.
In addition, there is evidence that couples in which the man is 1-3 years older than his partner have the highest level of relationship satisfaction.
Up to 7 years
This time gap is important in situations where the girl is 18 and the young man is 25. By this time, the man has already finished his studies, defined his life priorities and is ready to start a family. The girl has yet to go through these stages.
However, the older a man and woman become, the less noticeable the seven-year difference becomes.
Up to 10 years
If the age difference between partners is ten years or more, the probability that they will break up is 39%. If the age difference reaches 20 years, the chances of breaking up increase to 95%.
Sven Drefal, a PhD candidate at Stockholm University, conducted an analysis of age-differing couples and found that women live shorter lives if their spouses are older, while men live longer.
