Does anyone know what the statistics on the most successful marriage is?

I was reading a novel and it said that they were marriages with the woman 8 years older than the guy, but I’ve never heard about that! Any other info?

I dunno but I’ve heard that couples where the woman is the better-looking one in the relationship are usually more successful.

Think about this rationally for a second!

What you are saying is that the SINGLE most important factor in a healthy relationship is that the girl be 8 years older than the guy?

It that’s true, should I be dating 14-year-olds?

Pfft. Nope, don’t believe it. Wives tale. (no pun intended) Besides, if a woman was to date someone younger than her, it might as well be child abuse. LOL.

In lots of cases of extreme age differences, there are emotional needs. It’s not necessarily a wise thing.

Is there a reason why it’s child abuse if a woman does it and not if a guy does it? Honestly, I’ve seen a ton of marriages with 10-18 years age difference with the guy being older. Why is that okay?
