Age difference should not play any role in your happiness. However, this is not really the case, as research has shown that age difference is an important pillar of a relationship.
In addition to age differences, it definitely plays an important role in the success of love emotional maturity of partners. And how much is the most appropriate age difference?
Emory University research, which covered three thousand couples, showed that the ideal difference between the two partners one year or that there is no age difference at all, because with the age difference the probability of the breakup of the relationship increases exponentially. Psychologists have found that in couples where the partner is only one year apart, the probability of divorce is only three percent. With a five-year difference, the probability of the breakup of the relationship is already 18%, and with ten, it is already 39%. If there is a difference between them 20 years, the relationship is practically doomed, as research has shown that it is breaking up 95 percent such partners.
Statistically speaking, therefore, couples with a larger age difference have more chances to breakup of the relationship like couples who grow closer over the years. One of the reasons is that partners with a larger age difference have a different view of the world, different values, different tastes... and sex also plays an important role. Libido it is stronger in women over the years, while in men it dries up. It is an interesting fact that they have couples who last more than two years together, a much better—40 percent—chance of staying together and that regardless of age.
