I'm not sure it is helpful to give anacdotal evidence one way or the other when it comes to statistical findings. There are, of course, too many factors that go into whether your particular marriage will fall into the 50% of marriages that last or the other 50%. I find this sort of research more helpful in anticipating potential problems so they can be managed as they arise. For the record: JV is exactly one month older than me, he is smarter in some ways, we had a great first year, at ten years we still have a great relationship, I handle a lot of the childcare and he handles a lot of the income. I thought the last point about the division of labor was interesting as I watched my parents' generation use the line "50-50" and saw that not work out so well. It encourages peope to put a value on their contribution to the marriage and household and most people conclude that the otherr party isn't doing enough. "I make a little less but he leaves the toilet seat up and never does the dishes." I find that attitude to be corrosive.
My wife & I have been together for 11 years. She is 5 years younger than me and dumb as f@ck. She is also not a member of the BBS.
that is because those hot actresses hit their 30s and started getting old. beyonce is still grade AAA booty and jay-Z is richer and way cooler than most ballers.
Of course older guys want to bang younger, uncomplicated hotter chicks... Will it last longer, who knows, but they'll be thankful for a younger chick wanting to bang the crap out of them, even if they're wallet makes them more good looking, just like modern family...
Hmm so I am 19 years old, I suppose I shouldn't waste my time with women above or on my age group, I should be asking 14 year old girls out. btw, what is the top ranked high school in Texas? Gotta have them smart too
