If most women out live there husbands, is it because men marry much younger women, especially if it is 2nd or?

Question

3rd marriage. On the second marriage men might marry at least 10 years younger, on the third maybe 15-20 years younger???

Answer 1

Women on average live about seven years longer than men. Men on average marry a woman three years younger than themselves. As a result a woman has about a 70% likelihood of outliving her spouse.

Due to the factor you illustrate (that older men tend to marry significantly younger women) those odds climb to about 80% for a woman who marries a 50 year-old-man.

Answer 2

thats not really the reason.A man and woman can be the same age and the man will still die before the woman,it happens most all the time..Women usually out lives their husbands because women take better care of themselves..its true on the second and third marriages the man marries a younger woman because they think they are really doing something and it makes them feel young to marry a younger woman.In that case yes the women do out live their husbands. most always...if a man wants to marry a woman a little older than him to start with,like the first marriage chances are then they would live around the same time and usually die around the same time.He would be a winner in a marriage like that to start with because the woman makes a better wife if she is a litttle older than the man,about a 8-10 difference.in age,and they can both be togeather all their life and die about the same time,it is easier that way because the mate is not left alone and be lonely.If men would do this it would be good,but men are mostly to vain to do this...

I'm sorry you have had to go through all of this pain of the first relationship and the loss of your son. You sound like a very nice person who has had some bad breaks in life and deserves so much more. I do have a question for you though. How do you know that the baby girl is yours if your ex was sleeping around with other men? Have you had any blood tests done to be sure the child is yours? I also think you should get into couples counseling with your wife to try to help the two of your communicate better and learn ways to deal with the ex situation. Is there any way to bring your son here without the mother? Would the mother give you custody of the child? I hope everything will work out for you!

Answer 4

women marry older men because they know they have done all the running the bar and things like that and are ready to settle down.

Answer 5

Men worries more than women though they never complain. Physically and mentally men are more worn-out and that's why we tend to die before women.

Answer 6

No it's because men are horny ******'s and spend their life lying and cheating and pretending to be a good husband, so naturally they go to hell a lot faster than you

The average lifespan for women is longer than it is for men.
