Whats the average age of successful newly married couples?

Answer 1

well in my opinion I think it is the older couples in the 30-60 age group. They have had life experience good or bad. They have a better idea what they are looking for and are more mature and loving mates. They have learned to stand up for their rights and learned to compromise to keep the relationship together. They have a deeper understanding of love and not so much looks and lust.

Answer 2

That is an oxymoron. How can you gauge the success of a couple who has just been married? Things are always wonderful in the beginning. It's later, when life happens to you and the going gets REALLY rough that you are tested, and even later still before a real determination can be made of whether or not a relationship is "successful".

Or perhaps your question is more, "At what age do successful couples marry?" Not an easy question either since the word "successful" is open to interpretation.

Do you mean non-divorced couples or couples where both partners say they are truly happy? How long do they have to be together before they can be considered "successfully happy and still married?"

What about the effects of country and culture? In many cultures, girls are married at a young age to a man selected by their parents and with whom they spend the remainder of their lives. Does it count towards the average age if she was married at 17 to a man she didn't love? What if 60 years later they're still married and she appreciates and respects him and has even grown to care for him deeply but she never truly fell in love with him? Is that successful? Or what if 60 years later they aren't married anymore. Is it because she was too young or because her parents influenced her to marry a man she did not care for?

There is no age alone that is a predictor of success in marriage. Each relationship is unique and has to be evaluated on its own merit. You could find an average I suppose. But that wouldn't necessarily mean anything to any specific couple.

Finally, this statistic means nothing by itself... what if you were to put it aside the average marrying age of all divorced couples... what might it tell you then?

My point is that there is no way to calculate the answer to your question with any degree of certainty that the number truly represents what your question implies... that people who marry at a certain age have a better chance of success in marriage.

Answer 3

Those who marry over the age of 25, have the most successful marriages.

Answer 4

I was married at 24...divorced at 34. I would say that the older the couple the better. They've had time to sow their wild oats.

Answer 5

Don't know. But, women shouldn't get married until minimum of 25 and men should be at least 30 or older. Before that you aren't mature enough to understand the consequences of getting married and living together FOREVER. People tend to forget that part.

Answer 6

Late twenties to early thirties
