What is the best age difference between wife and husband?

Answer 1

There isn't one. It is all based on the two people in the marriage.

Answer 2

There is no best age difference. It is about how the two react to one another, how they treat eachother and wether or not you can hold an actualy conversation with them. There are plenty of people out there that have made huge age differences work, there are also people out there that haven't. I wouldn't look at the age between two people (unless the one person is over 18 and the other is under 16) but rather the way that they are with each other. Age is just a number. My brother is 22 and his best friend is almost 40, I know that isn't a marriage but friendship is a relationship.

Answer 3

Like some of the answers, it just depends on the two people. In the past I dated a person who was 12 years older then me, and it didn't work out because he was not at all mature. I have also dated people closer to my own age and that didn't work out either.
I met a man 8 years "younger" than me and we fell in love and got married. This is my first and last marriage and it's actually the best relationship I have ever had. He keeps me feeling young and we have lots and lots of fun. He is my best friend and I think that is important. I think he enjoys it to that I look his age. LOL! Yes, it does have it's hard times because some stuff he is experiencing I have all ready been through. But, in a really cool way we compliment each other. As with everything...Anything worth having is worth working for. It's not the movies or tv where everything can be worked out in 30 minutes. But you both have to be equally willing to work at it.

I hope this helps...

Answer 4

There isn't a best age difference - there is a best mind difference. That's when you have a similiar enough idea of what you want out of the marriage to agree on most things, but also have dissimiliar views on some on the less major things so you can extend and grow each other.

Answer 5

No perfect match or suggestion for age gap between husband and wife. It depends on these two, husband and wfe how they treat each other and respect each other. It does not matter if the man is older than his wife, or the wife is older than her husband as long as they have too much respect to each other at all times their relationship will prosper longer.

The two should have mutual love, respect and understanding between them two for staying longer their relationship.

Answer 6

Truthfully, I do not believe that there is a standard, best age between husband and wife. It all has to do with compatability, maturity, values etc.

Answer 7

WOW , my grandparents was 17 yrs,they're married 72 years!! My 2nd wife was 10 yrs, too much diffence, depends on the people, but will she want to work 4 15 years after yu retire!! Will you want to go to her high school reunion,looking like her DADDY! I'd believe 5-6years difference,is about rite!!

Answer 8

The wife should be half the man's age plus 7.

Answer 9

im 20 and my husband will be 27 this month....there is no right age..some will say max 4, some 6, some will even say should be same age. depends on you and partner and how mature you both are at that age.

Answer 10

As close as possible, but if there must be an age difference, then the woman should be older. The male lifespan is shorter. I know a bunch of ladies who are widows.

Answer 11

It depends on the husband and wife.
