Is love sweetest at 28? Is love most enduring at 30? Is marriage happiest when the husband is 15 years older than the wife? Many studies abroad have found that love, marriage, happiness... all these beautiful things we all yearn for are actually related to age. Don't think that only the first love at the age of 20 is the best. In fact, at the age of 30, you may know how to enjoy love better.
28-year-old women have the sweetest love
We all agree that women's looks start to decline at the age of 25, and their overall condition also shrinks. However, a recent survey of 4,000 people by the British Daily Telegraph shows that women are at their peak at the age of 28, when they are most confident about their love life and body shape, and feel the happiest about themselves.
The participants of the survey are mostly women aged 25-65. They need to answer 12 key questions in life and at which age they feel most satisfied. The results show that the most satisfied stage is concentrated around 30 years old: at the age of 33, women are most satisfied with their financial situation, at the age of 32, they feel most comfortable with their family life, at the age of 30, they are most satisfied with their interpersonal relationships, at the age of 29, they are most satisfied with their career status, and at the age of 28, they are most satisfied with their sex life.
The combined scores of all ages show that at 28, women have the best hair, the best body shape, the strongest self-confidence, a secure job, a stable income, a sweet love life, and good friends, all of which make 28 the "golden age" for women. But this happiness is relatively short-lived, because once they reach 30, women begin to worry about premature wrinkles.
After reading the conclusion of this survey, if you are over 25 but under 30 and are still worried about the idea of going downhill, you can breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, age is not a problem. The key is to enjoy love!
At 30, people believe in eternity
Marriage is a wonderful thing, but do people really value it? A recent survey in the United States gave such an answer: 44% of Americans said that they do not need a marriage certificate to prove their love or commitment; and the older they are, the less enthusiastic they are about marriage.
The survey was jointly conducted by Zogby International and AOL, with 7,113 Americans aged 20-69 participating. More than half of the respondents aged 20-29 believe that marriage is unnecessary and prefer cohabitation before marriage. Moreover, people in this age group value mutual trust. However, older respondents (over 45 years old) prefer "partner-style relationships" and feel that as long as two people love each other and feel comfortable together, there is no need to get married.
However, the survey also came to an interesting conclusion, that is, most people think that marriage should last forever, especially among those in their 30s, more than 73% of them agree with this view. "This shows that people are very optimistic and cautious about marriage. Marriage lasts longer than love, and it will accompany a person for two-thirds of the rest of his life or even longer."
The happiest marriage is when the husband is 15 years older than his wife
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are 24 years apart, Murdoch and Wendi Deng are 38 years apart, and Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan are 52 years apart. Their happy marriages have also proved to the world that age is not a problem in love. This was also confirmed by a report in the British magazine New Scientist. The report said that a recent Swedish study found that husbands who are 15 years older than their wives have the happiest marriages.
Martin Feder is a professor of sociology at the University of Vienna and the main leader of this study. He and his colleagues analyzed the Swedish population data in 2006 and found that more than 90% families have husbands older than their wives. Among them, the difference of two or three years is the most common, followed by six or seven years.
The study found that if the husband is 4-6 years older than the wife, they can have the most children, and the next generation is smarter and healthier than others. If the wife is older than the husband, no matter how much the difference is, the number of children she has is smaller. And if the husband is 15 years older than the wife, the marriage life is the happiest.
Martin Feder pointed out that the combination of an old man and a young wife is most consistent with human genetic characteristics. "In layman's terms, older men are more caring and have a certain economic foundation. Marrying them can lead a more stable life and avoid many family disputes. In addition, in 2001, we conducted a survey on nomadic peoples who still retain ancient traditions and found that older men are more competitive, and women sometimes like such men."
