I don't know the stats on that, but can say there *are* people who marry young *and* older who don't take their vows seriously.
***Kind of interesting so I'll go on. Do you think(talking generally here) that marriages work better/less/no effect when both are the same age? I think the guy needs to be older(seasoned) to be a good provider.***
How about working together? Being poor as paupers but working together to make a precious life together? My husband and I were both 30 when we married. We both had great jobs, homes, etc. But...we say now that we would have much preferred to have married younger and worked toward what we had at that time. Clear as mud?
***A lot is expected from the man and he will benefit from some "sowing of oats"(personally and professionally) while the same is not true of the woman.***
How about experiencing excellent intimacy together ... learning and experimenting together rather than practicing on other women to become proficient enough for your future wife...?! What a precious and incredibly exciting gift to give each other!
I'm not talking about "practicing on other women". I mean a guy needs to find out what he likes and doesn't like. Why, because I believe nature's role for him is of provider. And when that isn't being played out, things go arye. Personally, I desire a woman who is motivated on running the family day to day. A huge job that I don't have the temperament for. I'll make the cash, she makes herself and others happy.
