According to an INSEE study on couples in France, in 56% of cases the man is the oldest and only 8% of couples are more than ten years apart. But mores are changing, even more so because some celebrities have been sending the message for years that a couple's age difference is often only present in administrative records. Because indeed from Harrison Ford, passing by Heidi Klum, Richard Gere or even Jean Dujardin, all these personalities share their life with a much younger person and seem very happy for years. And there are many more, discover them with our slideshow.
So if some couple people prove that a big age difference does not constrain feelings, studies unfortunately prove the opposite. Indeed, according to a study conducted by Emory University of Atlanta on 3,000 married people, the greater the age difference between partners, the greater the risk of divorce (or separation)> . The Emory University of Atlanta study indeed proved that a couple with a 10-year age difference would be 40% more "chance" of breaking up than a couple of the same age. . In the same vein, couples 20 years apart would be 95% more likely to break up quickly . Similarly, a couple 5 years apart sees their chances of breaking up at 18%! According to this study, the ideal age difference in a couple would be… one year!
Results not to be taken at face value because for its part the University of Amparh has in a study - conducted on 3000 couples for 4 years - shown that the ideal age difference in a couple would be 11 years , 5 months and 1 day (if the oldest man) and 11 years, 2 months and 10 (if the oldest woman). And it's not over, according to a 2013 English study by the site confused.com , the ideal age difference in a couple would be 4 years and 4 months, provided that the man is older than the woman. So many analyzes to read with one eye closed and the other half open.
