Age gap between husbands and wives in the United States.

What's wild is that in 1880 it was probably ~14 yo girls and ~19 yo guys getting married.

..And in 2022 it's probably ~28 and ~30 year olds.

I'm not American. However, my ex wife was 6 years older than me, and my now and forever wife is 5 years younger than me.

I don't know if that means anything, but, that 11 year age difference between them is real. They are literally from different generations in terms of their mentality, expectations, goals, etc.

Has been interesting.

So in another 115 years they’ll be the same agar?

I’m not sure if this is good or bad.

I imagine a lot of this could be explained by population growth, and physical and social mobility. There are flat out more people around so it's easier to find a partner you don't hate. There are also more people who are socially acceptable and accessible.
