Some people are sure that true love knows no boundaries and ages, but what if this expression is not true?

One thing is for sure, most people don't have a clear awareness or understanding of how a truly successful relationship is supposed to work, however, conventional scientists seem to have found the determining factor!
First, a little about research statistics
Emory's private university study involved 3,000 people from around the world. All of these people have been married at least once.

And already at the first stages of this study, the basic theory was easily confirmed that the greater the age difference, the higher the risk of separation.

Of course, there are always certain exceptions, they cannot be ignored, but now we are talking about most people in percentage terms.

The researchers shared more detailed statistics that say that:

The risk of separation for couples with an age difference of more than 5 years is approximately 18%.
If the age difference between a man and a woman is about 10 years, then the risk of separation increases dramatically to 30%.
And for couples with an age difference of 20 years or more, the prognosis is really negative, since the risk of separation is almost 95%.
And by the way, if the partners have a huge difference in education, then the risk of separation is almost 43%!
The researchers studied not only age parameters, but also the presence of children before marriage, the presence of a common child, the duration of the relationship before marriage, wedding expenses, education, and many other factors. Therefore, the final results are quite accurate.

So what is the ideal age difference?
Now about the main thing: the researchers still found the perfect age difference between a man and a woman. And you won't believe it, but it is only 2 years old! And no, this is not a joke!

It is couples with a difference of 2 years that have the greatest chance of staying together, since their probability of separation is less than 3%.

Researchers are sure that the life goals, interests and values of people from different generations are really different! With the growing age gap between men and women, the "understanding gap" is also growing. And if a guy who is only a few years younger or older than a girl still has similar worldviews and interests, then in a more serious age range it will be quite difficult to achieve a similar effect in a relationship.

As we said, of course, there are always exceptions. And numbers are not everything. So, if you are in a relationship with a person who is older or younger than you, then don't worry. The most important things in a relationship are sincere feelings, mutual respect and comfort next to each other. And if your relationship has these ingredients, then you should continue to develop them and hope for the best.
