This is the ideal age for couples

For some, age is just a number, for others it is synonymous with a toxic relationship.
The age gap in a relationship continues to spark debate, a significantly younger or older partner is often justified by love, but sometimes love cannot sustain everything, even a relationship.
If we had to advise someone about the ideal age for a partner, we would naturally say that what is more important than anything else is someone's personality, the way they behave and how they make you feel, and not age.
But when it comes to our relationships, both men and women tend to prefer someone their own age, yet they are open to partners with an age difference of up to 10-15 years (both more and less). Love may not be about age, but a small difference in a couple would still be beneficial for the longevity of the relationship, according to new research.
According to a study conducted by Emory University in Atlanta, the greater the age gap, the greater the likelihood of a breakup. However, at the same time, they state that a gap of one year is the "sweet spot," meaning the most ideal option.
After analyzing 3,000 people, it was discovered that couples with a five-year age difference were 18 percent more likely to break up compared to couples of the same age. This is because closeness in age means you face almost the same desires, goals, and concepts for the future.
Imagine a 25-year-old woman who is in a relationship with a 32-year-old man who has graduated from university, has a job, and has filled some of the gaps that the 25-year-old has in her life.
Without departing from this idea, imagine the goals of both of them for the future. In the girl's head, the idea of career, profession, and work predominates, while in the 32-year-old man's mind, that of family, children, and being a father.
It is precisely these distant thoughts that spark the first sparks of debates that end in separation.
For these reasons, contrary to popular opinion, researchers believe that the ideal is a one-year age difference between spouses and they have a much lower chance of separating, which amounts to only three percent.
