- Even a five-year age difference makes a couple 18 percent more likely to get divorced, compared to a couple born on or around the same year.

Sorry. I think these "findings" are weak and circumstantial. I'm involved with an older woman and our generational distance, while entertaining and enlightening to us, is not an issue. Age should not be confused with maturity, which I believe is the real antagonist at work here.Statistics, of course, are not destiny.

I'm not buying too much into increased rates up to a certain point. Once you get into decades apart though, I can see a generational gap being an issue. I feel you'd be far less likely to find somebody that you have things in common with or can truly connect to when growing up in different times. I'm not saying this is this case for everyone, but I can see it increasing divorce rates.
