Relationship Advice: How Age Difference Affects Married Life
How does the age difference between a man and a woman affect married life? What does the age difference between spouses mean? What does it promise for the relationship? According to the Avestan astrological tradition (Avesta is the sacred book of the ancient Iranians), the New Year begins on March 21, when the Sun enters the sign of Aries.
Therefore, if one partner was born before March 21 of any year, and the other after March 21, the age difference of both partners should be reduced by one year. If both partners were born after March 21, the age difference is determined by simply subtracting the years lived. It is customary to round the difference to a year if it is no more than three months, i.e. 1 year and 10 months is 2 years, and 2 years and 8 months is still 2 years, etc.
How does the age difference between a man and a woman affect married life:
Age difference 1 year
– strong business relationships are formed. Such partnerships help to strengthen the financial situation. It is good to enter into such a marriage of convenience.
Age difference 2 years
— gives an illusory form of connection. Marriage can exist only on a spiritual basis and common interests. In the case of simple emotional attachment, the initial attraction often later turns into hostility, and the marriage can fall apart.
Age difference 3 years
— leads to very tense relationships built on struggle and rivalry. This couple’s relationship is often on the edge, on the line. In addition, one of the partners usually bears a heavy burden of trials and temptations, and is often ready to slander their other half.
Age difference is 4 years
— gives many chances for a more or less harmonious marriage, built on friendship, mutual assistance, cooperation. But, alas, time can change relationships for the worse.
The age difference is 5 and 10 years
— this is not a chance meeting. There is a karmic connection between the partners, requiring the working off of mutual debts. Karma keeps them close to each other; they must go through life in one direction, but at the same time one of them must be the leader, the other – the follower.
The age difference is 6 and 9 years
— gives a very difficult form of relationship. In this union, trials, struggle, intrigues, and plots from the closest relatives are inevitable. Such a union is good for people who find a quiet family life boring, for thrill-seekers.
The age difference is 7 and 14 years
— gives the most mysterious relationship between partners. In family life — continuous secrets, misunderstanding, inability to agree. Someone from the outside will constantly interfere in marital relations. Manifestations of the evil eye, damage are possible. Such a relationship is unpredictable and it is unknown what it can lead to: either to degeneration or to an internal breakdown. Such unions are good for a secret love affair.
Age difference is 8 years
— gives spiritual comfort and the most harmonious form of marriage. The union of partners is based on deep affection and mutual assistance. Stability of relations, confidence in each other help to reveal their creative beginning. And this further contributes to the creation of a happy and prosperous marriage.
Age difference is 11 years
— leads to the most unpredictable consequences. The partners develop a relationship of the type: “all or nothing!” Constant changes, a persistent struggle for leadership, incessant criticism of each other are possible. This marriage has one good feature – the irreconcilable couple can start all over again at any time.
Age difference of 12 years
— huge difficulties in mutual understanding and interaction of partners, leading to a very high unreliability of marriage. The union can start well and then fall apart with a bang. It is strange and dual. One of the partners usually always creates obstacles on the path of development of the other. The consequences of such a union can be the most severe and terrible (up to murder).
Age difference is 13 years
— leads to interference of supernatural forces in the relations of partners. The relationship is clear, predictable, missionary, leading to spiritual rebirth, transformation of consciousness, clarification. This is the “path to heaven”, the road to spiritual heights or… the “path of death”, that is, degradation.
Age difference of 15 years
— gives the strongest karmic attraction. Such people will never separate. But there is one trap on their path: they either help each other choose the right path in life, or, on the contrary, knock their partner off it, thus increasing his karmic debts in the next lives.
Age difference 16 years
— creates the so-called mirror relationship, partners complement each other. Relationships between them can be built according to the “teacher – student” scheme. But if love turns into hatred, it will lead to a “war” without any pity and indulgence. Age difference of less than 9 months (remember: more than 9 months is already 1 year) — a very conservative, without movement and change, but stable connection is established between partners.
Relationships between people with an age difference of 17 years are the same as those with a one-year age difference, with an 18-year age difference – the same as with a 2-year age difference, etc. Here you just need to subtract 16 from the number of years difference. Don’t forget about the “March 21 rule” and the “rounding to the nearest year rule”.
Many people believe that marriages are made in heaven. However, if this were true, would there be so many men of different ages who prefer to marry young beauties? But there are many seventy- and even eighty-year-old old men who would not mind marrying a young girl.
Many are interested in the question of what age difference between a man and a woman can be considered normal
So what is the normal age difference between a man and a woman? This question has interested psychologists and doctors in different countries. For example, in Finnish families it is believed that for the birth of healthy offspring the age difference between spouses should be at least fifteen years.
However, in reality, everything looks a little different. There are not so many “proper” families in Finland. On average, a Finnish husband is only 3 years older than his wife. Finnish scientists believe that this is one of the reasons why not so many healthy babies are born.
In Sweden, the Finns’ statements are not trusted. Should a man with adult s+xual needs really wait another 15 years for his young girlfriend to mature? The Swedes, having studied a large number of married couples, decided that the age difference between a man and a woman should be less than 6 years. And, what is most surprising, the main criterion for choosing a life partner was not love, but the material well-being of the spouses. That is, the ideal partner for marriage is a man with a good income, a permanent and interesting job. And love is secondary.
The English have a similar view of age differences. However, they were interested in another question. Does the intellectual level of men affect the health of their children? These studies led English scientists to an interesting result – the smarter the man, the more likely his children are to be born healthy.
