Marriage & Happiness It could make you happier. According to the National Marriage Project's 2013 "Knot Yet" report, the highest percentage of people ages 20 to 28 who consider themselves "highly satisfied" with their lives are married,An analysis of American Community Survey data from 2008 to 2010 revealed that among men in their mid-30s, those who married in their 20s had the highest levels of personal income.Couples who marry in their 20s tend to have more frequent sex than those who marry later. If there is an ideal age to marry, this is it. People who marry between 23 and 27 years old have the best odds for a long and happy union, according to a new survey by the University of Texas for the National Fatherhood Initiative. Some think the optimum age for marriage can be revealed through mathematics. And what is that age? According to a researcher in Great Britain, the answer is right here: M=Y+(1/e[XY]). That computes to 32 years old for men and 27 years old for women, Some think the optimum age for marriage can be revealed through mathematics. And what is that age? According to a researcher in Great Britain, the answer is right here: M=Y+(1/e[XY]). That computes to 32 years old for men and 27 years old for women, reports London's Evening Standard. This unusual bit of math wizardry is the handiwork of statistician Dennis Lindley, a professor at London's University College. He is confident his formula is so accurate that he says it will save marriages and reduce the divorce rate. If men and women know the optimum age at which to stop playing the field and start settling down, then they won't marry too soon or wait too long and be doomed to a loveless life. This is his mathematical logic, according to the Evening Standard: To find an optimum marriageable age, subtract the earliest age at which you start looking for a partner (the professor assumes 16) from the latest age you would expect to marry (he says 60 for men, 46 for women), multiply it by a logarithmic formula (which works out at 0.36), and then add it again to your starting age. FOR WOMEN: 46-16=30 33 x 0.36=10.8 10.8+16=26.8
FOR MEN: 60-16=44 44 x 0.36=15.84 15.84+16=31.84 Long life Happiness LAHORE PAKISTAN
