E If a wife for 5 or more years younger than her husband, and smart enough, their marriage has the potential to persist for many years. If the spouses before their marriage had no divorce, it is even more strengthens and stabilizes the relationship perspective.

These data were published in the European Journal of Operational Research, after a detailed study of more than 1,500 couples who are married or have a serious relationship. The study showed that the chances of divorce are higher by more than three times if the wife was five or more years older than her husband, as compared with couples of the same age.

  According to Dr. Emmanuel Frakniere and colleagues, men and women are driven by physical attraction, love, common interests and views. Factors considered in the study - the age and education level - can affect the number of divorces .

According to doctors, the secret lies in the fact that a smart woman can make a man feel fit. If she is smart enough it will never try to look smarter than her husband. Even if it is completely self-sufficient, the husband does not have to know what his wife is an independent and sovereign. A man must feel the head of the family, protector and breadwinner. "This is the main secret of a happy marriage," - said Frakniere.
