Disputes about what age is considered ideal for marriage, do not end. In Europe and the United States, the brides and groom are actively "aging": increasingly formalize relations people from 35 years and older. It is considered to believe that to create a family need to mature and morally and financially. In our country, many still suffer to celebrate the 30th anniversary, without having an official spouse. Be that as it may, British researchers decided to find out what age is optimal for marriage from a scientific point of view. Journalist Brian Christian and the Cognivist Scientist Tom Griffiths recently released a book in which the so-called "rule of 37%" appears. It is it that, according to the authors, will help everyone to do everything on time.
So, at what age should go to the registry office, according to Christian and Griffiths? At 26 years old. True, this figure is conditional - it is calculated according to the following algorithm: People begin to marry or marriage, people begin to think (according to the authors) aged 18 to 40 years. And the best time to conclude a marriage is 37% of the entire period. At the same time, Christian and Griffiths considered the gap at 22 years (from 18 to 40 years) minus the same 37%. If you started to think about creating a family not at 18 years old, and later, then your "ideal" age for marriage, respectively, shifts. And the Griffiths is confident that finding a partner for life after 26 years, of course, perhaps, but every year the likelihood of creating a happy family is reduced.
