"If this gap is significantly larger, then certain problems may arise in the marriage," the specialist notes.

According to the sexologist, peers and partners with a small age gap usually have common interests and values. They have about the same level of physical health.

However, spouses of the same age usually divorce more often if they marry young. Vilkov cites student families as an example.

"The newlyweds are united by a common study, they have one goal — to get an education. But now the university is behind them, the couple have matured, their characters have changed. The familiar environment is also changing. In new conditions, people sometimes behave in such a way that their behavior and lifestyle do not always suit their partner. All this leads to a crisis in the couple and increases the risk of separation, " says Vilkov.

From the point of view of a sexologist, peer partners have more chances for a stable and stable marriage if they form a family union after graduation. A stable and stable union is created, for example, by colleagues at work.
