PoBronson.com - Blog: Will This Marriage Last? – Opposites Attract, But Do They Stay Married? |
 | | Traditionally, men marry at older ages than women, because they are supposed to have finished their education and secured a "breadwinner" role before they marry, whereas less women were going to school, and they didn't need to establish a career, since they were going to be homemakers. |
 | | Thus, age is traditionally a somewhat heterogamous factor in marriage: the husband is usually a few years older than the wife. |
 | | Or, the couple may marry educationally heterogamous, because one of the partners hasn't finished school yet, but they may eventually become educationally homogamous, as that partner finishes school. |
