Marital Status and Family Status: March 1970
Report Number P20-212
Husbands and wives who have married since 1965 are more nearly the same age than those who married earlier. Among couples where the wife entered first marriage since the mid-1960's, 7 out of 10 husbands had ages within a 5-year range of the ages of their wives--less than 4 years older and less than 1 year younger ( cover chart and table 12). By comparison, only 6 out of 10 couples where the wife married for the first time before the mid-1960's had ages within the same 5-year range.
