In response to the report on the marriage market of January 12th, a correspondent offers another of the so-called “universal truths”: the optimal age gap between bride and groom.
- The proposed rule is B = G/2 + 7, where B and G are the ages of the bride and groom, respectively, at the time of marriage.
- The writer says it was provided by a mathematician friend and its accuracy appears to be corroborated by the Princeton study.
- It is presented in light of the marriage market report of January 12th, as astrophysicists and biochemists continue to unravel the secrets of the origin of the universe.
The formula proposed
Sir,
As astrophysicists and biochemists continue to unravel the secrets of the origin of the universe, and in light of your report on the marriage market of January 12th, I believe it is now appropriate to reveal another of the so-called “universal truths”: the optimal age gap between bride and groom.
B = G/2 + 7 — where B and G correspond to the age of the bride and groom, respectively, at the time of marriage.

The rule was provided by a mathematician friend of mine and its accuracy appears to be corroborated by the Princeton study.
