Researchers at the Geneva School of Business have developed a formula to increase the chances of having a lasting and happy marriage by up to 20%. It is based on a variety of factors that tend to influence most marriages: age, cultural background, and intelligence. Ideally, the husband should be five years older than the wife and they should share the same cultural background, but the wife should be approximately 27% more intelligent than the husband, although a range of 13% to 35% more intelligent is acceptable , according to these researchers.

One pop culture formula for determining whether it’s appropriate to be in an intimate relationship with someone is the rule of half your age plus seven. For example, according to this rule, a person who is 30 would be fine to be in a relationship with someone who is 22, but no younger.
There is also a formula to find the ideal age to propose. To calculate this, a person takes the oldest age she would consider married (A) and then subtracts the youngest age she would like to get married (B). Then multiply the result by 0.368 and add the result to B.
The marriage rate of those over 18 in the United States decreased by 5% between 2009 and 2010, falling to about 51%.
