Cause and effect are always tough to sort out in these studies. Do men live longer because they marry younger women or are younger women attracted to healthy fit men who will live longer. Do healthy people who exercise live longer or do healthy people who are going to live longer find it easier to exercise?Marrying a Younger Woman Helps Men Live Longer – HealthGuidance.org

"Recent studies have unleashed a jaw-dropping verdict that one of the secrets to longevity is to marry someone younger than your age or of your same age. Researchers conclude that men live longer if they marry younger women. According to this report, men marrying women 15 or 17 years younger than them reduce their chances of premature death by one fifth. The same study suggests that men reduce their chances of premature death by at least 11% by choosing wife seven to nine years younger than them. On the other hand, choosing an older wife would mean increasing one’s chances of premature death by 11%."
Since 15 to 17 years was good, I went with a 20 year gap since bigger IS usually better. Chasing my wife around is what I do for exercise
