Republicans hate this one trend.
- Look like its headed for a reversal. Come on sugar mama!
  
  My wife is nearly 7 years older than me, and it's great.
  
  I'm helping that trend. On this chart I'd be at -6
  
  The privileged need to be put in their place.
My dad is 12 years older than my mom.
If I'm reading the fine print correctly this is looking at mixed gender marriages currently cohabitating in the given year, not weddings.

I wonder what the average age difference at time of wedding is? Thats going to be a different number than this which will have 40 year long marriages contributing to the 2022 figure.

I guess longer lived marriages be overrepresented because they contribute to the average for more years.
