The best age to get married according to math theory

best age to get married

According to a new math theory, people should marry around the age of 26 since it is the best time for them to find a life partner.

Computer science of human decisions, Tom Griffiths and Brian Christian claimed in their book Algorithms to Live By wrote that the optimal age to commit to a life partner is 26.

The rule dictates that once you’re 37% of the way through completing something within a set timeframe, then you have reached the perfect point at which to decide, The Independent reported.

If the average person is looking for their perfect match between the ages of 18-40, then 26 is the ideal age, because you’re 37% of the way through the 22 years.

According to this theory, if you’re any younger or older than 26, you’re going to argue too much and it just won’t work out.

If you want to get technical though, searching for that special someone is known as an “optimal stopping problem.” With over 1,000 possibilities, Christian and Griffiths explain that you should stop at 36.81% of the way through.

Just a heads up, if you’ve got more options, you can get way closer to 37%, because you’ll have lots more opportunity to reach 37% bang on, so be sure to play the field.

University of Utah sociologist Nicholas. H. Wolfinger goes against this theory though, as he discovered in July 2015 that the best age to get married in order to avoid divorce was 28-32, which is more like 45%.

According to a UK publication, the rule of 37% isn’t perfect, because it doesn’t really account for the fact that our tastes may change between the ages of 18-40, and we may be looking for something different.
