Huh
Well, the husband and I got it backwards, as I was 32 and he was 27, but we did in fact hit the target ages! What are the odds?
"Why 32+27=A Perfect Marriage
Finding the perfect partner is only part of the equation for a perfect marriage. Turns out that if you want a life of wedded bliss, you must also marry at the optimum age.
And what is that age? According to a researcher in Great Britain, the answer is right here: M=Y+(1/e[X-Y]). That computes to 32 years old for men and 27 years old for women, reports London's Evening Standard.
This unusual bit of math wizardry is the handiwork of statistician Dennis Lindley, a professor at London's University College. He is confident his formula is so accurate that he says it will save marriages and reduce the divorce rate. If men and women know the optimum age at which to stop playing the field and start settling down, then they won't marry too soon or wait too long and be doomed to a loveless life."

FOR WOMEN:
*geek alert*
WOMEN
46-16=30
33 x 0.36=10.8
10.8+16=26.8
If you look at line two of the MEN's example, he's supposed to multiply 30*.36 to give you 10.8, not 33.
If a mathematician is making money doing math, he shouldn't write about it. :)
Good eye . . . at least the result was right!
Bwahahaha! Peachy & her math. :)
so... i should've married a 10 year old??? :P
