Why do people tend to marry those similar in age?

[Anonymous]

The man is usually at the same age of the woman or a few years older. Most married couples are a few years apart. Is there a reason why people tend to marry those similar in age

[LazerBean]

Because they are in similar stages in life, will more likely have similar goals, similar experiences, similar interests, and plus they probably men in school or something where they are more likely to get with someone similar in age anyway
