Survey Results - Second Question

[Dan]

Results for this question are derived from the following questions in the survey:

A007: What was your age when you married?
A021: What was your spouse's age when you married?

Segregation of results according to gender, and we can derive the average age difference in those responding to the survey.

So the question in the poll is:

What is the average age difference between men and women in cross-cultural marriages?

[Dan]

Here is a table, taken from the Survey of Cross-Cultural Marriage and Divorce:

	Age When Married	Spouse's Age	Avg. Age Difference
Men	40	30	9.8
Women	32	41	8.6

There are some significant differences from common perceptions.

What do y'all think about this? Surprised at anything?

I guess you all were not too surprised at the outcome of the previous question - so how about we try another one.
