I don't believe that you will find any valid statistic on long-term marriages or ages here in TV. The Developer may have age statistics Because of the 80/20 rule. We find in talking with neighbors and others in TV that there are a lot of long-term marriages. Actually, more than I expected----and I don't know why I had that expectation except the divorce rate is now more than fifty percent. When we left in May for our "summer vacation", our group of close friends had 3 couples with over 150 years of marriage and one with five at our dinner table. Yesterday my wife and I celebrated our 53rd! We were teenagers when we married----thanks for asking.
