  • “The May-December Relationship Since 1850: Age Homogamy in the U.S.”
    “The May-December relationship since 1850: Age homogamy in the U.S.” Karen Rolf, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, and Joseph P. Ferrie, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY and NBER March 7, 2008 Abstract The gap between the ages of husbands and wives in the U.S. fell in each decade from 1900 to 2000. We explore whether this trend was present as well in the second half of the nineteenth century. We find that age homogamy (similarity in the ages of spouses) actually decreased after 1850 before beginning its twentieth century decline. We examine this divergence between the nineteenth and twentieth century patterns in light of the westward expansion of the U.S. frontier, the withdrawal of women from the paid labor force, and the impact of the Civil War. The nineteenth century rise in the age gap has implications for the welfare of wives and children. Introduction The discrepancy between the ages of husbands and wives in the U.S. has fallen continuously throughout the twentieth century: husbands were on average nearly five years older than their wives in 1900, but were just over two years older in 2000. This pattern was noted more than twenty years ago and has been associated with increasing female employment and rising levels of education.1 Though the extent and causes of marital heterogamy before the twentieth century have been examined in the European context, these issues have received much less attention for the U.S.2 1 Maxine P. Atkinson and Becky L. Glass, “Marital Age Heterogamy and Homogamy, 1900 to 1980,” Journal of Marriage and the Family, 47 (August, 1985): 685-691.
