Study author Terra McKinnish said that men who are married to younger wives are the most satisfied and men who are married to older wives are the least satisfied. She further added"Women are also particularly dissatisfied when they're married to older husbands and particularly satisfied if they're married to younger husbands," McKinnish added.

One mechanism for this decline could be how the age difference between spouses affects the couple's ability to respond to negative economic shocks, such as a job loss, McKinnish said.  McKinnish said, "We looked at how couples respond to negative shocks and in particular, if they have a major bad economic shock or worsening of their household finances.”
