Could someone please find some statistics regarding age differences in marriage?

For Example: How successful do marriages tend to be when the male is
10+ years older than the female? What is the general level of
happiness? (And also compare this level to people who marry someone
much closer to their own age.) How common is it for males to be 10+
years older than the
female?

Focus please on the man being 10+ years older, or even 15+ years.

Also how often is it for females below the age of approx. 25(+/- a few
years) to marry a man 10+ years older than herself. And what are the
divorce rates for those couples who do marry with the large age gap?

Any further statistics you can find regarding this topic, as well as
the sources, would be absolutely wonderful!

Several of my friends have married women up to 15 years younger and
they all seem very happy.

So Go Ahead & Good Luck!

By contrast, marriage between folks of a similar age often finish in divorce.

You may want to consider relative age difference, rather than absolute
difference.  A 10-year difference is much more significant at age 30
than at age 60!
