ubunja: The life expectancy of women is directly proportional to the age difference between them and their man.
THE REVITALIZED OLD MAN. I grew up in the city but I did the last two years of my Secondary education in the village. It's a long story that began with me dropping out of secondary school back in the city and going on a series of misadventures with bad company that landed me in jail. My mother, understanding my lawlessness was due to my lack of a father figure, sent me to the village to resume my secondary education under the guidance of an older cousin who was a teacher and an up and coming preacher.
It was while in the village that I first encountered the power of an age gap in a marriage.
An age gap being the difference in age between a man and a woman in a relationship.
So an old man of the community had lost his younger brother. And as per custom the late brother's wife became his wife. From what I heard she was a young wife. A lot younger than the old man. Though I never met her personally.
The brother's death and the old man's acquiring of the young widow happened not too long before my arrival.
Now, a young nephew of mine told me how taking over the young widow "kwamenza wavuka khwatshu umadala" (she revitalized and re-energized the old man).
It would have been a forgettable story if not for the boy who kept bringing it up every chance he got. He was endlessly amused by how a frail and failing old man had gained a new lease of life from his younger wife. And everyone in the homestead hilariously agreed. The aged man had been getting slower and tired because of his age, but since tapping that young ass he recharged. I saw him around. Walking upright, energetically, with a spring to his step. As if he owned the world.
I was assured that not too long ago he no longer had any of that.
ELLEN G. WHITE. Fast forward a few years later and I'm reading from the influential Seventh-Day Adventist author Ellen White (she of the widely popular The Desire Of Ages book) and in her book A Solemn Appeal (published 1870) under the chapter "Marriage Relation" she writes:
"Another cause of the deficiency of the present generation in physical strength and moral worth, is the union of men and women in marriage whose ages widely differ. It is frequently the case that old men choose to marry young wives. By thus doing the life of the husband has often been prolonged, while the wife has had to feel the want of that vitality which she has imparted to her aged husband. It has not been the duty of any woman to sacrifice life and health, even if she did love one so much older than herself, and felt willing on her part to make such a sacrifice. She should have restrained her affections." https://m.egwwritings.org/en/book/4.139
Mrs White (American, 1827 – 1915), has been hailed for her writings especially on health reform, diet, temperance and natural remedies. And it was her protégés, the Kellogg brothers, who studied her work and went on to invent the iconic breakfast cereals and are on the list of people who invented peanut butter. And the next time you eat a granola energy bar you can thank White who requested one of the Kellogg brothers to invent it.
Ellen White was arguably one of the brightest to ever write on human health and happiness. And reading her work on the negative effects of age gaps on women's health contrasted with the revitalizing effects of the same on older men at once took my mind back to the village and the old man revitalized and re-energized by his marriage to a much younger woman. Curiosity sparked, Google became my friend...
THE DENMARK STUDY. My friend G pointed me to a study published in 2010 by one, Sven Drefahl, that provides statistical evidence that older men gain vitality/energy/life from a union with a younger woman.
Sven, a demography researcher, did a study at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research - that will be in Germany - where he accessed and assessed neighboring Denmark's marriage records, in his words, "to examine how the age difference between spouses affects their survival."
Demography is the study of populations.
Apparently Denmark keeps one of the most detailed records on their population.
By going through the records of almost 2 million married people Sven discovered that men are quite the thieves of life. Vampires infact.
Patterns and trends revealed how older men are able to live off their younger wives' vitality, or what we can call "life force".
Mr. Drefahl's findings are presented here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3000022/
Below are five quotations from the web link above that illustrate key findings from Drefahl's analysis of Danish marriage records.
Remember "mortality" in science and academia means "death".
# "male mortality increases when the wife is older and decreases when the wife is younger."
# "the risk of dying in men decreases as the age gap increases. The younger the wife is compared with her spouse, the lower the mortality of the husband; the older the wife is compared with her spouse, the higher the mortality of the husband."
# "female mortality is higher if the wife is younger than her husband."
# "The lowest risk of dying is found in women who are about the same age as their husbands,"
# "having a younger spouse is beneficial for men but detrimental for women."

THIEVES OF LIFE. We have always known of the strange changes that happen to people's bodies when they marry. Like how two people who get married end up looking somewhat similar facially. Marriage has an acknowledged effect on our looks. Sven Drefahl's Denmark study adds another dimension to the equation: AGEING.
Which confirms something most of us have long suspected.
Haven't we all noticed, or atleast heard it spoken, how a fresh young woman who marries a much older man, a few years into the marriage she seems to look a little more mature, a little bit older for her age? Almost as if her body is trying to match her older husband's maturity and age? We all have seen or heard about this. And it's rather gratifying to understand this is a legitimate quantifiable phenomenon backed by tangible verifiable statistics.
When a woman marries a much older man - say a man about 15 years older, extreme I know, - the man will live much longer than he should. While the woman will die much earlier than she should. (Sven made it clear though that even an age gap as small as 3 years had a negative effect on the woman.)
If you're a young woman of 20 who's going to marry an older man of 35, the stats prophesy you'll die before your time. While your older sweetheart will live past his time. You'll die earlier because some of your years will transfer to your older husband. Your years given to him are the reason he'll live longer than expected. And you die sooner than expected.
As you boast to your friends that you make your older man "feel young again", he can correctly boast to his own friends "I make my girl feel old". Because he's literally draining you. Just as a married couple ends up looking the same, it is the case most visibly demonstrated with big age gaps, that a couple also ends up ageing the same as well. The woman's ageing process accelerates while the older man's ageing process slows down.
A clear effort of the two bodies trying to match their age. Just as the bodies are matching their looks.
It is noteworthy that Sven, after presenting his research on the effects of age gaps on women admitted, "It can be concluded that the driving force of the observed mortality differences by the age gap to the spouse remain unclear." Meaning scientists can not explain the exact root cause of the phenomenon. They can only quantify and verify it. Ellen White fills in that gap for us, "the wife has had to feel the want of that vitality which she has imparted to her aged husband."
In marriage, younger women lose some of their life force to their older husbands.
LIFE FORCE. The next logical question if you're a woman will be; Can women benefit, like how men benefit, by marrying a much younger man? And the answer to that question is a disappointing NO.
You can cancel those cougar ambitions.
Because according to Sven's findings it STILL kills a woman to marry a much younger man. Just as it kills her to marry a much older man. Demet! Women can not steal life. If a man is younger, the woman dies early. If a man is older, the woman still dies early. Any age gap, no matter who is behind or ahead, costs the woman her vitality, her energy, her life.
Life is always transferring from a woman to the men.
Now, it's important to note: AGE GAPS IN MARRIAGE KILL WOMEN REGARDLESS OF THE LENGTH OF THE MARRIAGE. As Sven puts it, "marriage duration does not change the coefficients for the age gap to the spouse, suggesting that duration of marriage does not account for the mortality differences of age-discrepant marriages."
The sweet spot for women to not die early - as per the Denmark statistics - is for them to be with a man of the same age as them. Roughly. To avoid being unequally yoked as it were. When a woman marries a man of her age she lives her life to the fullest.
