I remember this one from school. The teacher told us that this chap [forgot name, sorry!] wanted to get wed, and had researched common factors of happy marriages.
He found the best indicator was the woman being half the man's age plus 7. (E.g. man aged 50 marries woman aged 32.) So he checked through all the eligible women he knew and wooed and won the one who met the age requirement.
Unfortunately the marriage was unhappy. (Perhaps the wicked wench had lied about her age?)
