** Across religions and regions, women are younger than their male partners ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Household living arrangements around the world vary by religion, according to a recent Pew Research Center study ([link removed]) . Still, certain broad patterns are true of women and men regardless of the religion they affiliate with. On average, women are younger than their husbands or male cohabiting partners ([link removed]) across each of the six religious groups evaluated in the study – and in each of the 130 countries and territories analyzed. While this pattern holds across all six religions evaluated, there are differences between faith groups. Muslims have the widest spousal age gap (6.6 years between men and their wives or partners), followed by Hindus (5.6 years), Christians (3.8), Buddhists (2.9), the religiously unaffiliated (2.3) and Jews (2.1).
