The secret to a long-lasting marriage is a two-year age gap, four kisses a day and sex three times a week, according to a survey.
Sharing two hobbies, having three cuddles every 24 hours, saying at least one 'I love you' a day and enjoying two romantic meals a month could also help ensure a lasting liaison.
Researchers also discovered the husband and wife who will stay true to their 'til death us do part' vow will have met through friends – and tied the knot after three and a half years together.
The profile of the perfect marriage was compiled by wedding planning website www.confetti.co.uk
More than 3,000 married adults were polled to discover the secrets of their success in staying together.
Carol Richardson of confetti.co.uk said: "The research shows just how many components make up the perfect marriage, including the ideal age gap, dating duration and time to get married.
"It also seems couples are getting married older now which could be down to women putting more emphasis on their careers nowadays, resulting in romance and marriage playing second fiddle.
"Yet the perfect age gap for an ideal partnership still consists of the groom being older than the bride which must work due to the husband being more emotionally and financially stable.
The study found the longest-lasting marriages involve a man who walked down the aisle at the age of 31 – two years and three months older than their partner.
They should also say 'I love you' to each other at least once every day and have sex three times a week.
The first child will arrive two years and two months after the wedding.
And to keep the spark alive the poll found that married folk should enjoy two romantic meals out each month and spend three nights of the week cuddling on the sofa together.
They will also keep in regular touch – even when they are at work – through at least three phone calls, text messages or emails.
Two surprise weekends away every year, one annual foreign holiday and two UK breaks will also keep the marriage strong.
But while the ideal couple will share two hobbies, the study also revealed it's important to keep some independence by having two separate nights out with friends a month.

一項調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，要想保持婚姻的長久，夫妻倆最好年齡相差兩歲、每天接吻四次和一周做愛三次。
此外，擁有兩個共同的愛好、每天擁抱三次、至少說一次“我愛你”、每月共享兩頓浪漫大餐也有助于保證婚姻持久。
研究人員還發(fā)現(xiàn)，經(jīng)朋友認(rèn)識、并在交往三年半后結(jié)婚的夫婦會長相廝守。
這項有關(guān)完美婚姻的調(diào)查由婚禮策劃網(wǎng)站www.confetti.co.uk開展。
該網(wǎng)站共對三千多對夫婦進(jìn)行了調(diào)查，旨在總結(jié)他們婚姻長久的秘訣。
該網(wǎng)站的卡羅爾?理查德森說：“該調(diào)查告訴我們有多少因素能促成美好婚姻，其中包括理想的年齡差距、婚前交往時間及結(jié)婚的時間。”
“調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn)，如今人們結(jié)婚的時間越來越晚，這可能是因為現(xiàn)代女性更重視職業(yè)發(fā)展，于是愛情和婚姻退居其次。”
“而夫妻間理想的年齡搭配仍然是丈夫要比妻子大，因為這樣丈夫在性格和經(jīng)濟(jì)上都更加成熟穩(wěn)定。”
調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，從最穩(wěn)定的婚姻看，男人最好31歲結(jié)婚，比妻子大兩歲零三個月。
此外，每天至少對對方說一次“我愛你”，每周做愛三次也很必要。
而且最好在婚后兩年零兩個月后有第一個孩子。
調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，為維持愛情火花，最好每月共享兩頓浪漫大餐，每周有三天晚上在沙發(fā)上擁抱溫存。
兩人還要保持緊密聯(lián)系，每天打電話、發(fā)短信或發(fā)電子郵件至少三次，即使在工作的時候也一樣。
另外，每年安排兩次周末短途度假、一次國外旅行和兩次國內(nèi)旅行也有助于保持婚姻穩(wěn)固。
盡管夫妻倆有兩項共同愛好是婚姻美滿的重要因素，但調(diào)查同時發(fā)現(xiàn)，每月與朋友出去玩兩次，享受一下個人空間也十分重要。
