in the past 5/10 years has the age gap gotten better? Has the shidduch crises? )
I don’t know why that question is relevant. Maybe you are suggesting that we closed the gap but it didn’t help?
Anyhow, I looked it up. Apparently, trying to close the gap by focusing on the older girls didn’t make much if a dent, because for the most part, the boys are still marrying the younger girls. So now, they’re pushing for younger boys to get married.
