This post from flowing data gives a different perspective of the same data.

That also brought up a good point - lots of couples aren't married (by choice or other reasons) and aren't in these studies because of that. And then what about same sex couples? The question of age gap still applies to them too in the overall scope of whether people seek out similar ages or not.
