Sample for partner age differences reduced due to trimming of highest and lowest 1% of distributions and due to missing data. All indicators with the exception of age at first marriage and female participation in household decisions are binary variables and expressed as a proportion of the sample ranging from 0 to 1. Female participation in household decisions is an indicator ranging from 0 to 4 indicating her participation either solely or jointly in four decisions: (1) woman’s health care decisions, (2) large household purchases, (3) visits to family or relatives and (4) what to do with money husband earns
