Ladies around the world be advised: Scientists have announced the mathematical formula for the perfect wife which includes - the bride should be five years younger than her groom, should come from the same cultural background, and be the more intelligent of the pair.

After analyses, the team from the Geneva School of Business concluded that abiding by the formula would increase a couple's chances of a long and happy marriage by a fifth, reports The Telegraph.

The academic study has been published in the European Journal of Operational Research.

To reach the conclusion, boffins looked at 1,074 couples aged between 19 and 75 years.

The experts added that a wife should be at least 27 per cent more intelligent than her husband. She should also hold a degree, while he should not.

Nguyen Vi Cao, who led the research, promised: "If people follow these guidelines in choosing their partners they can increase their chances of a happy, long marriage by up to 20 per cent."
