Summary

Historical timeline of Joseph Smith's Marriages. The range in green is aligned with real numbers and real distributions,[1] but is not calculated exactly due to a lack of readily available cross-tabulated data. The distribution of age at first marriage is skew right, which means that ~9.5% of the remaining ~11% of couples were older, not younger. The number of extremely young spouses was very low - comparable to today's numbers: ~1.2% females married younger than 17 and ~2% males married younger than 20. Further, in the 1830's and 1840's, ~45% of all couples were same-age marriages, where the difference in ages was less than two years. Joseph married about 5 years earlier than average (21 vs. 26), and Emma about 2 years earlier than average (22 v 24).[2][3][4][5][6][7]
