A new study has revealed that men and women have very different views when it comes to what makes their partner 'marriage material'.

As many as three quarters of British women need to be able to fully trust their partner in order to consider them to be marriage material, while 64 per cent of men consider sexually compatibility the most important factor.

The survey, which asked respondents what the top five ‘marriage material’ characteristics were, showed the differing views between the sexes.

Women also cite 'romantic' and 'career driven' as positive traits when it comes to choosing the perfect husband.

Men, on the other hand, say willingness to look after them and allowing them to watch sports are more important.

All respondents were also asked what they considered to be the best age to get married, with the majority of women (44 per cent) stating 26-30 years old and the majority of men (53 per cent) choosing ‘31-35 years old’.

A spokesman for VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, who carried out the survey, said: 'It’s no surprise that the perceptions of what makes a partner marriage material between men and women is vastly different.

'Women look for a much deeper connection from their partner than men do.

'Realistically, men seem to want someone who is sexually compatible, but who will also wait on them hand and foot like their mothers would.

'It’s also no surprise that the majority of men chose a higher age bracket to get married than women, as it has been proven that women are more advanced with maturity, whilst men don’t quite know how to act their age.'

Cecilia d’Felice, Clinical Psychologist for match.com, said: 'Mutually being in love is what makes a couple "marriage material" and we should never lose sight of this.  When we are in love, rational "reasons" or criteria which we use to decide whether someone is suitable to marry rapidly fly out of the window. We are governed by our hearts and not our heads.

'Dating someone, getting to know them, falling in love, finding that you are happy in each other’s company and would rather be together than apart is the normal route to marriage, and for good reason.'
