Experts even have a name for this tendency we have to think our communication is stronger and clearer than it actually is: signal amplification bias.
Elizabeth would not—and did not—settle for the same choice. But despite their being the best of friends, Charlotte and Elizabeth are not the same.
Likewise, no two marriages are the same. Nor need they be: Trying to force a one-size-fits-all formula on individual marriages invites disaster. A couple I know who are part of a conservative religious community, for example, tried for the first decade of their marriage to conform to roles they thought were expected by their community and failed miserably. Or a couple on the opposite end of the spectrum, for whom love means never saying the mortgage is late?
Theirs is a match crowned by the twin laurels of romance and reason. A Good Marriage Challenges Both Partners to Grow Despite being well-matched in both intellect and passion for each other, Elizabeth and Darcy have to undergo painful chastening, admit their errors, enlarge their perspectives, and see matters through the eyes of the other before they can love each other.

We can probably also deduce that his birthday is after April, seeing as he said he was an arrogant asshole from when he was 8 to when he was Although it may not be strictly true, it's safe to assume that he didn't include when he was Elizabeth tells Lady Catherine that she 'is not one-and-twenty' when she visits Rosings in the spring, around April.
Since she didn't just come out and say 'twenty', I think we can assume that she isn't quite 20 or 21, but somewhere in between. Again, her birthday is probably after April, so she's not 21 yet, but she's older than 20, having had her 20th birthday last year. Now for Lizzy's sisters. Jane is 22 or 23, we're told that right off.
Mary is difficult, since she's a minor character, so we'll wait. Lydia is definitely 15 at the start, 16 at the end, since Elizabeth tells Lady Catherine that her 'youngest is not sixteen', making the same ambiguous statement that Lydia isn't sixteen yet, since she hasn't had her sixteenth birthday, but she's not 15 either since she turned 15 last year. Kitty says she's two years older than Lydia, which puts her at Now that Kitty is established, the ages left between Kitty and Elizabeth at the beginning are 18 and So Mary is either 18 or 19 at the start and 19 or 20 at the end.

The other clue is that she's more than ten years younger than her brother. Darcy states this at least twice. Wickham next. He can't be older than Darcy, since that would make marrying Georgiana look weird, and he should be young enough to be able to pull off the 'smooth rogue' thing.
So, about works. Maybe Seeing his faith in Darcy's opinion, I'd say he's younger than Darcy, and his equality with Jane they were friends even before they fell in love, even though that was short says that he might be about 22 or 23 as well. I honestly don't know whether she's older of younger than her brother, but since she feels free to order him around, I'm guessing older.
Old enough to be desperate to marry Darcy? Since Charlotte is practically 'on the shelf' at 27, it's safe to say that Caroline is around during the book.
I'm pretty sure we all know Charlotte is 27 or so, seeing as she's desperate enough to latch onto Collins.
Her sister Maria, being Kitty and Lydia's friend Kitty goes to visit her during the 2nd proposal walk is about I'm not sure, tho. Colonel Fitzwilliam is probably older than Darcy, seeing as he's able to tease Darcy a bit before incurring his wrath.
