Re: Age difference
My sis and her hubby have an 8 year gap and they're getting on beautifully.
My best friend and her hubby have a ten year gap and they're also doing very well.
My other best friend and her hubby have a 2 year gap and even though they had a lot of issues in the beginning, they're doing great now.
I think a 5 year gap is reasonable and anything more then that should be left to the individuals to decide whether its something they can manage or not. Some men who are a lot older talk down to their wives and thats not right. Some women who are too close in age compete with their husbands in every aspect of life, again not right.
It really depends on the people involved but about 5 years is reasonable to me.
