Age Difference Marriages

My brother was sixteen when he met his future wife and she was 21. They married when my brother was 18. My Mum said at the time (so I am told) that it would never last. My brother and sister in law celebrated their diamond wedding in November, complete with a message from the Queen.
DH is 8 years older than me, ruby wedding this year. Really do not think age matters too much in our experience.

My dh is 5 years younger and we've been together 20 years.

Mrs P is mature -- I'm not ! does that count ?

My DH is three years older than me. I guess that is fairly typical.

My DH was 11 years older than me too, Bellasnana. The only real difference we had was our musical tastes, he was a 'big band' and jazz enthusiast whereas I was a teenager in the 60s and prefer the music of that era.

My sister's DH was 21 years older than she was. Everyone was very negative about it, telling her she would be a young widow. Ironically, she died aged 54 whilst he is coming up to his 85th birthday.

My own beloved H was 11years older than me and it was perfect for us. I never felt it was too much of a difference and we were happy for 35 years before his death last May.

DH is 8 years older than me which seems about write I never went out with anyone of my own age when younger.
