What does God say about a big age difference between couples? I'm talking like 20 + years. What is the proper spiritual way to look at it? I know that the world thinks it's okay, but obviously that is not who's opinion I want. Is there anywhere in the Bible that addresses it or anything like that?
Good question, I've thought about this before as well.

I can't think of anything biblical when it comes to this. I think there were instances in the Bible where older people married younger people but I can't think of who or where or if I'm just remembering incorrectly. Either way, from a biblical perspective, any relationship that is God honoring and Christ centered is a good one. Although from a practical standpoint, I think dating/marrying someone with that big of an age difference would be quite a challenge.

As far as I'm aware, the Bible doesn't specify age range limits. As long as you're both legally adults, and it doesn't bother you, I don't think age differences matter to God.

Yeah at first I was thinking that it shouldn't be a problem with God either. But then I was like well if you're in your twenties and you marry someone who is 40 or even older, how are you going to have kids really? I know it's possible but unlikely. That just doesn't seem Biblical or right to me for some reason...
Like what would even be the point of getting married? One person is just starting their life and the other person is like done with their young adulthood basically.
Well what do you mean? If the women were older, I've heard of women having children in their 40s.
And if it's where the male is older it isn't such a problem.

Issac was much older than Rebekah. Rebekah was 20 yrs younger than Issac. You can calculate this number by how old they lived other references from the Bible
