Spousal Age Difference

God Blessed Us With Each Other, Theres A Reason For Everything

I am 13 months younger than my husband. I also don't think that age should matter in marriage, if they are in love then I say go for it.

For those who feel that age is only a number, or age doesn't matter... is that within a limit?

Or are you saying that you're fine with a 30 yr age difference between couples?

my fiancee's 5 years older than me, and I never ever notice no-opne else could tell either

My husband is about 14 months older than me.

However, there are lots of marriages in my family with big age differences and they worked. One set of my grandparents were 10 years apart, and I have a few relatives who married people many years older or younger. My great grandmother was 17 when she married my great grandfather, who was 60. They had 6 children, and were married 30 years before he died.

My husband is 4 years and 12 days older than me. The age difference is not something we think about though I tease him that he's a cradle robber occasionally .

WOW! I though my great grandparents were unusual, she was 16 and he was 46 and they went on to have 6 kids too! The only difference is that my gfather already had 2 children with his wife... my g grandmother was their nanny!! It's so long ago now(about 90 years) noone really knows if first wife died or left, what i do know is my great grandparents were never actually married

60 and 17.... wow!

My husband is almost 6 years older than me, but it only looks that way for 4 months because he was born Dec 1978 and I was born April 1984. You'd never know it by my maturity and his lack of it at times. It amuses me...
God bless,

What's the difference in age between you and your spouse?

Also, do you think there comes a time when the difference in age causes you to become 'concerned'?

For example, when a 50 yr old man is marrying a 20 yr old woman? (Just an example, not meant to offend any 50 yr old men currently married to 20 yr old women)

my husband and I are alittle over 5 months apart.

My hubby is 6.5 years older than me. It's not a big deal...we don't even think about it.

 

[Andy Broadley]

There are 3.5 years between us. Makes very little difference, except maybe in the style of music that influenced us as youngsters.

There are actually some question like that about my great grandparents too. After my grandma died a couple of years ago, my husband and I went to visit her sister, my great aunt, in Las Vegas. She she told us about how my great grandfather would spend most of his time in New York and would only spend time with them as a family for weeks at a time, with months inbetween the visits. Hmmmmm.

I'm 4 yrs younger then my hubby.

I have always said age is just a number, I believe it all matters on the maturity level and love of course.

 

[faith renewal]

My hubby is eight months older than me, and will NEVER let me forget it!!!!

 

[LynnMcG]

I'm 15 months older than my husband. But since I stopped aging at 29, it's been tough for him. He's 36 and I'm still 29.

 

[Peculiarone]

My current friend is 11 years older than I. I had a small problem with it at first, but then he comforted me...let me know no worries. He is 33 and I'm 22 shortly. Plus with 3 kids.

 

[mamaneenie]

My husband is 4 days older than me. (he is 7th April, I am 11th April)

 

[Crystal_Dawn]

My husband is 10 and a half years older than me. I think that age differences (outside of the issue of minors marrying) is only a problem for those that view it as a problem. I personally could not envision myself with someone 30 years older than me but if someone else loves someone with that large an age difference then that is their choice and their business and I do not have a problem with it.

My husband is 2 years, one month and 2 weeks older than me.
