My wife's mother was five years older than her husband and in her early 20s when they married. It doesn't seem like much now, but back then it was scandalous. It turned out fairly well, I'd say. They were married for almost 60 years before my mother-in-law died. (KTrain photoshopped her photo for me for the funeral, for which the family was very appreciative.) Their children must have got the hint because two of the three girls married younger men, including my wife. Age doesn't much matter. Other stuff is more important.
