| Met my husband when I was 27 and he was 39. Anyone else have large age gaps? |
64 here, she is 52. It's actually perfect for us. |
| Seems like a nice age gap to me. |
| We have a similar gap but he comes from a family with incredible genes and he looks and has the energy of someone much closer in age to me. Some people seem very old at 41. |
| Is 9 years a large gap? That’s ours. It’s become a little bit more noticeable as we age and health problems creep up, but it still works. |
Why? |
| 12 year gap. Husband is older. |
| My brother is 36 and his wife is 50. |
| Is that you, Kelly Loeffler? |
| There are plenty of marriages with this size age gap but reality is they have much higher divorce rate than marriages where partners are within five years of each other’s age. But overall not a big deal if you’re ok with it. |
| No, OP, you’re the only ones. |

Everyone in my family--grandparents, parents, in laws, my sibling, has that kind of age gap, 7 to 12 years.
I know a couple with a 20 year age gap which seems much more unusual to me. |
| We met when I was 21 and he was 33 and are still going strong after 37 years. |
| I'm 36 he's 51 |
| I'm 35, he's 49. We've been together 12 years. |
