[quote=Anonymous]We know one couple where she is the same age as his adult son.  From the outside, it seems strange.  He's not rich, they are citizens of the same country, there's not "easy" way to explain it.  But if you know them, you know it's because they love each other and are very happy together.  They have two little kids, she gets along well with his son and his family, and it just works for them.  I recognize that this is not the norm.

I know another couple with a 15-20 year age difference, and again, it seems to work for them.  It's clearly not because of money, or wanting a green card, or whatever.  Again, I recognize that this is not the norm.

My husband is ten years older than I am, which is a meaningful age difference but not crazy.  The big effect it's had is that he wanted fewer kids than he did when he was younger, so we have one kid instead of two.  But otherwise, it's not been an issue yet.  As we age, it's possible that his health will deteriorate before mine, but I know many couples where the younger spouse developed serious health issues first, so there's no guarantee of anything.
