[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who married someone 25 years older than she was. They are now happily married for 20 years.

They met and married when my friend was in their late twenties/early thirties and he was in his 50s. He has one child from his first marriage and a second with my friend.

The things she worried about with the age gap were that she would still be working for many years after her DH retired (they were normal UMC) so they needed to plan for that kind of retirement, not one where they would travel together, etc. And that he would probably die when she was in her 50s or early 60s, so that meant she would be a widow for a long time or expect to remarry. I think my friend also felt sad that her own parents were divorced and her husbands had passed, so her child didn’t really have “grandparents “ in a traditional sense.

Her parents were initially opposed because of the age difference but came around - they really like her DH.

Her DH was active and did/does sports with their child, was more established in his career to was a very involved father, etc. They are a very chill couple.

GL, and if you do marry and have a child, make sure your DH had an estate plan which takes care of your kids.[/quote]
