This.

Know of 2 marriages w 20 year gap. Both going strong after 10+ years. The husbands are in their late 60s. The wives were simply done w dating men their age and wanted stability and respect. I wasn’t sure if that was just a temporary yearning but they have endured.

I was married to my spouse and we were 13 years apart. Married 20 years and had a few kids.

We’re divorced. Still love each other and appreciate the relationship we have now. Our marriage morphed into us (separately) chasing different lifestyles.

Sure, it could work. Didn’t for us.

Yes, I have a brother with a wife who is 12 years younger than he is. They both seem very happy.
