I'd be more concerned about their long term marriage if your 31 yr old is immature and engaged.
I didn’t say he was immature. He is college professor and Captain in the National Guard. He is a combat vet X3. Very smart. Very successful. But definitely ADHD. She has the maturity of someone well over her age. Sometimes age really is just a number.

They also have all said once we’ve moved on that I treat them with more kindness and respect than the average 22yo does.

In my twenties I'd never have chosen a guy twice my age over a guy in my age range unless the older one could treat me to things/experiences that guys my age normally couldn't.
