There's no maturity gap and we have a strong emotional connection, romance and most importantly commitment. He's employed and I'm still a student, but I'm getting into the same field he is in and we share many of the same interests. I see no problems, do you?

No problem! You really have an ideal situation and what most people are striving for I believe. At 20, you should be a student and at 25 it is ideal to be employed at that point. If you also share the same career interests, that is a definite bonus! Plus, you share other interests! Do make sure you each have an interest individually also. You don't have to feel you have everything in common. It could be a little stifling later if you feel that you must share everything. That's the only problem I could see. Good luck to you. You are very lucky!

Everyone here will tell you that age is just a number. However, if you are thinking long term relationship please realize that at age 20 you may not have "lived" life for yourself. I am a 30 year old man and my 25 year old wife has left me because she got married at 19 and "did not get to find out who she was as an individual". Through counseling I have learned that a woman should not get seriously involved until at least 25 years of age due to hormone changes at this time in life. Perhaps things will work better for you, good luck.

Of course not, this is perfect!
When I met my husband, I was 17 and he was 24. We were both students, I was just starting and he was just finishing. We've never really noticed the age gap, except that he remembers the Reagan years better than I do!
It can be difficult, though, having a spouse who is further along in his career path, because he will probably be ahead of you in earnings, and so when it comes to making a living, you'll have choices to make about whose income is more important. Your choices will be limited somewhat--say you get offered the perfect job in another city, but the income is less than what your fiance's making. Tough choices. But that would be true in any marriage--things aren't suddenly going to be perfect once you've graduated.
