I was married to a man 22 years my senior. We were married for 11 years. It was fine in the beginning, but when his disability, and the fact I had to work to support his expensive lifestyle got in the way, things started going bad. On the other hand..My sister, who has passed on married a man who was 20 years her senior, and they were married for 40 years. Had the most beautiful relationship I have ever seen. So it just depends on the people in the relationship, how hard to they want to work to make their relationship work? How easy is it for one or or the other to be persuaded by their friends/family? As far as the intimacy? I've always been told the older the bull the harder the horn...sometimes it's true, sometimes not. But there are meds for that now...just be carefull with them. Good luck .

I think it the future, maybe 20 years from now, it will be a problem.
When she is 50 and still a peppy person interested in going out for the evening but he is 70 and feeling enough wear and tear that he would rather just slump down in a chair by the TV then those differences will be a source of friction between them.

If you think it's ok, who cares what everyone else thinks? I don't think we should allow society to dictate age restrictions in relationships. There is a 21 year age gap between my boyfriend and I (I'm 27). I have never been happier in my life. Just like with any relationship, it needs to have the essentials like trust, understanding, communication, interests, goals, etc. If those elements are in place, then nothing else matters. Love is the greatest feeling in the world, and age shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing it.

It depends on the people involved. My wife is 15 years older than me and we have a great relationship. More important than the age difference is what the 2 of you have in common. If you enjoy the same things and have common goals then age is not a factor.

My husband is 10 years older than I am and we have been happily married for 8 years.
Age is only a state of mind.

They are two responsible adults, mature enough to see past the age difference... age is not really a thing of physics, but of mind.
