My husband is 5 years older than I am; but I don't really think there's an "ideal" age gap. The main thing is that they are LEGALLY adults, and the next issue is maturity. Love / serious committment will take care of the rest

There is NO ideal age gap, since minds/bodies/attitudes come in all ages/sizes.
I think his advancment of age by 3-5 years may be good, IF it has been used to be productive, such as a degree, etc, to further the family as a whole down the line.
If you really love each other...then it's all good. There isn't enough of it going on in the world.

From my experience I think a boy should be 28 yrs+ before deciding about choosing his life partner, besides a girl should be 23 yrs or 25 yrs before plunging into married life, the gap would be ideal if its about 6 yrs atleast so that one of them could be matured enough to handle the delicate situation that arise between two people which in today's generation can flare up and break up relationship easily -Ayesha Ahmed

More then measuring the gap in number of yrs lived, it is about the life lived and the same level of emotional maturity. My brother loves to say "age comes and goes, but immaturity can last a lifetime". Its an emotional age that matters, not an actual age.

It's sort of like asking what the ideal height difference between a husband and wife should be. There is no right answer.

I don't believe there is an "ideal" gap for a marriage. I'm three years older than my husband and it works just fine. My dad is six years older than my mom and they have been married for 35 years. My husband's parents are sixteen years apart and they have been married for almost 30 years. I don't think there is an "ideal" just the "ideal" person for you.

Ideally I think couples that are within 0-5 years of each other's age is best. That way they are more likely to be in the same "place" emotionally, financially, and with their career goals. Some people prefer to meet somebody that is already established with no baggage. Personally I like the fact that my wife and I have grown together, explored together, experimented together, worked together, and lived life TRULY as equals and as partners.

I would say maybe 10yrs even though It really doesn't matter age is nothing but a number but if you think about it you have to think of the long term f some men cant function after they reach a certain age and that the get jealous when they see there spouse wanting to go out and do things and they can nice an Vice-Verse

4 to 7 years gap is ideal.
