What is the ideal height difference for couples? Im 6'5" my wife is 5'2" and I see her too short... :(

Answer 1

I suppose you are only talking about looks (like in a photo and social settings) and about physiology. If you look at the average height of American men (5' 9") and women (5' 4"), which is average of all ages and geography, you are on the very tall percentile. Depends on your age, younger people are taller these days.

If there is such as an ideal, the head is about 7" to 8", so figure it out for how he and she would look like.

Answer 2

Then why on earth did you marry her? I mean, one would think you would have figured out that you were bothered by her height BEFORE you got married. 5'2" is not that short for a woman and 6'5" IS tall for a man. I've always preferred a man who is a good 6-8 inches taller than me so that I can still look up to him when we talk and kiss. Any taller than that, I would have to step on my tiptoes and crane my neck. Worse yet, he would have to pick me up or bend over at the waist. I am 5'4" and my husband is 6' tall. It's perfect. I don't feel short around him. I can wear heels and he is still taller than me.

My nephew just got married this weekend. He is about an inch shorter than his wife. It works for them. I also have good friends who are exactly the same height (both are 5'4"). It works for them. Hopefully, despite the logistical problems it could present to have a wife so much shorter than you, she is such a wonderful woman, that it really doesn't matter.

Answer 3

Love is all that matters =) Height is nothing but a height difference. She may see you as too tall but she may not be thinking about it as much. And as it goes for physical appearance...you both can't change that now. So just think about how much you love her, her being taller is just an advantage in certain ways for you and her physically. =)

Answer 4

Didn't seem to stop you from marrying her?!

That IS quite the height disparity but should not play a role in your marriage.

Since I enjoy dancing, I would say less than 6" difference would be ideal.

Answer 5

You should have thought about this before you married her. If your so moronic to woory about a height difference, instead of the love that you 2 share together, thean your a prime example of a man that should never be allowed to marry anyone.

Answer 6

If THAT is the biggest problem in your marriage, I'd consider you very fortunate.

I don't know about ideal height differences - my husband and I are 6 inches apart, and it suits us just fine. But I'd love him all the same if he were taller or shorter, and I think he feels the same way.

Answer 7

shes too short and you're too tall
it evens out
so why did you marry her?
there is no ideal height difference.
unless you are most worried about photo ops.
there are pages of more important things to consider.
and perhaps that's already past time

Answer 8

Height is irrelevant. Other compatibility traits matter. Are you happy or not? That is the issue. If you are, you should not look at her height as a negative. Be real and love unconditionally if it is love.

Answer 9

sorry, not a very bright question. If you limit who you date by height, you will miss lots of opportunity. I suspect your wife sees you as too tall. Certainly reason enough to get divorced...go for it.

Answer 10

there is no such thin in ideal height difference for couples man. i am only 5'00 and have dated men as tall as you (and luved it too). besides, u already married the woman so what difference would it make now? keep this in mind too, good things come in small packages. heheheh.
peace
