My 3rd cousin is 27. She just got married to a 22 year old (the younger 1 is the groom). What do you think the chance is that it will last?

I think it depends on how mature are both participants. I cannot guess if two adults would be successfull in marriage just based on age.
Of course, that you may be more used to see the bride being the younger one, and I think that because it is the groom you are still not happy with your cousin's decision. Let her find out if her decision is going to be good or bad.
Besides, there is only 5 year difference between the two of them so that's not bad. I suppose he will continue pursuing whatever career or job he wants, and will not have to worry to having to stop either one due to a un-planned pregnancy.
Congratulations to your cousin. You should be happy for her, instead of judging her. I know you do it because you care about her happiness, but the truth is that she is already made her choice, and you should respect it.

Depends how much there devoted to one another and love one another, and if they have the same goals to work towards. Hard to say, if your thinking it might not last because of the age difference, that's not reason enough, people who are the same age in a marriage don't always have a marriage that works. Only Time Will Tell!!!!

Wow, sounds familier....I am 28 and my hubby is 26...and things are fine for us....see, men are usually more immature than woman and when the man marries someone older it's a good thing because she can teach him what maturity is all about....lol....ok, hubby says it's great because the woman will always have a younger looking man by her side...lol...anyways, we've been together for seven years and things have worked out fine for us, age is just a number it's the love that matters, if they love one another, who cares about the age difference....

They have a 40% chance of it lasting. Do you have feelings for your 3rd cousin?

Probably the same as any other marriage.
By today's standards 50%

Well, none of us know them personally, so we have no idea.
