I'm not very sure about that, but my dad was shorter than my mum when they were dating & after they got married, my dad's height shooted up & he's taller than my mum now...He was 25 years when they got married.

Generally growth stops after 20

It is unusual for normal growth to occur after age 20. At the ends of our long bones are epiphyses, or growth plates. These usually fuse and close about the age of 16 - 18 in males and about 14 - 17 in girls, and growth ceases. In unusual cases, growth plates do not fuse and growth continues. In such instances, especially if the person grows unusually tall, the doctor may search for evidence of Marfan syndrome or a pituitary tumor.

the popular scientific agreement is that growth stops at 19, but i'm not sure if that's entirely accurate. you're probably done kiddo, but you can still hope if you want to.
