I think the age difference is more exaggerated as we age. A couple ages 30 and 40 yrs old share much the same dreams, problems, and concerns. By the time they are 50 and 60 or 60 and 70 those problems start to become more different because aging has a snowball effect upon us.

...

I asked why and was told a man has no right to propose marriage unless he can provide and it takes time to be established.

...
That's why my wife and I dated for 6 years, and we didn't have children for 7 more after that. ;)

As with everything related to people, it depends on the people. My mom and step-dad are 15 years apart. They've been married 43 years now. In many ways, my mom seems older that Chuck, who just turned 93. They each have children from a previous marriage but don't have any of their own. A difference in age doesn't necessarily imply a difference in outlook.

I think we all know what's going on when a 25 year old woman marries a 75 year old wealthy man, in general.

First Marriage at 60?

I guess 60 is the new 30???

My good friend spent a lifetime traveling and building his business… never married and no kids… some would say focused others would say workaholic.

He sold his business and set and he told me it’s time to settle down and I didn’t know what to say… not sure if he was kidding or not?

Then thoughts of being 65 and taking your kid to Kindergarten flashed in my mind…

Always thought these things were for Hollywood types…

Anyone 60 or older with young kids?

I do know several May November marriages but they were not first marriages or is having kids in the picture… one was 37 years older than his wife and 6 years in seem very happy.

How old is his bride to be?

He is actively looking... going out, taken up hobby sailing...

My Doctor friend 37 years older than his wife was not even looking...

He noticed one of his longtime patients had a new snap in his step and total personality change even dressing differently and on the next visit asked him what changed...

His patient said I met someone and life is good... 6 months later he said we are getting married and after a year was even more happy and came in with his wife...

Doc said now I understand... his patient said you should get out there and Doc said an old guy like me???

Patient said if you are interested... she has a single sister coming for a visit and we could all go out to dinner...

That was 7 years ago and everyone said what happened to Doc... he's like a kid, acts years younger and is always upbeat... I'm sure part of that is no longer having the burdens of managing his practice in addition to the new wife...

The sisters University educated in the Philippines... never married and met their husbands through introductions...

My wife has a good friend from work that is now 75. Her husband passed away last year at age 97. Almost 23 year age difference. Until the last year of his life, you'd never guess he was that much older than her. Always had a spring in his step, active, etc. Good guy.

Why not I did it at 40 and was blessed with my daughter at 42. My wife is 8 years younger than me but I don’t care she is truly a great mother and wife and I am glad that I found her

First thing I think about with these May-December marriages, is somebody better have a good pre nup to protect themselves.

I have a friend in his early sixties,that was just kicked off his 3 million dollar estate by his 34 year old wife of 5 years
He is now living in an extended stay motel, while the lawyers figure out who gets what.
