My husband and I are the same age. Our birthday's are two months apart. His birthday is first, so I always tease him when he turns older than me. We joke about this every year, since our age is so close. What is the age difference between you and your partner?

My husband is a more than one year older than me and we got along well, except for some disagreement on some little issues. He was 27 and I was 26 when we got married on May of 1987. We'll be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary on May 30 and he's coming this may 27 because he's working in another country.

My hubs is 13 years older than me. We will be celebrating our 14th anniversary this December. Age is only a number, I don't think it has a lot to do with it once two hearts begin beating together.

There is a 17 year age gap between the two of us. We actually met when i was 17 and he was 34 -twice my age at the time! Now i'm 24 and he's 41, which still seems like a big difference but to us it doesn't matter. We love each other and we're happy - that's what matters. It's never been an issue for us, sometimes i think people feel like they need to make an issue out of it when there isn't one!

There is only a couple month difference between my partner and I with myself being the oldest of us. I was born in September the year before and she was born in July of the year after me. It's not a big difference, but I joke about it sometimes.

Just 2 years difference and it is fine with this age now and when young it was ok all the way!
When it comes to real relationship or depth of the relationship itis not based on age or age difference or any thing else it is counted only on the basis of closeness, trust, freedom and inner love expressions!
But it depends on each individual couple as well as persons too!

My partner is about 4 years older than me. I tease him all the time about being an old man in comparison to me, just because I know it annoys him. For instance, I wasn't alive during the 70s and it amazes him how many things I don't know about that he does from that time period. Also, I'm the youngest in his friend group.
In the end, we both end up laughing it off because we know that 4 years really isn't that much of a difference at all.

There is a 13 year age difference between myself and my husband. It doesn't bother us at as we both tend to have the same personality and tastes. One good thing is that by being older he knows a little more than me and I don't mind when he gives me advice that coming from someone my age would sound stupid but coming from him I know that the advice is coming from his experience.

My honey is almost 15 years older than me. He just turned 40 this year which could've meant a mid-life crisis; except for the fact that he can brag that his honey is still in her twenties.

My husband and I are six years apart. He is six years older than I am. He is 63 and I am 57. To me ages is not a issue. I love him and he loves me. We don't even look at the age difference.
