How Many Years Difference is There Between You and Your Spouse or Significant Other?

Wow, that's wonderful Congratulations to you. My husband and I will never make it to that 50th anniversary, but I am grateful for the time we do have together.

@Kouponkaren We were both young when we got married, we will hope to celebrate some more.

@LadyDuck The fact that you have stayed together for all that time after marrying young says a lot about your commitment to each other!

@Kouponkaren It definitely is, although it seems more common these days. My wife's cousin was older than her husband and my sister is older than hers. A trend perhaps? lol

Good for you. It's more unusual for the woman to be older, but I say whatever makes you happy.

@Kouponkaren yep looks can make you look older or younger. My husband looks so much younger when he doesn’t have facial hair. So he keeps facial hair on his face so he doesn’t look so young at work.

Ha, "the nanny". That's cute. Some people just have an older or younger look to them.

@ShyBear88 Ah, that's a good idea. Do you like his facial hair? Some wives don't.

@Kouponkaren Tough day, he was in a deep sleep, we couldn't wake him up even to eat but hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

@BelleStarr Wow, good for you. How is your husband doing today by the way?

@Kouponkaren I make sure I look young!

@DuanneN Wow, really? Well, either you must look very young or he must look older?

@DianneN Aw, that's a beautiful photo. You 2 make a great couple!

Well, honestly, my husband and I knew each other many years ago, and reconnected again and fell in love. And I have known a lot of people that that has happened to. So maybe think back in your life to see if there is someone you cared about at one time in your earlier life, and you broke up, or lost contact, and see what they are up to know. There is a book written about couples that this has happened to. It's called, "My Boyfriend's Back" and it was really fun to read about other couples who lost touch with someone in their past and reunited and fell in love. Good luck to you. I hope you find someone soon.

@miftha Thank you, and you as well.

@Kouponkaren thanks for sugestion, have a great day. good luck to you

@marguicha Aw, that is very sweet. My husband now is the love of my life and I don't think I will ever remarry if he goes first.

@muchtosay My first husband and I were 2 weeks apart. I was older and he never let me forget it!

@sjvg1976 That is great that you have been happily married that long. Congratulations!

@Kouponkaren I think it mostly depends on their attitude and also how they were raised.

@wolfgirl569 I think older men treat their spouse/significant other better than men my age. Of course it could just be my own personal experience but my first husband was the same age as me, and he didn't respect women very much.

@Shiva49 That is true, and thank you!

@NJChicaa My ex and I are about the same age also. I think that's part of the reason he is my "ex."

@Kouponkaren we still enjoy, even though it's been more than 3 years

@ladyhero Enjoy your time together now. It is good to build a solid base, just the 2 of you, before children come along.

@RAOCV20 I think that's a nice age difference. But then again, everyone is different, so whatever works!

@Vikingswest1Wow, that's amazing. And good for you that you are still together after such a quick courtship. It must be true love!
