Should marriage be about equals, or is it acceptable for a difference in years? In times gone by, a man would make a success of himself, and maybe in his forties look for a bride between eighteen and twenty five, to make children with and a family. She would have her interests, and he would work. She would be based around her home and children, he his business.

I don't think the age gap itself is important. More important is how old the youngest partner is. If she or he is 18, then I don't think the age gap should be too wide. But if he or she is, say 29 or 30 years old, then I think they'd likely have the life experience to be able to understand the true implications of a wide age gap. Younger people aren't likely to truly appreciate that aspect.

@Richard65 absolutely correct. My wife was 17years my elder but we had an amazing marriage and loved one another right up to her passing.

For a happy lifetime together the partners should be as contemporary as possible.
