My father was 19 years older than my mother.
The generation gap did create some difficulties in values and tastes for them.
I suspect differences in their biological age probably had a negative effect on their sex life.
They lasted for 15 years until he died when I was 14.
My husband is 9 years older. We've been together since 1983. He comes from a long lived family and is healthy at 73. The gap between us does make some differences; these days he is less able in some things than I am in some areas, but we manage to muddle along well enough.
