There was a 20 year gap between my husband and I. These are the things I appreciated most that were directly connected to his age.
1) More experience and wisdom meant that I trusted him to know best, protect me and keep me safe and I respected him more because of that.
2) He had a greater confidence and experience with sex and led me into finding myself and learning what I like
3)He had long since lost that 'excited puppy' stage of making love. Sex lasted a lot longer and he knew what he was doing. He focused on my pleasure and breaking down my boundaries.
4) There was a natural power exchange just because of the age difference and that gave me a lot of fulfilment.
5)He'd already raised a child as a single dad and was settled and dependable when it came to raising our children.
Disadvantages are
1)Sadly his body was more vulnerable than I understood. He died of an unexpected brain hemorrhage and I have been widowed young whilst our children are still fairly young.
2) His fashion sense was sometimes questionable because he didn't particularly care what he looked like if he was comfortable.
3)He was very set in his ways and it was hard to get him to change his mind or change his opinion (although this was also a positive advantage a lot of the time.)

@PatientlyWaiting25 Everything has an advantage and a disadvantage. What we need to consider is whether the advantage outweighs the disadvantage. Go for it if the advantage is more. Drop it if the disadvantage is more
