    "Concept?" Are you asking us whether we think age difference matters?

    I am five months older than my wife. That seemed only slightly significant when we married ... on the license it said I was 23 and she 22, and that felt good. Now that we are both 70 it makes no difference at all, if it ever did.

    There is one couple in the church I pastor where the wife is several years older than her husband, and she is a little sensitive about that. Cannot see that it matters, otherwise, however.

    I am a whole 4 months older than my first (and only) wife. We got married at the ripe old age of 18 and have been married for 31 years now.

    Hubby is 2 years and 8 months older than I am. It doesn't matter a bit to me.

    DH is 4.5 years older than me (I checked 5-7 years since there wasn't a choice for 4 years). He's 5 years older than me in school. He was my youth group leader. :D

    Hubby is 2 years younger than I am.

    My late husband was 11 years older than me.

    Age makes no difference....love does.
