I don’t think a cookie cutter can be used to solve this problem.
It depends on the two people.
(For the record I was 19 and my wife was 18 when we got married in 2002.)

I was never that comfortable when my date turned out to be either too young or old for me.
My entire time in high school when I never dated (too poor), I viewed dating within the same class as normal… ie, freshman-freshman or senoir-senoir. However, the social status of the younger usu got a major boost if they dated someone in an older class, while the status of the older usu took a minor hit. More severe status hits were directly porportional to the age difference.
By the time I graduated, my Grandpa, who was a widower, remarried. The new stepgrandma was younger than both my mom and one of her sisters. In family gatherings, I could tell that my mom’s siblings were not very loving towards the new stepgrandma, yet stayed cordial for the duration of the visits.
By the time I was dating, there was an inner voice that would frequently tell me if someone I liked was too young. If she was a bit older than me, the same voice would say “Impress your high schoool friends at the next reunion”.
Anyway, my wife was a year younger than me on our wedding day. We are the same age after her birthday until mine, 3 months every year.
My father-in-law celebrated his 40th birthday by marrying a 20 year old.
My dad gave me a lot of good advice including … remember. you will be marrying the mother of your children.
Good sound advice.
I’m so wierd that I review a relationship much like a alliance between two countries. You do not want to join with a weak person that will bring you down. Example: If I were Germany I do not want to marry an Italy or old Austia-Hungary.

In essence it’s the same thing just on a much smaller scale.
My 50 year old sister married her son’s 16 year old friend.
Beat that, Leslie.

Sick!
Has the marriage lasted?
Never mind her age, look at her tits. If they are big, just marry her.
That’s what I did and we are coming up on our 15th anniversary. BTW, she is 35 and I am 42.
Cougar with nice boobs. Not a bad deal. :-D
