For the last month, I've been "living" with my 59 year old uncle and his 37 year old wife. They are by far one of the BEST couples I know. They laugh all day long and rarely argue. They are positive and they truly seem to complete one another. They have 3 greyhound dogs that are a part of their family. So no, I do not feel that age matters.....as long as you are on the same page and understand what you want in the future than you can make any age difference work! (except maybe hugh heffner....lol)
