Chin your up!:) I wrote "the most common" but it also happens that this difference may be , for example 10 years and both spouses live "long and happy";-) It depends on the character. And one more thing, which you may know, when we don't expect something to happen, it will actually "meet us". Just be yourself and look around!
Take care |

| I do not care about the difference in ages of the spouses... but I always wondered how do they deal with(or if that is even a problem) when one of them is approaching retirement age while other is 10+ years younger. I mean, I know of a couple or two like that... I never really even considered asking them about it but I suspect it might be an issue for some of them. |

The younger one would probably be wise to activate the parental controls on the pc.

Now, that is a point to consider. On second thought...when it comes to that, age is irrelevant. :lol: |

It wasn't an issue for my parents. Nothing changed. The only problem it caused came later, when my mother was dying and I had to go to a lot of trouble to get various accounts and papers changed. Everything had been set up on the assumption that my father would die first, since he was much older, but my mother ended up dying first.
But that had nothing to do with how they got along. |
