What is the age difference between you and your spouse?

[sbgrace]

We're about six months apart. I imagine those who meet in school (university, high school, whatever) are more likely to fall close in age than those who meet post graduation?

 

I honestly don't think it matters much at all in terms of healthy marriages.

[pdalley]

My husband is fifteen years older than I am but most of the time acts fifteen years younger. It all evens out. :lol:

[Um_2_4]

My DH is 10 years older. And I make sure to remind him regularly that he "caught a youngun'"  :lol:

(Although it usually happens without me meaning to, he'll mention something from late 70s for example and I will say "oh, I never heard of that I was only 2 (Or the like) when that happened" or whatever :smilielol5: )

[MollyAnn]

DH is 3 and a half years older.

I used to do this with my first husband.  He was 7 years older than me.  He asked me where I was when Kennedy was shot.  I told him I wasn't born yet.

[LostSurprise]

I have a younger brother who's older than my husband, and he was in the same year at school as my next youngest sibling after that. 

 

He's 1 year 10.5 months younger than I am, and the first thing his mother ever said to me was that I was robbing the cradle.  :laugh:

[Crimson Wife]

DH is 14 months older. We met in college when he was a sophomore and I was a freshman.

[bluemongoose]

He is 1.5 years older than me approx.

[Maus]

I'm three years, seven months older than he is.  We met in our college marching band, where we both played clarinet.  He was not a freshman, he was a junior; I was "still" a senior, because I'd changed my major after I already was a senior.  We didn't start dating until after I'd graduated a year later, so when we married, he was 22 and I was 26.

[Julie Smith]

Hahaha!  That happens with DH and I all. the. time.

 

That happens to DH and me often enough. He is only 8 1/2 years older, but I was always oblivous to many things for a long time. So put that together and volia.

[Melissa in Australia]

[DawnM]

I am 6 months older than DH. We didn't meet until we were in our mid 20s, but we did graduate the same year in high school.

 

I learned from him that if you have a late summer or Fall baby, put them in the grade lower than the state says they can go in to. He hated having an October birthday and being young. He started K at age 4.

 

The problem came in the summer. He used to play summer baseball and other sports and he always had to go with the kids in the grade below him because he didn't have the age by the cut off date. All his friends were together in another field.

 

Don't know why I threw that in there, but it was on my mind. Thankfully all my babies were late winter/early Spring babies and it was never an issue.

[Twinmom]

My DH is eight years older than I am.

[sheryl]

I voted other and thought it was funny LOL .

 

I am married to my dh as you'll see in my signature.  There is 3 1/2 weeks difference b/t us and I'm older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :laugh:
