mathmarm Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hubby asked me to pose this question to the community, he would like the data for one of his classes. If we could get 100 replies, that would be much appreciated. ETA: I changed the poll options to be Husband or Wife, because there are a few dads on the boards also, so "Me" and "My Spouse" isn't very clear.

dbmamaz Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hubby is 6 months older than I am. It was pretty funny to us that we are so close - both of us had seriously dated someone 17 years older than ourselves before getting together (which explains why dh thought he'd never have kids - before me, his serious relationships were with older women) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathmarm Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks to everyone who has responded to the poll thus far. And no, this isn't about just homeschoolers. It doesn't matter how or where your kids are educated, if you have kids or anything like that. Just some basic data he's compiling for a class he's teaching. The only stipulation is that the other person is your spouse. A big thank you to all of those who have replied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuddleJumper1 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Dh is 1 yr and 9 months older than me. Side note - my mom is 6 months older than my dad and my grandmother (mom's mom) is 6 months older than my grandfather. For some reason I always thought that was funny as a kid.

OneStepAtATime Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I am 5 years older than DH. When he was 22 and I was 27 and dating, it was kind of an issue at times (cradle robber was a comment I got upon occasion). Now that we are past our 30's, no one cares anymore. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingiguana Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Well, I voted that I'm older (the wife!), but that's a bit misleading. We're less than a month apart. I have wondered if the average age gap between spouses has gotten smaller since widespread schooling (of the variety where everyone ends up in a certain grade based on their birthdate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
