I saw this topic on Yahoo news the other day. I think the media focuses on the age differences, but what really makes or breaks those kinds of relationships is how well those couples can form a partnership that works.
Providing they're of legal age, a 10-yr or more difference in ages makes little difference in how well two people conduct their relationship.
My niece dated and married a man who's 10-yrs younger then her and they're still together to this day.
Her parents and sister couldn't understand why my niece would ever consider dating let alone marrying a younger man, especially since he had children.
I told my niece that as long as their both happy,have good communication etc who cares. And also that was a precious thing, and far more important then their age difference could be.And if her parents and sister weren't willing to accept him and had a problem with their being together then let it be her families problem.
