Up until my husband, I had never seriously dated anyone that wasn't at least 5 years older than myself. I liked it that way. We clicked.

The oldest was a 10 year difference. And, I almost married that one. (Until a sister broke us up -- No joke.) Guess he had a thing for ZTAs!

I am married to the perfect man for me now, but he's only 2 years older.

I think it has to do with the people involved.

My grandparents and great grand-parents all have huge age differences. My mother and father have a 7 year difference. It seems very normal to me.
