My grandfather was well over 17 years older than my grandmother who was 18 when they were married. They stayed married until he died . . . Over 30 years I believe . . .
Maybe the human race has somehow changed in the intervening years. . . which would be pretty fast for genetic alterations.

Different times this would have been a nothing.
My great grandfather was 12 years older than my great grandmother. He saw her for the first time when she was about 3 days old (at church, he was a neighbor)..and told her parents she was the most beautiful thing he ever saw and one day he was going to marry her. He did 16 years later. They were married for almost 70 years when he died. She died a year later. They had 22 children.
Sometimes it works.
