What my dad called one of the 'most perfect marriages' was that of his Aunt and Uncle. His uncle was 11 years older than his aunt. They married in 1904 and he died September 7,1964. She lived until March 12,1971. They produced three children and at least 12 grandchildren.

I wasn't directing my comment at any one post in particular. Sorry if it was taken that way.

My parents had a 15 year age difference between them with my dad being older. The funny thing is that it must have bothered my dad because he lied to my mother and knocked off a number of years. Shortly after they were married my mother found his drivers licence and found out his real age!
I wish I got the Biography channel now.

When I first met my husband, I thought he was 5-7 years older than he was..... and he was guessing my age at 5-7 years YOUNGER than I was !!! Yup, I robbed the cradle, then lost him much too soon.
You just never know......

My great grandparents were 16 years apart. Great Grandfather was 37 and Great Grandmother was 21 when they arrived in Newfoundland in 1904. I think Great Grandmother was 16 when they married. Dad was told that the customs agent wouldn't believe that they were husband and wife. She is even listed on the ship's manifest which I found on Ancestry.com as "daughter".Yet they had their 2 year old daughter with them and Great Grandmother was pregnant with her second child. What more proof was needed?
