My husband is 36 and I turned 52 yesterday. We have been together for 16 years. We have no problem with our 16 year age gap. He is an ER Dr. & I am a children's Librarian.
A good relationship does not ignore the differences of the individuals but takes the differences of the two and encourages their unique abilities to grow, together and as individuals. It's hard. Hard work but like any masterpiece it's well worth it. When you look across the room and he is looking back at you in awh. You smile and you know it's not the age, it's not the income, it's not physical beauty. It's Love.
I loved the story. My husband has wished more than once that he'd stopped to put on a hat and gloves before venturing out in the snow to collect his wife. And I laughing, I have taken his hands in mine and lead him inside and "warmed him up."
Where you peeking in the window? We loved the story very much.
