How old is your spouse compared to you?

Mrs. Redneck is five days younger than me. Having birthdays that close seemed like a big deal two decades ago and was one of the reasons we hit it off in college. Now, with kids and bills and all that, it doesn't seem like that big a deal. It's still fun celebrating our birthdays together and I'll kid her about being a year older those five days of the year when we're different ages.

 

I'm working on the Tony Randall plan.

 

Dick Van Dyke too. His wife is 46 years younger than him!

I wonder how Abe Vigoda keeps it up.

 

Wife and two kids all have birthdays in a six-day span. Expensive week.

 

Viagra, probably.

 

Construction crane.

 

Ms. Law is two and a half years younger.

I proposed after being with her three weeks when I was in my early 30s; got married 8 mos later and going on 20 years now.

I think the age thing helps because we share similar experiences.

Then again, the most important thing IMHO for marriage is never forgetting why you fell in love and feeling that that thing is worth fighting for when disagreements come up.

 

The wife is about 6 months older, and she's what most people would generalize when describing someone in their mid-30s: a few years into managment with a lot of growth potential and upward mobility in her career, making enough money to not live on credit, dresses biz-cas (pronounced bɪz-kæʒ, business casual) always, drives a silver midsize sedan, and is a homeowner. But we have no kids and no desire to do so.

Thank fucking god. I'm 34, and despite the fact that I'm starting to gray, most folks think I'm in my 20s because I'm still covering preps for the same money I made at 22. Someone shoot me.

 

Mrs. Ace is nearly four years younger.

 

I'm 10 and a half years older.

 

Mrs. Pern is 10 months younger than I am and, though we've known each other since we were teenagers, we didn't begin dating seriously until we were in our 30s. Three years later, we're married with two kids. I'm glad we didn't get together until we did for numerous reasons, but the main one is that I was a bit of a dipshit in my 20s and I don't think I would have been a good enough boyfriend to convince her to marry my dumb ass.
