Julie is 24 years younger than me;it didnt matter one bit when we first got together but if I am perfectly honest, as I now reach the age of 65 both the physical and emotional aspects take on a more demanding role and there are times when I am sure we both find it very stressful.
Sometimes I feel that the word LOVE means different things to different people at various stages in their relationship.
I love my wife now with the same passion that I felt when we first met but that is because I still look at her and think she is,in my eyes,young and beautiful.
On the other hand I believe that my wifes love for me is on a different level simply because of that age difference.
I obviously wouldn't change things as they are (well,yes I do wish I was 20 years younger) but the bottom line is when you start to get into the retirement zone 20 years difference is too much.
