There was a 7 year age gap between my parents.....In theory age gap should not be a major issue. Adults are adults regardless of age.....However in practical terms the bigger the age the more potential problems may arise.....

For example with a very large age gap one will lose your partner from old age just while you are relatively young.......Also old age sickness will cause mental misery for the younger one watching an elderly loved one fade away......

Age is just a number but from a practical point of view I think age gaps that are really wide should be avoided......
