Oh, I totally agree. My husband (of 10 years) is 11 years younger than me. When we met, he was 21 and I was 32. I was like, really? But... time has told the tale with this one. Age doesn't really matter. Now we have 2 kids. 8 & 5.

The willingness to jump in together and do the work of relationship is really what it's all about. And by "the work of relationship," I mean anything from a sexy friendship to a fling to a long term live in with kids.

Goddess help us.

Great piece. Thanks Carol.
