Quote From: poetmomMy husband is 18 years older than I am, so we fall into this category. Broad generalizations like yours are truly offensive to me. We are VERY happy together, and have found true love with one another. Both of his children (who are 15 and 16 yrs younger than me) say that they've never seen him as happy as he has been in the last eight years....and my three children also say that I have never been happier. Sometimes we get second glances from people when we're walking through the mall hand in hand, but you know what? We don't care! :)
I had to chuckle when you mentioned the hand holding.
It reminded me of when my husband and I first got together.
The first time we held hands in public a young man proceeded to give my wonderful and loving husband a ear full! We were both shocked, speachless.
After that he was reluctant to hold my hand in public, however, I told him who's life are you living that young mans with his beliefs and values or your own?
Well after that he would grab my hand in public all the time lol.
We too are happy, and are happy to hear that your marriage is a happy one as well, there are far to many unhappy marriages, so it really lightens my heart when I hear about happy marriages, of any age.
