I like having one at a similar life stage as well. Mine is 7 years older, so I consider him to be in the same generation. It's helpful that we can understand each other's cultural references and such.
We also both have kids in our county's public school system, though my daughter is entering her last year of elementary school and his son (I think) might be starting his first year of high school. But we can both lament things about our local school system, for example.
