I will say my uncle married a women 20 years older than he was when he was 20. They had a happy marriage. She just recently passed away at the age of 91. He is having a hard time dealing with her death.
So it can work.

I am 6 years older then my husband, our 12th wedding anniversary is in April. All my sisters married younger men and they are all 20+ years married. So, I would say it works.

I've found immaturity is always an issue. I'd much rarer prefer an older man who knows how to treat me like a woman, not a girl. But that's just my take on things.

My grandmother dated and married my grandfather, who was 15 years younger than her. They were in their twenties and thirties at the time; and even then the families were none to happy. However, they had discussed core issues of the same values and beliefs with regard to family, money matters, religion, etc. beforehand and were on the same page beside attraction, they were so cute together; they couldn't have been more happily married until he died in his eighties. Sometimes it works out; it just depends on the people.

My policy on the age-gap...well, I don't really have one. But my dad's brother married a woman 30 years younger than him. So I never judge.
Personally though, I feel like the most important thing is whether or not you love him, and can relate to him.

Hey - I want to marry a woman 30 years younger than me too! Nearly all the women my age (50's) seem burned out. I'm sure there are some who aren't, but the 30's range are full of optimism, enthusiasm, and a cheery outlook.
