In Korean culture, it’s considered ideal for a woman to have a spouse that’s either 4 years or 8 years older. I have no idea why actually - probably something to do with compatibility - but Mr. Bee and I are 4 years apart. I like that he’s older because I feel like I can depend on him and as the oldest child in my family, I was always the one that was depended on. I think it’s the perfect difference for us. :)

What’s the age difference between you and your fiance? Does the age gap affect your relationship in any way?

My fiance is 6 and a half years older than me.

The difference between us is 9 months, so basically when I was being conceived, he was being born! We’re both the youngest, and because of this, we have a lot in common.

We are 4 years apart, which is perfect. I’ve always been pretty “mature” for my age and finding someone who was older, but still young at heart was like winning the lottery for me. I’m also the oldest, so it’s nice that someone takes care of me for once.

FI is three years older. I like it because I tease him about being old. I don’t know that it makes a big difference, he’s very mature in the important ways (although still a total goofball) but I think that’s more about his personality than his age.

Well, I guess I’m the first to be older in the relationship, but only by 40 days. Really, I don’t think age effects us at all. We are extremely compatable and compliment each other well!

My wife is four years younger than me. It definitely impacts our relationship, because she has a very limited knowledge of what happened in the early 80’s. So whenever the 80’s come up, I feel very old…

I am older than my fiance by 5 years but he is very mature for his age and I am immature for my age. So it balances us out just fine :-)

My husband and I are 4 years apart. I like my husband being older because he’s more mature in some ways and think differently on some certain things. Also I’m the oldest in the family, so it’s nice being pamper. In chinese zodiac says it’s best signs being in a relationship or compatible four to eight years apart.

We’re one year and four months apart… which to me is basically the same age. I actually have never really thought about age in relation to us, but probably because there’s not much difference!

FI is six years older. The way that I look at it, boys take longer to mature so it works out! We tease each other about our ages, and sometimes one of us doesn’t get a reference (like he didn’t know who Beyonce was), but other than that, it does not affect us at all.

The four/eight year thing may have to do with Chinese astrology. According to the Chinese zodiac, you are most compatible with people whose age differs from you in mutiples of four. So people who are 4, 8, 12, 16, etc years apart get along the best.

Mr. Bluebell is 1 year and one month older than me, but since he didn’t speak any English when they came to the US they held him back a year in school, so we went through school the same time. I don’t think about the age difference hardly at all, except to make fun of him for being old since he’s extra sensitive about it because he was always the oldest in his class. :-)

I’m also the older one in the relationship. I’m three years older. We are mostly on the same page but I worry about when it’s time to have kids that we might not be!

He’s 4 years older - the only time I think about our age difference is when he mentions his travels - he’s been EVERYWHERE and I pout and think, well, maybe in 4 years I’ll have caught up with Mr. World Traveler.

i am 9 months older than my bf. he likes to say he’s into older women. i just roll my eyes. he’s the oldest in his fam [and only has a younger sister] so he’s very responsible and protective and pays tons of attention to me, which works perfectly as a flighty attention starved middle child.

the only problem we face is that he constantly complains about being too old for stuff; at the ripe age of 24, which automatically makes me older by default. sometimes i can’t stand that goober. ;-)

im 5 months and 2 days older than my bf… but because we were born in different years, i tease and tell him he should call me “noona”.. (older sister in korean). im an oldest and he’s an oldest - we basically make up for what the other lacks in terms of responsibility and maturity and take turns. i do find, however, that in terms of where we are in our lives, im much more ready to settle down than he is… i guess this is where it would be good if he was 4 years older =).

my fiance is 4.5 years older than me and i think it’s perfect :) i’ve always been more mature for my age….so i think it balances out quite nicely. also, he’s more neurotic about the “grown up” things and i’m more neurotic about uh… other things. so i think we’re a fine fit in that sense.
