But Murphy is almost exactly 10 younger than I am. At first I really wasn't sure, thinking it might be a problem. But it really hasn't. Rather than making me feel older, it's done just the opposite.

Just read this again and caught a couple of glaring errors (well, to me they're glaring
) So I'd like to clarify myself if you all don't mind.
I meant to say that my husband is exactly, almost to the day,
2 years older than I.
Also "But it really hasn't" should read "But it really isn't."
Okay, now that I've taken care of my "goofs", I'd like to add to my original response.....
I also have to agree with Wombat and Wombat's Dinner....it most definitely is the MENTAL fit! You really do have to be able to love together, cry together, and most important to me, LAUGH together!
If you have enough in common and understand each other then age really doesn't enter into it except for your own hang-ups, whatever they may be.
