In the older days
When people had lots of children
A man takes time to be established to be able to afford a family..
By the time a man is established afford a family...
If his wife was the same age
She’d be almost too old to start having children...
That’s just biology
It’s changing as people are having less children..
So one or two kids yes.. yes you can be close the same age
6 to 12 kids... You’re going to need an age difference between the man and the woman
My father was one of 15 ... My grandmother had 20 pregnancies gave birth the 21 children... Lost 6 of that 21 for 15 kids total..
That’s just the way it was
Nephew and his wife met while both serving in the Navy . They were a year apart in age. They had 14 kid and would have probably had more. He died a couple of years ago at the age of 43 .
