Thirteen years is not really a lot.
She is 19 and he is 32.
That is a lot.
You can't see that?
Well then we must respectfully disagree on some things.

My father, 18, proposed to my mother, 30, and she accepted. My grandparents would not allow them to marry (this was 1948). A short while later, my mother moved away and told my father to look her up if he was still interested when he was 21.
On his 21st birthday, my mother was in NYC (3 states away) dating a doctor. She received a telegram from my father asking if she would still have him. She dumped the doctor and flew back to my father's arms. Shortly thereafter, they were married.
Three kids later, my father went blind from glaucoma (complications from diabetes). Two more kids (I was her fifth C-section at 43) and she later got breast cancer. They loved each other through 16 years of marriage, 5 kids, two debilitating diseases, and everyone who knew them attested to the amazing nature of their love.
They died 5 months apart in 1967, in love until the end.
You may feel 19 and 32 is wrong, but I know better. It entirely depends on the two people involved, and the ages are entirely irrelevant.
Do you feel the same way about 21 and 34?
I am under 40 years old. I have been with my husband for 18+ years - married now for almost 13 of those 18+ years. He will always be 13+ years older than I if you want to do the math, just as Jessica's husband will always be 13 years older than her.
Congrats to Jessica and her husband!
My rule is that if I'm old enough to be their father I don't even look.
11 years difference is the youngest I've dated, and the worst heart breaker I've endured.
He knew 3 of his 4 grandchildren. Thank God, Mom knows all 4.
Um...that IS thirteen years...
My father was 20 years older than my mother. You think I shouldn't be here?
My favorite professor is 17 years older than his "dollybird." They are quite a couple, and hubby and I love them dearly.
Mrs. Professor married Mr. Professor when she turned 18. She's now in her 60s.
