I’ll call and raise you 16 more: my father’s mother’s parents married when she was 16 and he was 42. He was three times widowed, each predecessor dying of diseases that today one set of pills would cure. They stayed together until his death 20 years later.

Might have been the only man around. Life was a bit more difficult.

Ten years age difference?! That's nothing!
