here's a good argument for those who think that age matters in a relationship.
An abstract: ~Niham

[ I had a cousin who married a man twice her age.
She had known him all throughout her childhood.
Her spouse, a family friend of the family,
came to visit them often when she was young.
I asked, "How can you bear to marry someone so old?"
To that she replied, "Dear, he raised me to love him."
And turned her gaze to the claret sky.

"He raised me to love him."

She then nodded towards the settling sun.
The whole sky seemed to be set aflame from the sunset.
"Look at the clouds. All burnished in gold.
See how they stop for no one, slowly drifting into nowhere, without reason?"

I stuffed my hands in my pockets. "Yeah, it's pretty." ]
