in answer to the question: do you think marriages where there's a big age difference can work out?
I have been happily married for almost two years now to a man who is three years older than me. So I don't know about age difference, but I do know a thing or two about love: it kicks you flat on your ass and makes you do things and say things you never thought you would, and the whole thing often comes as a big surprise. True love challenges you. True love makes you challenge yourself. It makes you surprise yourself. I guess, as related to the question about significant age difference is concerned, you don't really know what's what until you find yourself in the situation. There's no book or no amount of feminist theory that can prepare you for it. Because here's the thing about falling in love when it's real: it's the most natural thing in the world, but it's also a big leap of faith.
