8. My ex-wife was 4 years older than me,
My fiancee is 4 years younger.

Age makes no difference to me, except for this: My finacee and I have a common cultural reference point that my ex and I never had. That makes activities as simple as listening to the radio more fun than I can remember having in the past. One song from the '80s can produce a great conversation between us about any number of topics. I believe that this cultural connection is one of the two or three important things I was missing in my first marriage.
