Thought provoking and informational. I very much enjoyed your piece.

I think that Marcus may have had it right, you just may be an 'old soul', nothing wrong with that and congratulations. An old soul is an open soul, an individual who isn't tied into his/her age group which is a sad thing to behold.

I'm sort of a participant as I married my wife who is fifteen years my junior. Our age difference has never been an issue, ever. If anything its been the source of laying on the floor uncontrollable , belly grabbing laughter. Sometimes the laughter may be at my expense, others at hers.

My 'young' bride has been a teacher, mentor, mother, lover to me in so many more ways than I ever could have imagined.

Thanks for the good story.
