Age difference = 28 years

By "Americans", are you referring to Filipino-Americans?

I've seen age gaps as much as 40 years. The only advice I received many years ago is that it is best to marry a Filipina that is close to 30 or older - I got that from a Filipino Pastor and friend of the family before I even began to consider marrying a Filipina. Generally you don't see huge age differences between Filipinos who live in the Philippines - I am assuming that would probably also be true between a Fil-Am and a petitioned Filipina.

In my particular case both times the difference was about 15 years.

He's 43...

I'm 32...:-)

That's 11 years difference...

By Filipino standard, that would already raise some eyebrows. :-) But then with the new era, that age difference is already accepted. Actually, opinions will differ depending on the age group. Individuals on their 20's would say, "Gosh why? That's old". :-) People on their 30's and above would say, "Hmm, that's a perfect match."

Generally, with my age group, more than 20 years difference is really way too much. I have nothing against couple having that much of age gap. But I would never ever go beyond that border line. My fiance thinks so. I mean, I want to enjoy married life as much as possible and spend wonderful years with my husband as many years as possible... with God's will...:-)
