Not to be rude, but if a 20 year old male marries a 28 year old female (for sake of discussion, not taking into account relative maturity – we’ll assume an unusually mature 20 year old) — they could still end up with crowded house full of children, and when she is 78 and he is 70, the age gap won’t seem very significant at all (and since women last longer, she’ll probably avoid the problem of a long widowhood, though that isn’t a problem in the frum community since in our community there are lots of grandchildren by them).
