(quoted from Popcornbird.....but 18-81 has been abnormal since the creation of mankind. Maybe 20-30 or 20-40, or even 20-50 would be acceptable in those days.....................)

Hate to disagree PCB but back in the dark ages it was THE done thing for old men to marry young women. I know you're not christian but even Joseph was an old man when he married a very young girl called Mary. And this is not just a Christian 'thing' it happened through all religions, colours and creeds - a man had to work and prove his worth and by the time he could afford to marry - he was old.
I'd be so interested to hear your views on this when you reach 30!
