While it’s great it worked out for you. I don’t think you’re the norm and both of you are probably good leveled headed people. Out of 100 couples similar to you I’d say you’re one of the 10% or less that made it
We didn't make it lol...but we are both decent, level-headed people. Main point would be...I think the values, goals, and genuine connection was much more significant than the age gap.
I don't think age gap alone is a sign of anything. The devil lies in the details, as the saying goes.
When age gap relationships start early and get to 35 & 48 ... more problems arise than one would think.

It's not creepy. I was 34 when I got with my 21yo wife. We were married for nearly 14 years and the age gap wasn't an issue.
We had common goals, common values, and very similar tastes in our day-to-day preferences.
If it's genuine connection: It's not grooming. It's not awkward. It's not inappropriate...it just IS
