I think there are real reasons as to why it's tougher to make age-differential relationships last, but if you can do it, age is just a number. (With the caveat, of course, that you're both actually adults. Gotta wait until both people's brains have fully developed. Which is also why I'd raise the minimum age limit for military service to 21.)
