Officer Darren Wilson gets married to fellow Ferguson cop

68. It's not miles (because that, within a decade anyway, is a function of personal health

and genetics), it's shared life experiences. Ten years apart there aren't as many of those. And since DW is off the force, the one thing they have in common, policing, is now ancient history. That's why it's best if she was an early hire--she can collect her pension and they can live off that while they both find new work. I'm sure some compound in Idaho might need security guards or something.

Not saying these relationships can't work, but it often proves difficult. At some point, there's resentment--particularly if, way too late in the relationship, the man decides he wants children, or, if the male is older, the woman decides she wants to kick up her heels and she's tired of being a nurse (Larry King's previous wives, e.g., by and large).

If there has to be an age difference, it's better for the woman to be older if the couple wants to shuffle off this mortal coil around the same time--they live longer.
