Reply To: Wife older than husband: How is it working out?

Taller wife, a true story form our family.
My paternal grandfather was 5′ tall. In 1917 he was engaged to my grandmother who was the same height. He was drafted into the US Army and sent off to fight in WWI. My grandmother remained at home with her parents and finished high school and worked in my Great Grandfather’s office doing the accounts.
Zaidy returned from Europe and was discharged from the Army in the spring of 1919. He hurried to Brooklyn to see his family and his Kallah, My grandmother had continue to grow while he was away…she was now 5’9″ tall. They were married in June 1919 and enjoyed 58 years as husband and wife before she was niftara.
Every picture that they arranged had her sitting and him standing. Every non-posed picture shows them as the mismatched (by height) but happy couple they were.
