AZ, Ive heard from Shadchanim that until the popularization of the age issue, mothers of boys were stuck on much younger girls. That is no longer the case, B”H, and now some mothers even request redding similar age girls, and even older girls, for the benefit of the Klal and for the benefit of maturity/life experience.
Not as much of a rush to rob cradles with very young and of either extreme “teeny bopper- fun loving” type or “in the clouds unrealistically Hashkafically demanding” type, less grounded, straight out of Sem girls.
Yasher Koach, AZ! You probably helped Shalom Bayis too! Whether the guys are more or less mature than the girls, two immature young marrieds is more of a recipe for disaster than one.
