good for you mrjones may you keep smiling till 120, you and your eishes chayil!
Rabbi Avigdor Miller z”l said that an older wife is much better than a younger wife. When a young boy and girl get married, they’re both young and happy but don’t know what will be, what she’s all about, if the marriage will aspire to all the good they dream it should. Yet one thanks Hashem for finally finding their bashert.
But now that you are bothmiddle-aged and B”H with children, one must thank Hashem even MORE for one’s spouse. Because now you appreciate each other more, love each other more, and are more experienced/mature/compatible as a married couple.
