Bookmark. There’s a funny thing that happens when people fall in love: We sometimes end up in relationships that might challenge what society believes a “real” relationship looks like. Actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were married from 2005 to 2013 (David Shankbone / CC BY 2.0 DEED).

Take
for example
a relationship in which the two people have a huge age difference. Whether we like it or not
many of us can understand that a middle-aged or older heterosexual man might choose to be with a woman much younger than he is
especially if he has money
power
and status. There are so many celebrity pairings like that
and it’s so frequently perpetuated in movies and TV shows
that while we may disapprove
we still accept their reality. But a young man with a much older woman? Why would a man want to do that? We’ve already seen how it doesn’t work out in the long term
perhaps most famously with Aston Kutcher and Demi Moore
who was 15 years older than Kutcher when they wed—which helped spread the terms “cougar” and “puma” into societal consciousness—and more recently with Hugh Jackman
55
and his soon-to-be former wife
Deborra-Lee Furness
67. Advertisement X. Keep Up with the GGSC Happiness Calendar. Seek out joy together this month. Focusing on those examples
however
can make us forget the many times that huge age differences did work out in the long term. There are couples like director Sam Taylor-Johnson and her husband
actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson
with 24 years between them
French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife
Brigitte Trogneux
who is 25 years older than he is
and the late Tina Turner
who was 16 years older than her husband
Erwin Bach. And
on the opposite end
couples such as actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones
who is 25 years younger than he is
and actors Warren Beatty and Annette Bening
who is 21 years younger. Having experienced two age-gap relationships myself—once with a much younger man
26 to my 48
and a much older man
26 years my senior—I know how transformative they can be
despite societal judgment. They certainly were for me. I discovered those judgments can obscure some nuances that are worth considering
if we’re willing to have a more honest discussion about age gaps. Yes
according to my experience and the research
intergenerational relationships can have drawbacks. But they can also energize us
provide us with new perspectives
and help us to grow. Enter Bugs. “Bugs” rented a room in a house across the street from me. He was just about the most beautiful man I’d ever seen
a young Jude Law-like Adonis with piercing blue eyes
a smile that could melt an iceberg
and a beautiful body that was shaped by years of bicycle racing in his native England. I sometimes felt his eyes on me as I loaded my children or groceries in and out of my minivan
and it made my pulse race. Sometimes
we caught each other’s eyes and smiled at each other
my cheeks a rosy pink from blushing. Eventually
we said hello and I discovered he did landscape work. It just so happened that my husband and I needed some. He came over to look at our yard
and
as I explained my landscape vision
I made a joke about his last name
which begins with “Good.” “There are many ways to be good
” he said with his dazzling smile
as he gave my shoulder a gentle squeeze. Was he flirting with me? We hired him—I did not tell my husband about the squeeze—and sometimes we shared a cup of tea in the yard together and chatted. There was something about him that was different. He seemed wise beyond his 26 years. “What is it about you?” I asked.
