Despite gender-neutral pronouns, it would be a LOT more surprising if the younger member were male.

For what it's worth, my husband is ~10 years older than I am.

Of course, you were probably assuming a heterosexual couple.

How old were you when you got together? The 10 year age difference seems to become less relevant if both parties have finished school, have a full-time job, do similar things in their spare time, etc.

Oh, it absolutely makes a difference, and I was in my early 20s at the time.
