So I’m not the only one who noticed. The need to make such a statement undercuts the intended purpose.

For whatever it’s worth, one of my wife’s best friends married a man 20 years older, when she was 25. We lost touch with them a long time ago after a major, permanent falling out, but a while back we learned that their marriage lasted at least 35 years.
