I think a gap isnt so much an issue if both parties are around the thirty mark or older, an age difference between a 30 something and forty or even fifty something can add texture and depth ti a relationship, but the same gap as poster above said at a younger age can just be too much, when one partner is excited about finishing their masters and their partner is interested in playing video games
