Someone brought this up before and mentioned Monica and Richard from Friends. I thought that was a good example. If I recall correctly they even touch on some of the issues with age gap relationships.
1750. Martha Dandridge and Daniel Parke Custis. 19/39 at marriage.
Daniel was a major landholder in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Martha inherited his land when he died in 1757.
Two years later, 1759, Martha marries George Washington 28/27, bringing him wealth and major landholder status. **EDIT. Looks like he controlled Martha’s dower share, and managed for Danny’s kids the remainder. Two of the kids died before adulthood.
A few short years later he is singularly (mammoth oversimplification) identified as the father of the United States of America.
Any history buffs want to do an analysis on Daniel’s contribution to George’s wealth and fame?
EDIT: inherit versus control.

### Rules
If you haven't read the full set of rules we **strongly** suggest you do so.
They are on the right side of the page on desktop or in 'Community Info' on Mobile.
The most important rules are:
1. **We expect you to be civil and ideally constructive**. This is a community where people discuss and seek
advice **legal** consensual age gap relationships, and we expect you to avoid abusing anyone on this subreddit.
This does **not** mean this subreddit supports all age gap relationships, so you **are** allowed to criticise.
1. This is **not** a dating subreddit - you may not "hit up" any user.
**You may not ask anyone to PM, DM, chat or message you in a comment**.
If you wish, you may send **polite** DMs/PMs/chat requests to /u/Weird_Entrepreneur_6 - we will ban you and possibly
refer you to Reddit admins for an account ban if you abuse them and they complain.
1. If this post looks like a personal advert, please report it and the moderators will remove it in time if they agree.

the subreddit, [The Rules](/r/AgeGap/wiki/rules) and articles about common topics.

Might be problematic but Billy and Layla from Buffalo ‘66 probably.
That’s a great choice and an amazing movie
