Does age difference matter when it comes to relationships?

That question is being asked after 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison of ‘Green Mile’ fame married 16-year-old Courtney Alexis Stodden, an aspiring country music singer, in a Las Vegas ceremony last month.

While Stodden’s parents adamantly support the marriage, a lot of people are wondering whether it sends the wrong message in regards to age difference in a relationship.

Ross & Burbank encouraged listeners to discuss their thoughts on the subject, and how their past relationships have worked out for them with regards to age difference.
