If you both have a real connection, and can make conversation as well as knock boots (old skool alert!) then it's not icky.
But be honest about the connection part.

I could not have said it better myself Sultana.
my brother in law is married to a woman 17 years his junior... she was 14 when they met, he was 31 ... he married her after she turned 17 her mother had to sign minor emancipation papers.............. They have been married 11 years now... and the Ick factor still remains because she still acts childlike and he treats her like that.... Their couple dynamic is pretty wierd for all of us to be around and that has not changed with time.
Seeing this situation has skewed my views on age differences, I personally would not go more than 8-10 years in either direction... but in the end... it's the couples' decision, not mine.
Thanks,
