My general rule of thumb is that the age difference needs to be less than one-fourth the age of the younger person of the relationship. Differences greater than that mean there is less common experience on which to build a successful relationship.
As with other rules of thumb, there are exceptions. If your current relationship is one of an exception to my rule of thumb, I am truly happy for you. But I think this one would apply to most people.
