Not sure why it really matters. They are both in high school, so it's definitely not a huge difference and I have relatives who had bigger differences than that when they were high school age (I don't think they were still in high school, because I think they dropped). My grandma married my grandpa when she was sixteen to his twenty. One of my aunts was fifteen when she married her over twenty husband (I'd have to check on how old he was, but he already had a daughter from a previous marriage, so yeah). An uncle (who was out of high school) married at nineteen to my aunt, five years older. This is just some age differences where one of my relatives was a teen (although my dad likes to claim there was no such thing when he was that age and this is his parents, his older brother, and his two year younger sister . . . I'm leaning toward a less literal interpretation of what he meant, but we lost him five years ago, so I can't ask).

A couple I know who has been married for years now and dated in high school is a year apart with her the older of the two.

Maybe I'm just missing the point, but I'm not sure what the issue is.
