READER’S QUESTION: "Hi Evie, I’ve been dating an older man for almost two years –  I’m 25 and he’s 42. He’s never been married, no children, has a great career, great social circle, is a practicing Christian, he’s in good shape and constantly trying to better himself. We get along great and overall have a strong relationship.
