May December romances and marriages do work for some people. I believe they work as well as marriages where the partners are closer in age.
I am 63 and my wife is 28. We have been together for 7 years. Age is just a number. If two people are compatible the relationship can flourish and if they are not the relationship is problematic.
Some relationships exist for a finite period of time, others seem to transcend the passage of time. Age difference does not automatically doom the couple
