One year doesn't make a difference.
If anything, if the guy's birthday is in January and the girl's
birthday is in December, the difference shrinks to just ONE
month.
Even if that's the case, I don't see what the problem is. I've seen
a number of instances of younger men marrying older women and
having happy marriages. Hugh Jackman, for instance, married a woman
8 years older and their marriage is still going strong.
