We are traditionalist, and we should be different than the world. No traditionalist daughter should be allowed to go out by herself without a chaperone, or they will end up doing the same things as the girls in the world. Any parent that allows their daughters to go out by themselves is just asking for it. I've seen it over and over and over among trads.

I whole heartedly agree with this.

Unfortunately, in my experience, practically all the USA SSPX trad parents that I have known, allowed/allow their daughters to go out without a chaperone or live in another town.

What’s the biggest age difference you’ve personally seen in a marriage?( where the man is younger and the woman is older)

Do you think marriages with large age gaps are wrong?

The fr. Angeli sister post is a good example.
Another is randy travis. His wife was some 30 years older than him.
These men are not marrying for the #1 Catholic reason to marry: to beget children.
As for marriages with large age gaps where the woman is younger, it would depend upon the ages of each person. An 80 year old man marrying a 65 year old woman is fine. A 30 year old marrying a 15 year old is not fine.

Math to the rescue: half your age, +7 = your lower limit. There could be exceptions but this formula is pretty spot-on.

So the 60 year old lady/man at chuch can marry the unmarried 37 year old man/lady at church?

Doesn't seem o.k. to me.

im sorry, you're just ensuring that this 15 year old turns into a 25-year-old divorced atheist

Or an abused puppet.
