i dont think so. is just a stereotype thinking that man should be a few years older then the woman in their marriage. a large difference in the age regardless of gender just seems odd to some people.

Were there any women in the Bible who were older than their husbands?

The custom in biblical times was for the woman to be younger - indeed perhaps as young as 12-14 years of age and the man more mature. There is no 'restriction' mentioned to prevent an older woman marrying a younger man. Consider the practice of brothers marrying their deceased brothers wife to raise an heir. If the eldest brother married an equivalent aged woman and died, his younger brother could have been younger than his brother's wife.

Is it true that an older man will become more energetic by marrying a younger woman and vice versa?

The marriage is not the source of the energy. The energy comes from the individuals. An older person could be energetic enough to marry a younger person. No...I`m an energetic older woman and married a much younger man who then became lethargic. It really depends on personality and chemistry. Statistically, there's a definite tendency to "yes", but that doesn't mean anything in an individual case.
