The law is mainly interested in age differences when one person is below the age of consent.

The age of consent varies depending on where you are, and sometimes what gender you are.

Generally speaking if both people are above the age of consent and not closely related to each other, there are no legal issues with their conducting a romantic relationship. Romantic relationships involving differences in age are relatively common. Sometimes men and women are involved with people who are 20 or more years in age difference between them.

Just because there are no legal impediments doesn't mean that everyone would approve of a large difference in ages. In some cases (for example teacher-student relationships) it may be considered illegal or unethical to maintain a relationship.

Does the Bible say anything about age difference in relationships?

No in fact Abraham and Sarai were ten years apart. More than likely, Ruth and Boaz were much farther apart in age than that, so age difference is not an issue. It does however put a premium on family, espescially parental, approval. It was unthinkable for a couple to marry in biblical times without approval of both families.

What should the age difference between a man and woman?

It really depends from couple to couple, some people live happily as a couple with over 10 years apart in age, but as far as a teenager dating an adult that is a little different. It is my personal belief that a teenager shouldn't date an adult. A lot of times the older adult is taking advantage of the younger teen and in most states that would be considered statutory rape.
