Yes, it is. Several authors cite infidelity as a reason for breaking up. People tend to lose their sex drive over time, so the person that is 20 years older will have less of a sex drive generally. As time goes on, the younger partner might turn to an outside source for sex, which can cause the marriage to fail. Also taste in music, politics and other things can slowly erode a marriage if either partner turns to peers for similar tastes. They can work, yes. But, the chances of them working are less than normal marriages and normal first time marriages only last on average 8 years (according to the US Census).

Am 18 and my BF is 23 Is 5 year age gap between two partners too much?

Depends on your maturity level. I just turned 18 and my gf is almost 20. In most cases a 5 year age difference isn't too much, although this somewhat depends upon the specific ages in question. A 30 year old and a 35 year old would experience no problem as a result of the age difference, but a 16 year old and an 11 year old would have a problem.
