I am 5' 7". Dh is 5'8". Our kids will never make it to the NBA or the pro volleyball circuit much to their dismay.
How one tall is you SO?
I admit, I wish dh was taller. Tall men have always made me feel safe. I think because my grandpas and dad were all tall.
Side note...
DD met a cute guy at work. He has been heavily flirting. Like winking at her flirting and such. She mentioned he is her same height, so she has sort of put the thoughts of him aside. I made sure to remind her not to discount someone based on something so silly.

DH is 6'. There are 7 men total for both our sides. All are at least 6'. I was a bit concerned about teen DS but he has grown a lot recently! Family says he takes after his uncle that didn't sprout until very late and is now 6'4".
I am only 5'4". I am also the shortest amongnst DH and his siblings/spouses as well as the oldest so I feel old and short around them. Ha ha.

Dh says he's 5'11" but in reality he's about 5'9" or a bit taller. I'm short so he's plenty tall for me!

The guy I'm dating (not SO status  ) is 5'11". I'm only 5'1", so he's plenty tall enough for me. |

6' 1". So are our boys. I was the shortest person in the family until sons married. One DIL is about 5' 1", and the other is about my height.

I'm 5'9. My husband is 6'2. My daughter is mad. She wishes she could be short. She's 14 and around 5'6 or so and still growing.

He is just a bit over 6'. Which makes him the shortest guy I ever dated. I wore 4" heels to work the other day and when I came home I was standing in the kitchen and we were the same height. My whole family is tall. I have cousins who are 6'8. My grandpa always told us girls we needed to find a man tall enough that when we went out on dates we could wear heels and a feather in our hats. . |

I'm 5'1" and dh is 6'2". ds14 is about 6' and I'm guessing will grow a bit more. ds5 is too soon to tell how tall he'll be, if he doesn't start eating he may stay 3'6" forever  |

I'm 5'6 and DH is 6'6. We don't have children so no height to pass down. But FIL is 6'8. I seem to have always dated tall men so I forget that they are above average height until I see someone staring or someone asks DH, "How tall are you?" It doesn't bother them.

DH is 6'5" and I'm 5'4" and we look ridiculous together Same! I do love that DH is tall, though. I love a tall man. Both girls got at least some of the height gene from him, though. Oldest is 15 and 5'9" and the youngest is 13 and 5'7". Doctor says they're both still growing. |

DH is 6'1 - 8-9" taller than me depending on the person measuring me. (Getting my bone density scan years ago, I was told I shrunk from 5' 4-3/4" to 5' 3". But then a few years later, a different doctors' office measured me and I was up to 5' 4-1/2". Go figure!!!)

DH is 6'5 and I am 5'11. If we had kids they would be giants. My cousin is the same height as me and she married a man 6'5, and their 4th grader looks like an 8th grader...he's super tall.

Dark hair, dark eyes and tall. At least DH is tall  And I have already accepted full blame for any future children likely not being tall enough to be basketball players! |

I always say that I'm 5'2" but now that I'm older I'm probably closer to 5'1"  Dh is 6'3" and is the shortest out of the three brothers in his family  Both of our dd's are taller than me now so I'll always be the shortest in the family |

I am 5'2" and DH is 5'10"... my poor children had no chance to be tall.
Our DD20 has been the same height and weight since probably 7th grade. She is happy with her petite figure except when she shops for clothes. She does not want to wear junior type clothing anymore but some misses run too big even in extra small. I WISH I had her problem.
Our DS22 is just average in every way. I know he probably wishes to be taller but he has both taller and shorter friends.

I love to see variations in couples! Thank you! But I've seen pictures, we do LOL. And then dancing? The height difference makes it so much more difficult but the thing strangers take the time to point out to us is how much fun we are having and/or how in love we are  I actually love the difference, and he does make me feel safe and more feminine. |

My husband told me he was 5' 10" - but he's not. I'm 5' 8.5” and I'm a little taller than he is. I think men get measured wearing their shoes, and women always seem to be told to take them off for measuring. My cousin is 6' 5" and he married a woman who is 6' tall. Their kids (boy and girl) have always been very tall for their ages. And when they were young, they often encountered people who expected them to act older than they really were - because they looked like a six-year-old instead of three, for example. It can be hard. |

I am 5'5". DH was always 6'3" but he seems to have lost an inch. DS#1 is about 6'2" and DS#2 is about 6'. I never think I am short until I see a picture of the 4 of us. I was at a crop recently and a friend told me that I look like a munchkin next to them.

I love to see variations in couples! I don't know if dewryce ever had this experience, but early in our relationship, when DH and I were out together, I got nasty comments a couple of times from taller women who felt I should have left a tall guy like DH to taller women, because they felt there were plenty of shorter guys I could have dated/married. DH's sister, who was out with us one of the times this happened, and who stands almost 6 feet tall, admitted that she often felt this way when she saw shorter women and taller men together. |

DH started out at 6'. (I'm 5'7") Since he has had several health dilemmas, he is now 5'9". He is the shortest of his male siblings. He has a sister who always says she is 5'12". She thinks it sounds better than 6 feet.  |

I'm 5'7" and my husband is 6' right on the dot. My only other significant relationship before him was with a man who was shorter than me. It never bothered me but he had all kinds of issues with it.

) is 5'11". I'm only 5'1", so he's plenty tall enough for me.
