it depends, when a woman marries earlier may be 23+, she may gap it with 3 or 4 yrs, but when a woman marries later like 35+, its advisable not to delay herself too much,because,women are like flowers, so dt she will not have to be carrying bele after 40+. So, i think 1.5 or 2 yrs gap is o.k.
My opinion anyway!

depends also on other factors, such as the financial/professional situation of the couple, the place they live in and so on. Though people usually get married when they have a job and a decent financial situation, things can change and delay the original plan. The wife can get a promotion and decide to wait a little bit before getting pregnant again, the couple can decide to invest in building house or other big investments in between pregnancies and so on.

It is important to remain flexible and wise when deciding to have another child. Sometimes it is best to re-evaluate the original plan. I've seen too many couples popping babies out without making serious plans for their finances/future, just because "they planned it that way". Some of the marriages are shaken by the new arrival of babies every couple of years, some other i wonder how they'd find room for their kids once they are teens or how they'd pay for their university fees...

My neighbor has a 25-year-old boy, an 18-year-old boy, a 9-year-old gal, and a 5-year-old boy.

Isn't the IDEAL age gap supposed to depend on each families, needs, capabilities/finances and wants?
