Just to add on to what Ricky said, one of my friends who is about 5ft8 has a wife of 6ft2 - she's just expecting their 3rd child and they are a most lovely and loving couple. Outside package is one thing, it's the inside that counts.
Claudia - forever having a hard time buying clothes for the legs are longer than the trousers most of the time - for I'm 5ft11 and had a terrible time in my 20ties coming to terms with it !
