How many age difference between you and your wife have?

When I'd like to know the age difference between you and your wife, is the above expression correct? If not, could you correct me?

p.s. I mean that 'the age difference' is such as 'two years' or 'three years'.

Thanks.

Sorry, but your expression is not natural. You could say, "What is the age difference between you and your wife?" (Some people would not want to answer that, however.) _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb
