Sarek: Spock married?

I don't understand - Spock was born in 2230 and Saavik was born c. 2264. Yes, that's a 34-year age gap, but by the time of their wedding, Spock would have been about 100 and Saavik 65. Considering how long Vulcan's live, that's middle-aged for both of them.
Okay, that’s fair. I guess my reaction comes from mentally seeing them as they were in The Wrath of Khan.

The teacher/student-mentor/mentee thing, the age difference, the age role reversal in TSFS....lots of reasons the relationship feels off.
Parallel-y, Kelvin Spock winds up in a relationship with Uhura, also a student of his.

I always figured the line was meant to allude to Spock in some way, but it was never brought up again. Nor should it be. 
Toss it into the pile with the Klingons joining the Federation, setting course for the first city of the Klingon Imperial Empire, the WWIII thing, etc.

Given how fandom lost their shit both of the previous times that it was revealed that Spock had a previously unknown sibling, I would just rather not go down that road again.
To add to this; I could imagine Amanda might become lonely when Spock rarely visits and Michael is lost to time. Oh, there are various ambassadorial functions to attend and host, but it's not the same. So perhaps their home welcomes students from the science academy as boarders, or they take on another foster child, eventually, who they (as good as) adopt, or Sarek's young embassy assistant finds a home away from home.
Whereas that's the reason I'd love to go down that road again. Fans losing their shit over stupid reasons amuses me.
I can respect and appreciate this viewpoint.
Spock married McCoy, the only one still alive of the persons who ever mattered to him. That explains why in "Farpoint" McCoy spends his five minutes of dialogue complaining about Spock's habits to Data.
On the other hand, if Sarek married Perrin when she was young (say 20), she could have had a son old enough to marry by the time Picard met him (assume Perrin was in her 60's in the episode). That would make more sense than a really old Spock suddenly marrying after so many years.

We need more long lost kids of Sarek so I hope it's some new character.
Or it was Mirror Spock. Maybe Jean-Luc wandered into the wrong Spock's wedding.

Well, then the question becomes, how long did Amanda live for after her last appearance in 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home' which is set in 2286?
'The Making of Star Trek' says that Amanda was 58 and Sarek 101 when we first met them in 'Journey To Babel' and that she and Sarek had been married for 30 years prior to that.
Subtract 58 from 2268 and you get a birth year of 2210. She would have been 76 in 2286.
'Journey To Babel' is set in 2268 - subtract 30 years and Sarek and Amanda were married in approximately 2238 when Amanda was 28 years old and Sarek was 61.
If Amanda lived to the end of the 23rd Century, then Sarek must have remarried relatively quickly in order for Perin to have had a child old enough to get married in 2329, when the wedding is said to have taken place.

Imagine Sarek married Perrin in 2309 and she got pregnant shortly thereafter. Their new son would be 20 when Picard attended his wedding (a reasonable age to marry). Amanda may have died in 2300 at 90 years old. That still leaves a span of 9 years for Sarek to meet and marry Perrin. Doesn't seem too far-fetched for me.
Nope.
