taking into account the birth/death rates between 1945 to present day in america, plus the average age of marriage in those years (between the 40s and 80s for example, women were getting married at around 21 yrs of age and men at 23) i'd say that averages each generation into about 20 to 25 years rather than 30.
so that'd mean a 3 generation gap between steve and sharon, roughly. i'm rounding up the numbers here, obvs.
