Answer:

32 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

The husband is 32 years old as the wife is 3 years younger than the husband. The son is 3 years older than the daughter. Their family altogether total age today is 68 years while 4 years ago their age total was 54 years. The difference is 14 years. If we divide the difference into 4 then the age can not be whole number which means daughter is born after 2 years. She is now 2 years older. Son is 3 years older than the daughter which means he is 5 years old. The husband then must be 32 years old and wife is 3 years younger which means she is 29 years old now.

32 + 29 + 5 + 2 = 68 years.
