It can work, but I think its important to think about the future that you want. He is 37, he wants to get married and have kids. Youre still very young though, do you want kids and marriage now or would you prefer to wait until you're older? Also, its good to keep in mind that he's much older than you, he might (probably) die before you, or he might get to the age where you have to take care of him. Like, when youre 35, hes gonna be in his 50s where a lot of age related health issues start. And worse, when youre 45, hes gonna be in his 60s… So yeah, its all fun now since youre both young but youre gonna feel that age difference when you're still young and he's an elderly man.
Unfortunately, you don't know what means ” be careful” in your age. No offence, it's just a lack of experience.
The fact you were in a previous abusive relationship makes you even more vulnerable.

He is an ex for a reason op. Don’t romanticize who he is.
