The fact that you and your husband arre both 27 is neither here there or anywhere . It makes no difference , the different areas are not age seggregated . As Tools4fools pointed out when asking these questions the important thing is to state clearly what you are looking for and need. There is no need to tell us your age.
Being close to SkyTrain is not that bigger deal as it has limited range . Sukumhvit is a long standing tourist area , not sure if it has any particular advantages . Some like it because its the location of some long running clubs and night life.
Some consider Khao San Rd area more central and there is a variety of accomodation , including budget guesthouses in lane and streets off the main steet . Khao San Rd these days is a general tourist street not really a backpacker's street or 'gap year' street as some posters portray it . Away from the street itself there are many quiet areas. Transport is not a problem there are boats down the river that lead to downtown , and bus routes that meet up with Sky Train stations.
The guidebook will also give you a run down on what the different areas of Bangkok are like.
