In love, is age a problem? Do man has to earn more than woman?

i dont think it is a big deal after say middle school.

Three years is not too great a difference; after all, should age matters? My sister married a man three years younger than her. They started off, with her earning a higher salary. However now, after almost 10 years of marriage, and 3 kids, she's a stay-at-home mum; and he brings back the pay packet. The family is his motivation to work harder and earn better. Our parents weren't too keen in the beginning; however, through the years my brother-in-law has proved himself to be a good husband, father, provider and respectful son-in-law. My parents grew to accept and love him. And knowing that they love their grandchildren, he'd always bring them around to their house. So, it really doesn't matter where you start - it's how you continue the 'journey'.

Well you have to talk to him about this I guess. If that troubles you and your family then maybe he could do something to prove to your family he deserves you. I guess there's nothing wrong with the relationship when it comes to age. The real problems lies in the acceptance of your family. I think that is most important but it can be worked on if the boy would do something which I guess is doable. With your help he can be the man that your family wants to see. With your love and trust for him should inspire him to become what you want from him.

I am nearly 13 years older than my dear husband. I also earn substantially more than he does. We are about to celebrate 10 wonderful years together. So, in my own life, none of those things matter. To some people they may be more important.

Well, neither age nor money can come in between two real lovers. If yu love more than anything, you can certainly negotiate anything. Problems arise when you start expecting more than you should so to cope with that, in between you and him, keep some space to breathe. It will not just help you make better relationship but also you will be able to sustain in for a longer time. Prashant

Nope... as most people say... age doesn't matter... i know a couple.. both are my friend and they say.. age doesn't matter... the woman is around 50 already but the guy is only 17... so that really doesn't matter... if they boy nor the girl is older, as long as you love each other... no worries... well then if age matters, does age affects the love? ofcourse not! I'm more older than my girlfriend.. im older about 2 years but doesn't matter... doesn't affect our love on each other...

As long as both parties are at or over the legal age for your country. The legal age in the USA is 18, then age does not matter. As for who makes the most money... most men want to make more money than women because they feel like true men if they do, but now, some women are making more money than their husbands. I really do not care who is making the most money just as long as both parties are working.

I would take a younger man. lol But seriously, three years is not a lot. I know people who have made relationships work with much bigger age differences than that. And I make more money than my husband, though it didn't start out that way. It's much more important that the two of you love each other and take care of each other and communicate openly than your age or your income is.

i don't think age should have anything to do with a relationship, there are other things that are more important in the relationship, such as how each partner treats the other, how each partner feels about the other, i'd say the only time age should be an issue is in a case where it is a young person, like 14 and an older person, say 17 or above but that's just me. in this day and age it is not uncommon for a female to make more than a male, it shouldn't matter, if a female can make more than a male, great, who cares, it's money, no different than a female being smarter than a male, who cares. There is always a way to work things out if there are money issues, both partners just have to be willing to sit down together and work on it until something is figured out, there is always a solution to every problem, you just have to look for it.

who cares which gender earns more and who is older and younger? if you love that guy so much, then what else is there to care about?? as long as both of you love each other, than... it's great, isn't it?? I don't really care if the person i will get to love is older or younger than me, as long as i find a person i can trust and love, than that's all that matters!! and i really can't understand how some families MUST be PICKY about the person their family members love... it's not like the person you love is going to be an @$$hole to your family, right?? so... if you really trust him and if you really love him, then go for it :) otherwise... maybe u shud consider a little more :)

I want you to answer these do you both love each other do you both understand each other well. if yes then age is not a problem opposition from family members will not be a problem yes in life money is big problem if you view it as a problem. otherwise it is not. there is no necessity that man should earn more than woman. if he is hardworking, can be trusted then go ahead with the relationship.

u cant expect in love. It nice to see that ur making love with a young man than u. But in love there is no age even a olderman can love a young girl. Love has no bar. So if u consider that he is earning less that u i think ur confusing love with ur expectation. So dont confuse ur expectation is love. Love is beyond all and even though if he not earns its ur duty to accept him since u have given ur heart in the form of love.

I agree....age doesn't matter. Many people mature at a younger age then others so it all depends on if you think they are mature enough whether they are younger than you or not. As far as you making more than him.....who cares! Once I finish school I will be making more than my husband and he is excited about it!! I know many couples where the woman does earn more than the man. So I would say you are oK!! If he is what you like then it doesn't matter

No I don't think age is a problem in any relationship really. it's all about maturity. My guy and I are 15 years apart and yes we have our ups & downs, but it has nothing to do with age. It has to do with normal household problems. Money, disciplining the kids, and so on. I'm going to be 23 and he's 38 and I love him more and more as the days go on. As far as money goes.....this is 2008 not 1958. I wish people could see that! We no longer live in a world where the man has absolutely got to be the bread winner. In today's society somebody better be making some money to survive. Whether it's the man or the woman. Don't worry so much about the future. If you love this guy and he supports you and you him then tell your family to butt out. Remember when push comes to shove if you 2 survive the long haul it will be him who is beside you when you're 90 nobody else.

i really dont think so.. as an age old phrase says in love age doesn't matter and i believe that. i once had a relationship to a younger man like you i was three years older than him and it was a really great relationship. the only prob we had was the very complicated things that was there even when the relationship started. well its not a problem even if your earning much more than him.. to me it doesn't matter who earns a lot. if you both love each other money will never be a problem. with my marriage right now im the one whos earning much more than my husband did, but it was never an issue to me. i guess that's one of the great things about love. happy mylotting cheers!

Who said man has to earn more than woman in life. Basically it is the duty of the Husband to make two ends meet for the family. Wife's income is a secondary and supplement to family income. There is no reason to discard a relationship because the man is earning less and the woman is earning more. How you see it.

First thing,how long have you been with this guy? For me,I think age is really a big matter in a relationship especially when you want to build a future with him. Usually at first you will think this younger guy is a mature guy for you but until you have gone through hardships with him then maybe you will realize his real personality. But of course this is not definitely applied to your case but this was what I experienced before. Another thing is income problem. There is no problem if the guy temporarily is earning less than you but when will he start to earn more than you. I had seen some cases the husband is earning less than the wife. The worst thing I had seen was the wife even needed to pay the husband's debts. Maybe you should take all these into consideration. Of course no harm to get along and know each other first but don't get yourself too deeply in love. This is only my advice. Enjoy your day!

hi friend donot worried on your future.Age is not a matter between two live on an other.But one thing to you konw and conform the realiton bet you and him is attraction are love checked and conform.Observer on thing his love to your money and you? see them him all the qualities to study and observer some months conform his correct or not and them married donot thing about age and parents.donot take decisions fastly and stupidly other wise suffering from life time

For me is not a problem at all.If you really love each other,why not.Never mind other people.As long as you feel secure and happy with him do it,go for him.Now in the case of you earns more than him,i think if this is the reason that is why your family is against him that is a very big unfair.No one knows what will happen tomorrow,never judge anyone.Beside as you said that he is a hard working man and responsible i think sooner he can become a succesful man.Yes,in real life i mean in getting married it must be financially prepared/stable to sustain the daily needs.Man should be earn more than a woman?..For me not necessarily

trust love, you will happiness. i think age and salary are not problem. my sister's boyfriend is younger than her too, and they live very happy,if you two do love each other. i think you can find your own happiness too, don't think too much, love is color blind.
