Is age important in marriages? It seems that if the couple is young then age does matter because there is so much growing to do. If the couple is older, they are who they are and age doesn't matter so much. What do you think? What age difference is appropriate or does it matter?

I think that its the level of maturity of the couple rather than their actual age. If one of them is already 30 plus but still acts and thinks like a little kid or a high schooler, then it follows that he's not mentally and emotionally ready to be in a life altering decision such as marriage. But if the couple is only around early 20's or even at least at the legal age in their country but has is fully packed with life experiences that brought up their level of maturity then it would be nice to settle down early so they can still watch their great grandchildren grown up.
Of course there are a lot of factors involving being in a marriage but when it comes to age, the number doesnt matter, its the quality within that number does.
Hope that made sense.

I was married in my early 20's. I think everyone will get married when they are ready to. I agree with you that each individual is different in maturity. I think if there is a couple and one person is fifty and the other 20 that they probably shouldn't get married. If you are 80 and the person is 50 then it's wonderful. When you are young you are still maturing. Women mature quicker than guys so if you are marrying a guy 20 years older than you, you are probably going to be okay. If you are 20 years old when you marry that guy, I seriously doubt there will be a happy ending. Just an ending.
I don't think age is too big of a deal. It only matters what the two people feel for each other if they are mature enough to know.
