For me as long as I love her, and she love me. As long how strong is our love not the age. Love doesn't have boundaries. It's how you make relationship last. Age is just numbers. And it depends on you how you carry the relationship. So for me how you make it. I don't care about really the age, what is important is how can we make the relationship work out. So I don't care if it's younger or older then me, it's I just believe that I follow where my heart is and beat. Have a nice day to all of you!

I am married and my husband is two years younger than me. Before I got married though age wasn't an issue for me. I didn't go for someone based on their age. I would date someone based on their qualities and whether they were a good person for me. And following your heart in something like this is a good thing, at least I think so.

Hi cortney09, same here what counts is based on qualities and perception in life, and we have something in common. I think also is your both comfortable with each other that you can talk anything under the sun. It's not really the age, but you have the same level of thinking. Anyway have a nice day to you!

Hi! i am more comfortable to go with the person who is older than me whether it is only for friendship or to have a serious relation. But it doesn't mean that i cant be with anyone who is younger than me, for as long as he knows his responsibilities and one more important is he know how to respect elders and opinion of other people.

Hi gracypure, well I like what you've said as long as there is respect to each other and accepting each other for who you are and what you are. It's not the age, but you have something in common, and you can share everything with each other, even secrets. Anyway have a nice day to you!

I go for someone older. Or I should say that I have. My husband is 8+ years my senior. For some reason I've always been attracted to older guys, so long as they aren't too much older. I'm not looking for a father figure, after all! LOL Though, you're right, age shouldn't matter. All that matters is the love a couple has for each other.

Hi sacmom, maybe as long as the feeling is real for each other. Age is just numbers, what is important you can get along and any problems that arises you both can fix it out. Anyway have a nice day to you!

Hello n30wing, I agree with you though I think that the best age gap is supposed to be around 5 years and not more than 10 years. Anyway, age difference is not a big deal for me; as long as both of us have the same feelings toward each other. In fact, my husband is a few years younger than me.

Hi gr8life, well we make our choices in life, I just believe so following my heart. It's not the age that is a big issue, it's how you both loving each other for who you are and what you are. Life is not a bed of roses, still you compromise, and fixing it together. Making things simple and not complicated. Have a nice day to you!

I'm 3 and 1/2 years older than my husband we got married when he was 18 and I was 21. It didn't bother me and it still doesn't bother me. He was more mature than most of the guys that were and are my age. We get a long really well. To me age is just a number and love doesn't see numbers.

i don't know, seriously. for me it doesn't matter how old or young your partner is, as far as i am concerned maturity comes a lot, it's the most important thing for me to consider. i can't stand a person that is too immature to their age. a 25 year old woman should act according to age on every aspect in life, but it's still alright to be childish sometimes as long as it's not irritating. i have i have dated woman older and younger than me and like i said maturity is very vital.

Hi rymebristol, well what is important to me is the same maturity, and perception in life.We have something in common, and can always meet halfway, and can compromise in everything. It's learning more, and sharing life together. It's not really the age, but following your heart. Anyway have a nice day to you!

hiya, this doesn't bothers me at all. i was looking for 2 years older than me but when i found my husband, we have this 15 years gap and there is no problem with it. maybe for me, so long as the guy is older than the woman than it is okay. matured people are good lover and good provider.

Basically I think age is just a number also and I don't think it matters if the man or woman is older in the relationship or if they are the same age, it shouldn't really matter as long as there is not a tremendous difference in their age. I think as long as they are somewhere in the same ballpark where they can have some of the same things in common and know what each other is talking about then things should work out fine. Now when you get some 16 year old marrying a 60 year old then I think there is definitely something wrong because they can not have much in common unless the 60 year old is a bit slow mentally!!

Hi greeneyedlady, well my fiancee is older then me by 13 years, but we get along fine. She doesn't look like her age. It's younger then her age. We have a lot in common like were both workaholic, think of our priorities, and respect each other individuality. I learned a lot from her and she learn new things from me. It's not really a bother about our age gap, it's just the people who sees us very sweet and loving. Anyway have a nice day to you!

It is nice to know that you have found someone that you have so much in common with and that you both respect each other, that is so important. I do not think that a 13 year age difference is all that much personally, at least you are pretty much of the same generation so you should have a lot in common and be able to speak as equals rather than mother and son or even grandmother and son because of the age difference, unfortunately some people make that mistake and rarely does it work out! Good luck and congratulations on your impending marriage!

hi there, yes indeed love has no boundaries and it knows not any boundaries. well as for me age is just a number, age should not and never stop anyone from falling in love at all. well you are absolutely right it is all about working the relationship right. apart from age i also strongly believe that nothing else should be a hinderance at all, this includes race, culture, language. well these a are just a few examples. but in my opinion whether or not age or other boundaries should never come in between love at all. we should all look beyond these things love someone for who they are and not what they are. Have a great day ahead. best regards, alvingb

Hi alvingb, when I was reading it, I really felt what you've said. Age is just numbers, it's how you want it to last. It's how you make life together. It's how you work things out. We all have our choices, what we want,but it's how love makes meaning and treasure each day. Learning and the getting to know you never stop. It makes your heart wonder. Love has different intensity it just maybe for others it wasn't meant to be. Anyway have a nice day to you!

Not for everyone , but for me.. Someone the same age or younger . I was married to someone 11 years older then myself for 20 years , and I wouldn't do that again. There was such a big difference in us because of age. He was satisfied to sit in front of the tv and let life pass him by , not I . After the divorce I dated someone 11 years younger then me ,, I got to say ladies it was great! Then I fell in love with someone my own age and we fit perfectly . Wevé been together for 12 years and we keep it fun, and exciting .

I am partly agree with you. The young man are not easier to get long with, but live together with them, you would try to change your mind to fit what they say and what they do, by this you can keep your mind and heart not so stable. Having experience and keep one's own mind is a good thing, but sometime we need fresh thing to take part in our lives.

Hi jothis, it's not really the age is the problem, it's how both of you love each other and want it to last. I like what you said that definitely when you love someone and if he/she loves you that person reciprocate. But in love you can't ask for a return. It's both of you how you accept each other for what you are. Anyway have anice day to you!

As long as both people are of legal age and generally around the same level in finances, spirituality, education, social standing, etc., things usually work out. Not that it's a requirement for you to be at the same level in the aforementioned areas, it's just usually easier that way. But I'm 22 and the man I'm seeing is 42 - we've been working out fine for a while now.

Hi ChampagneGiggles, Well as long as everything is working out, the age is not the problem but same grounds or standards are the same and I think the same level. I think what counts is you both liking each other and accepting each other for what you are. As long you know both that you deserve each other. Anyway have a nice day to you!

I have always gone for teh older type. In fact I somehow ended up dating a twenty four year old freshman year of college somehow. I like them older because they are more likely to be more mature and logical about dating and relationships. I have found though that is not often teh case. Age has little to do with it and now I am dating someone who is my own age-the youngest age I have ever dated-and I am the first girl he has ever dated that was not at leat a year younger than him. We have discivered, for us age is a good thing to have in common. I appreciate his immaturity in ways my friends can't, and he has actually found out it's not so bad dating a "old woman" even though we are only two months apart.

Hi csrobins, I just believe that we all have our choices. We make our life, and most of all is following your heart. It doesn't count if his younger or older then you. Is someone you can be you, respecting you, trusting you and can make you be yourself. What is important you can talk things out and could fix things together to make it last. Anyway have a nice day to you!

yep,your absolutely right,age doesnt matter nowadays :) as long as love is within the both of you.that's what more important than age.some would say that if you have big age gap,there would be a tendency that couples argue often and misunderstanding arises,but if we really love the person regardless of the age gap,arguments and misunderstanding has no room :)we just simply understand and accept each other's shortcomings. :) good day!

Hi queenne, your definitely right and agreed on your opinion, it's how things you work things out. No relationship is perfect, it's how both of you face it together. No matter how big or small the issues or problems still you easily can solve it cause you want he relationship to last. Anyway have a nice day to you!

I'm married with my hubby that 3 years younger than me. I really never thought to have a younger husband, but what can I ask more if he is the "one"? Love is no. 1 for me, and most of all is his responsibility for everything. That's made him different with the others and that's all I need from a husband.
