Does age matter in a loving relationship?

i think age does not matter.. why? coz if you really love your partner, then you couldnt care less of what others think.. criticisms are just there everywhere.. so go!! if you love her man then dont listen to what others think

hi there, i think age matters in a love relationship. when i was in school, i know from some movies that age does not matter in a relation as they love each other. but i know it is not right in daily life. i live in china, most men would like his girlfriend younger than him. girls do not like her boyfriend younger than her. for when she was old, her husband would like a younger one.

I don't believe in that perception. It depends on the maturity and feelings of each couple. I have seen a lot of successful relationship where boys are more matured than women and vice versa, so it really depends on the person...

Honestly, I think we place way too much emphasis on age in relationships. I have personally dated girls younger and older than me and I really don't think that age plays as big a role as maturity. I've known some girls younger than me that are far more mature than most adults I know. Something that I have noticed though is that when the girl/woman is older than the guy, it's supposedly viewed as less acceptable than the other way around. I don't see why though. The most important thing in a relationship is for the two people to be comfortable with themselves and each other and to care more about one another than they do about themselves. Relationships are no place for selfishness.

My mom is three years order than dad, and I am one year older than my husband, I don't think there is problem for our relationships because of age. in fact before my dating with my husband, mom told me that not dating with a man who is younger than you, for the little man don't know how to care for you. hehe.... I believe, big age difference will influence the marriage, but it is ok for our situation. in the marriage, only man and woman, no younger and elder.

Love is blind, Age is not a factor

This would depend on the situation. If the girl is older and not able to have children anymore, and you still want children it could be a problem. Girls are usually more mature than boys, so if she is like 40 and the boy is 20, there could be a problem in their communication with each other. Yet, I believe if both the boy and girl love each other, then the relationship will last even if the girl is older. In U.S. there are no set rules as to the girl having to be younger. I am assuming that there are some age rules in your country. What country are you from?

I had an experience with the young boy relationship. For me, it's fine and wonderful at the first time. but for long time, i felt he too child and sometimes makes me sad with his mind. what he wants and what he think very different to me.

The key towards good relationships is being open to your partner. Don’t be afraid to tell him your real age. Remember, when you get into a relationship, you accept a person for who she is as a whole. Erase that feeling that he may look at you in a different way. If age, a petty issue, is something that changes everything for him then he does not deserve you. It is better than keeping a small lie. But I doubt if it will make any difference.

hi,rorisricha! basically I agree the rule of tradition.it makes sense.in ancient times,a family needs a strong and experienced husband to get enough food and a young pretty wife to bear many children.now we are in morden times,but the principle almost remains the same. contrary to our ancestors,we have more choices now.there are couples of younger husband and older wife.they can live a happy life too.I think it is a progress,because people can extend their love out of traditional rule.

Hello Rorisricha,Yeah Age Doesn't matter in Love Relationship because the relation is as pure which is made between two loving Hearts,On which God always blessed on but the people of the society making these stupid types of rules that Girl should be lesser age of Boy and the Girl should be there caste,etc. which you will see normally in a country like India. It is actually Hurting but its the truth many true Lovers lost or you can say sacrifice their Lives because of the False Status of Societies.I really Hate these thing.I Think the rules are made for betterment of Human Life not to become slaves of such Rules.Surely In near future man will truely understand those real values of life.

I don't think the rule applies, unless you're still living in the 14th century. I think the rule was initially devised in accordance with the apparent hegemony of patriarchy / paternalism / men being a$$ hats... It's still around (see: Catholicism), but in a much less virulent form! My other half is ten years my senior, but she's fabulous and our relationship is blossoming after two years together. Age is just a number.

For me age has never been a big deal in any relationship... As long as you have not hurt anybody, the relationship is good even with that age rate. Maybe people in our history are not used to see a woman marry a man younger than her... that is why we carry the tradition that a woman should be younger than her man. But i don't believe that age should be a big deal in any relationship nor an issue in it. People should be open-minded that in every relationship, the love and devotion in it are things that really matters not the age.

For me, age doesn't matter as long as you love each other, as long as you understand each other and respect each other.

This rules are made by Man dominated society. I think no one should bother about age in marriage or in loving relationship. Next to next sunday my cousin have marriage and her future wife is 2 year older than him. So age should not matter in any type of relationship.

i am a year older than my husband and my mom is 2 years older than my dad. i also know people who have loving relationships and they are YEARS older than their partners. age really doesn't matter. what matters is the maturity of each individual that is in that relationship.

I guess age doesn't matter in a relationship as long as the couple is happy together. I like to say if you don't fight with each other and can get along really well. Then why not can they have a relationship.

age dosnt matter there are some guys who are older than girl but they mentally emature.environment could also affect the maturity of any human being can either be a girl or a boy.a person living in a civilized communitry is more matured than the person live in urban community.

To me age is not an issue, but maturity is. Both should be mature and be able to respect the other in a relationship.

Age doesnt matter always ^^...as long as you love your opposite and respect each other...
