What is the ideal age difference between couples for a perfect marriage

Age does matter an older woman when she could not bear a child which could be a source of conflict. Also those people around have nothing to do but spread rumor or tease the one who is older making her appear miserable. So before marrying love is not enough and those things need to be talk before settling down. But if the love is so strong whether with a baby or none the relationship should go smoothly uncaring of what others people have to think. An age gap just like yours still good but age beyond ten years is such a big gap differences but would not matter as long as both are compatible with each other.

I think, as long as the man is older than you by four years (in terms of maturity) , the relationship will run smoothly. A man who is more immature that you are is very difficult to handle, so it is highly suggestive that men should be really older than women, so that you are both on the same wavelength.:)

My girlfriend is 12 years younger than me... We have some little misunderstandings every now and then but nothing serious. Most women would prefer having a serious relationship with men who are older than them. Since generally, men tend to mature very late than most women. But still there are some men who matured earlier and got married to someone who are older than them. Age really does not matter... as long as both are matured enough they can get married happily.

My hubby is 4 years elder to me and I believe it is the perfect age gap.I have experienced that in few things he is more mature than me and that smoothens our decision making and balance.In few things Iam caring and in few things he is understanding so I beleive there should be a reasonable gap so that right balance is maintained.I think people of same age should not marry because some where or the other they develop ego clashes and both have same maturity levels which harms in lifes strides.When a guy is elder to girl the adjustment becomes easy Thats what I feel.

I guess 5 years older for your husband is ideal age.

I think age isn't an important factor for marriage. It doesn't matter how old you both are, but your compatibility. You could be the same age but fight all the time, or be twenty years apart from each other in age and live harmoniously. It depends on the individual person and their personality rather than age.

When it comes to marriage, three things come into my mind. Love, ideas and age. For a marriage to be successful, the love must be there and be strong. Difference of ideas may also be of concern in a marriage. If two partners are strongly in love and are married, but they always have conflicts in ideas, no matter how loving they are, they will argue everytime if their ideas conflict and especially one partner insists on his/her idea. Lastly, age, which is the most important aspect in marriage. Marrying someone too young or too old is rare. If for a man, he is younger than his partner by 10 to 20 years, what will his mother feel? Let's imagine his mother's thoughts: What? I have to take in someone the same age as me, as my daughter-in-law??? This is the problem. Love is something that is very hard to explain and it's not math or science. For me, the ideal age difference between couples should be same age, or maybe a difference of 2 to 3 years. Well, this is my opinion.

Well I have dated younger guys and am now married to my husband that is 5 yrs older than me. In my experiance I would say the older guy truimphs. They are more mature and seem to be more understanding too.

There should be no age for love. But most girls will tend to go for older men purely because they are more mature than boys that are the girls age.

My parents are 7 years apart. My grandparents on my mom's side are 10 apart. I think the older you get, the less age matters. For example, we might balk at a 18 and 40 year old but 60 and 82? Not so much. But I suppose if you grow up around the same time your views would be more similar than if there were a generation gap.

There's no such ideal age to prefer in having a perfect marriage. All what we need here is love each other to have a perfect marriage in addition is understanding.
