Does age gap reduce intensity of love?

I think that years ago, the agism was something that people gossiped about. I still think that it happens that way today, but much less frequent. Today, people are not 'old' anymore, not by a long shot. Today, I've seen some in their 50 and 60 who look very very young. It's almost like 60 is the new middle age group, for those who take good care of their health. For me, I do not feel old at all. I can't explain it, but I do not feel older. I feel like a 20 year old. I make sure I eat well, and I'm a vegan, so that helps a lot. I do not think age is a factor now a days at all. That is a very good thing, indeed, because love has so many ups and downs, it's good to cancel out a few of them, and age is one that should be canceled out. It does not matter. I did not think it mattered when I was 16 and I do not think it matters now. If anything, lol, it can make you more of an 'item'. lol.

In both of the long-term relationships that I've been involved in during my life, there has been an age difference between myself and my significant other. In one situation, he was four years younger than me and in my marriage, my husband is five years older than me. I don't honestly think that there have been any problems in my relationships because of the age difference between myself and my significant other. However, I do think that if you spread further than just a few years in age difference and you are a young person, the differences in life experiences can cause significant problems in a relationship.

I don't think age gap is the problem because love is all that matters. In my opinion, the only problem arises is when couple fail to accept one another as they are. They expect them to change. They must realize that change will start from within. Nobody can force them to do so.

I think for some couples it does and others are just fine. It depends on the maturity of each person in the relationship. It's important that no matter the age difference that each person have love and respect for one another. That will go along way in a relationship with an age difference.

I don't think that age gap is the real problem here. because for me, age isn't really a big deal to me. Like what they say "Age is just in the state of mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter" Love is mysterious, and somehow unexplainable. atleast for me :D happy myLotting

yes i think so. since i've been there. you can't match up each others thinking. there are things you like to do yet the other one can't do it. and the other one can't patch it up if they would have that kind of problem. but maybe it won't affect the other but as for me it greatly affects our relationship. but i'm hoping that others can still patch it up.

I don't think so. What age gap does is it somehow affect the relationship not the love. If love is there, and it is really sincere, it holds the differences together. If one is far older than the other, (s)he may think more maturely than the other which may or may not cause a fight when the younger one acts a little strange or something. But, if they truly love each other, they will give more understanding and not resolve to fighting. True love does not cause harm to anyone.

As they say, "There's no perfect formula for love". I have seen people falling in love with people much much older than them or vice versa. Indeed love doesn't see age. But what love sees is the pressures surrounding them. Pretty sure, someone who has fallen in love with someone much older or much younger, would be in the center of talks and gossips. If the couple could just stop listening to such things, perhaps they could make it through. There are people whom I know with that kind of an affair "May-December Affair" who's still together to this very date. Though of course, there are also some which only lasted several months. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

I don't think so. I know a lot of married couples who have more than 10-year age gaps and their marriages are working well. Each partner is understanding what the other can't. And if each problem is solved, their relationship becomes stronger If there's a problem between partners, open communication is needed. Always involve God for He is the author of each of our lives and He knows a lot better than we do to make couple's relationship better.
