Do you think relationship between couples with very big age gap would work?

It really depends on the personality of both couples. I think regardless of age gap, as long as they have open minds in viewing things in life, then their relationship will surely go well.

I have a male office mate whose wife is 10 years older than him and it seems that they are happily married until now. One time, I asked him how do they handle their relationship in such away that it will work out despite their age gap? He said, age doesn't really matter in relationships. What is important, they love each other. But he emphasized that love must be coupled with respect and trust for without it, such a relationship will fail. Although her wife is much older than him, she never made him feel inferior. In fact, his wife respects him for being the man of the house despite his young age. I always love this couple because they never fail to show the people around them how happy they are with each other.

there are a lot of couple with very big gap age in this world. the succeed of relationship is really depend on both couple. if they love each other, have a good understanding and communication, I believe that everything would work well.

I do believe the age doesn't matter in loving someone. A friend of mine got married to a hubby for having 15 years gap, but they still live together. They are relationship is growing stronger with their kids.

I think age should not become the single factor for whether a relationship works or not. Age is just a number. While some people with closer ages might seem easier than couples with larger age gaps, it does not mean it's impossible. If you are happy with the person who might be some years younger or older than you, why should you listen to any negative remarks that others may say about your relationship? In my personal opinion, you love someone because of who they are on the inside. I know this might sound corny, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has their eyes on their special someone because of reasons others may not be able to see. Because if you truly love the person for who they are despite their age, I think that matters more than what your peers or the rest of society thinks.

My boyfriend is 17 years older that I am. I would think that it depends on the maturity of the people entering into the relationship. We are both very mature adults. However, I don't think it would have worked for us if we met 20 years ago.

I don't think that age matters in love. I am female and thinking about age I would date a man up to twelve years older than me or up to five years younger than me. I know a lady that was in her late twenties and she dated a sixty year old man. They are still together now and are a very happy couple. One of my mom's friends dated a man ten years younger than her. If a man is in his thirties dating a twenty year old could be challenging. They might have totally different interests and habits in life. Maybe she would be better off with a man closer to her own age group. A fifty year old man can marry a lady much younger than him and still be able to fit in having children.

Hello mate let me share to you a story of my elder Sister. My sister was 29-year old when she got married with her husband who was sweet 18 that time! We were afraid that her relationship would be the same with her first relationship which she had 2 children taken care by my mother. But it turned out to smooth going. They have been living together for almost 10 years if I am not mistaken, and it's going fine. I know that they have encountered family trouble too, but it's natural. I guess that's the real challenge of building your family. So I would stand strong with my belief and opinion that "age does not matter at all" it's the feeling. "Love" matters always! If each of them value and love each other, the relationship would last. There are also factors that would help to keep relationship strong, they are: 1. Love 2. Trust If you love someone, it's not enough. You need to trust that person with all your heart, in turn be faithful. Broken relationship often the result of jealousy, doubt, or some sort the strongly signifies the "opposite" of trust. Thanks for this topic. See you for more!

Study shows it usually doesn't last long. However, age in the very end is nothing but a number that is given to us at birth to identify how long we have been alive. I'm sure if the gap is big enough then you might have problems or troubles. Base on a psychical aspect and sometimes mental state of a person. Everyone has an expiration date and everyone ages different. If the gap between age is like 10+ plus years nothing wrong with that but I know as time goes on difference will come along and the only one who can keep a relationship together with no problem. Regardless of age and looks is GOD.

We shoul dnot make age such a huge factor when considering a relatiosnhipo, the feelings anda ttittudes and what is in your heart for that person should solidify the relationship instead.

Here in india the wife is younger than her husband by say-4 to 5 years, no man will marry a woman older than him, woman will also not marry a man MUCH older than her..

Yes I think relationships between couples with a big age gap will work because I am proof of that. me and my husband are 12 years apart in age and have been married for 21 years. So it can work. We have had our ups and downs but other than that we are very happy.

Yes it would. I have seem many that worked and I've heard of many more. I think the problem is always family members of, especially the younger of the couples, who always think that their brother or sister as the case may be is being cheated (not in the sense of infidelity).

As long as both parties would adjust for their partners then there won't be too much problems to face. Love is not enough. Understanding, patience and other virtues needed in a relationship must also be considered. Love has no age and it is a decision of both parties if they would like to continue and make it work or call it quits. It's just a matter of selflessness and sacrifice.

At least it will not work for me. In fact I was not interested in any men who were older than me 10 years old. I was afraid to date with a man who had a generation gap with me. It was more like a relationship between father and daughter in my opinion. Try to imagine what your father thinks about his daughter marries to a man who has the similar age like him? Besides the physical difference, there are still a lot of problems between old husband and young wife. Can he protect her? Especially he is older than her a lot and the wife seems to be a person who has to take good care of him all the time. I love China

hi BetterDays4me to me a huge age gap will not work as I watched and heard heard my parents fight every damned day and the age gap was 6o to her 21 and he treated her like a rather stupid daughter instead of a respected wife,. He never struck her oh no he was too smart for that instead he insulted her verbally and she took it.,I made sure when I got married the man would not be way older than me. He was 37 and I was 32 so we got along so well.we really loved each other, respected each other, and trusted each other.

yes and no. in the case of my sister and his partner are very dominant and have a commanding attitude. he always brag that he know better because of his age and sometimes very controlling. i always advise my sister to find a man with less age gap or nearly closer to her age. because, in comparison to age it does matter. the young make a lot of reason, more rebellious and adventurous, while his partner is mature but at the same time has a domineering attitude that everything she do is getting censored. his older partner caught his attention through manipulating her and she seem very obedient. is that because of love? or she just get hypnotize and sometimes she get hook listening to him because he seem to have a brilliant mind. i do hope my sister is not disillusion and never get pregnant as the older guy is very determine to manipulate her every move and f she get pregnant the case she could not even make her own decision. i pity her as she going to lose her freedom of right reasoning. i think what would happen to them as unfortunate marriage as deeply felt she pick a wrong guy. also age does n;t matter in some case when the younger is more mature than the older partner. they get to compliment each other.

i think older man are more wiser and mature in dealing with relationships.they have full understanding about what it takes to have a long lasting relationship as well as what to do's and what is not.younger females are getting involve with older men coz they can give commitment younger males cant give not mentioning the affection,security and love they can offer.as the saying goes: all is fair in love and war.age doesnt matter as long as they can feel the love for each other and the willingness to be with each other.
