Does Age and Height Matter in a Relationship?

I don't think height and age matter in a relationship. My husband is 13 years older than I am. I met him when I was 18 and he was 31. When we got married I was 21 and he was about to turn 34. We've been together for 33 years. I wouldn't want to be with someone 25 or 30 years older than me, but if two people care about each other then it shouldn't matter. Unless you're under 18 then it would matter by law.

It really depends on the people. If someone doesn't care about age or height, then good for them. I would def. never think badly of a couple who's ages or heights or different. If they're in love, great! But for me, honestly I think I'd want a guy that is AT LEAST my height. I'm tall (5'9'') and I just think if would be a little weird if my guy was shorter than me. It's just a personal preference. And I have kind of set an age limit for myself, haha! I def. don't want a guy that is younger than me, but I have decided that no one over 10 years older than me either (with some wiggle room).

no never.

In normal situations I do not find anything wrong with a huge age gap... When my hubby and I first started dating he was twice my age exactly.. I was 26 and he was 52.. Yes some people thought a lot of different things.. I have heard all if not most comments that you could come up with to descripe the gap.. But I wouldnt change the time I had with him.. There are some benefits and disadvanges with that kind of age gap.. It all depends on the specific couple.. There are different challenges then like in a relationship were the couple is within a couple years of each other.. Just makes it more interesting... Would I do it again.. It very possible.. He was alot a lot taller then I was.. 5'3 1/2 and he was 6 foot.. So some people looked at us weird.. They though he was my dad.. Some of the reactions of people so funny I can still laugh at them now..

If it doesn't matter to either half of the couple it probably doesn't matter. I did have a girlfriend who decided we looked strange together and the relationship eventually ended. She had a need to feel normal and dating a guy nearly a foot and a half taller than her didn't fit that.

i agree that height and age sure doesn't matter if two people care for each other... but when sometimes you just get the feeling that apart of it is not right...

I dont think that age matters as much as the maturity of the each person. Height for me does matter. I always am attracted to someone taller than me, and my husb is attracted to me who is short than him. We are a perfect match with height. I fit perfectly in his arms.

Leave me alone no the height and age this do you love each other. Sometimes order with friends because you noon so much from them. I think every time you peace and blessings find you to be. happy and don't care about are there people think.

I think they both matter, but to what degree is definitely a personal thing. For me age is important because I want to be with someone who's in the same place in life as me, who wants the same things and at more or less the same time. That doesn't mean being exactly the same age but chances are someone considerably older or younger wouldn't be in the same place at the same time. Height is important because it's an issue of attraction. You need to be attracted to the person you're with, and I personally don't find short men attractive. BUT, of course, there could always be exceptions to things like that. If I weren't married and was still in the market then I would like to think I'd be open minded enough to not rule anyone out altogether based just on things like age and height :)

physical parameters are the temporary problems and temporary tensions. the main thing is personality. we have to get a person who is having good personality and open minded.

This is a personal issue. I agree love matters but to some high does also.

It matters to an extent, but are not the most prominent factors of a relationship. Height certainly doesn't matter as long as both parties in the relationship are are okay with any height differences or similarities. Age doesn't matter until it gets to the point when 20 year old girls are dating sixty year old men. It's very hard to believe that that would be genuine love, although in some extremely rare cases it is. An eighteen year old dating a twenty nine year is acceptable in my opinion, as it's within the holds of the law and the age gap is not massive. However, a sixteen year old dating a twenty five year old is not acceptable as the teen is not yet an adult. Hope I helped! :)

You are right, age and height are not an issue in a relationship. As long as you truly love each other, respect and trust I believe the relationship will really last a lifetime.

I do not believe that the above criteria is a problem when it comes to a relationship. Only what the heart feels and how your partner treats you. :)

I think if two people really love one another, then age, race, height, eye or hair colour, social class or anything else you can think of, wouldn't be a barrier at all....nor should it be.

i dont see a big deal about either height or age. For some people it might be hard for them to understand but for other it might be easy. It's not hard some people with there age differences to be on the same page and stuff. There is a good height difference between me and my husband. It can make some things difficult but it also helps me out when I can reach something off of the top shelve.

If there is real love between two people and they both are willing to compromise, and they both feel comfortable with the relationship, then differences won't matter.

Hi, Honestly speaking, for me age does matter. I never liked dating someone younger than me and have more interest on guys who are a just a little older. But I don't really close the possibilities that I might end up with someone younger or a lot older than I am. Maybe if the guy is destined to be my partner, I guess height or age wouldn't really matter.
