Love: Does the age difference matter?

When two people are in love... Is there a problem with age?
This is a question that surely still divides (but I don't know why 
) many opinions around the world. It's a subject so old, but that still generates a lot of controversy, especially if there is money "on the table". It doesn't matter if the woman is older with a younger man (ar an inverse ituation).
The controversy still exists. It's a subject that needs to be "demystified" and prejudice will one day have to end (although I think this will still take a lot to happen).
Particularly I do not see problem in a relationship with difference between the ages, as long as there is love in between. That's my final point about this.
I decided to ask you this because I just saw a commercial on television about it.

As long as the two people are of age and love each other, I don't see why not. I don't think I could love someone much older than me, I won't go past 30 for dating. Mostly because we won't have a lot in common and they won't really like the stuff I like, but if they do like the stuff I like, I don't see why not. Age really doesn't matter as long as you get along with each other, know medical things that can happen if you are with a person way older, of you are way older. The society makes these kinds of thins frowned upon and making it seem like a woman cannot be older than a man or a young women cannot love an old man without the idea of money. It is sad. But if people are happy, they don't need to listen to these unhappy people.

I was told that age is a matter of the mind and one does not mind then age does not matter when it comes to love.

My partner is a generation older than me but in many ways she is younger than I am. We have been together for 33 years.

Older than you by whose generation? A woman's generation is 25.5 years. A man's generation is roughly 31 years.
How are you doing, Nick? Long time no see!

@DaddyEvil I'm too much of a gentleman to say by exactly how much but close the woman's number you gave. But she's the younger one!
Good to hear from you!

i don't think it is the age that is the problem here..... with age gap....comes many other problems. Like if someone is 20 years older to me, their wants and needs out of life will be very different from my own.
More than age I think it is the place people are in their lives that make's a difference.
That is why people suggest to find someone closer to our own age...to avoid such problems.

Because we are not in their situation, so we don't have the right to judge them.

As long as everyone is of legal age, following consent laws in their state, and everyone is willing then I don't think age is a problem. It is also no one's business what another couple is doing or how old they are, again as long as everyone is legal and willing. The only reason it is a problem for most is because they are nosey, have no life, and just love to start drama. My boyfriend is older than me and no one has ever said anything to us but if they did I would just tell them to mind their business and stop being jealous.

It's a good question. I think it is entirely possible to have love for someone many times older or younger, but I do think it presents different challenges too.

I don't think it really matters as long as the younger person in the relationship realises that the older person might not be as physically fit as them. My parents had a bit of an age gap and when my father was quite old my mum felt young and wanted to do a lot of things my father was unable to do because of his age and fitness.

Marriage is what we make of it. Having said that a proper age difference does help one in the long run.

Age matters to some. Some are lucky to be married to someone younger than them or older than them. Some relationships can be successful others may not be

Age is just a number when it comes to love. It depends on the maturity level too. There are quite a few marriages in my family where the husbands are a lot older then the wives and they all have great relationships. My fiance and I are the same age.

With a very big gap in the ages - even though they may be in love , they should be prepared to face many challenges. Relationships between couples in the same age grouping face a lot of problems much less those with the added challenge of a big age difference.

Well that just depends.. If it is two adults 18 year of age or older that are in love then great age is not a problem, but if he/she is under the age of 17 and the person they or in love with is over the age of 20 then yes there is a problem and or crime in most parts of the United States.
