I know many, especially here, have big age gaps in their relationships and things are great and stuff. But for me, the max age difference can only be 5 years.

Actually, the mental maturity of the two people in relationship and the stage of life they're in, their mentality matter a great deal than age. Two people can almost be of same age and are totally opposite in nature...which most of the time becomes recipe for disaster. The "Opposites attract" law happens very few times. People can have 10 years of gap between them, but might have been through the same things in life so that they could connect like no other. Age is just a number, as you said.

I don't think so. As long as the younger one is responsible and the older one is young at hearg and open minded and theh both love each other.

I heard that too from some but i think it is not wise anymore to marry someone 20 when you are 60, and then when that 20 will look for someone her age, because you are old already, who will you blame? Though it doesnt happen to all but there are many cases where infidelity happens after years of marriage because someone marries her grandpa or dad

age does not matter but You cannot marry someone who is 50 years older to you.. Moreover there has to be compatibility and a rapport..

@melody22 Generally we prefer someone who is 1-2 years of age so that compatibility is higher

Why would that be matter? Probably because we have this mindset that people should be in a relationship with the same age or men should be older than women. But we cannot control love. Yes, we cringe if we saw an older man with a much younger woman, or matured women with younger boys. We don't see it as a perfect picture of lovers.... But hey, Angelina Jolie and Brat Pitt are perfect for each other but they broke up. Love is not a physical thing, its respect and trust that one gave to the partner. So yes, age shouldn't matter.

@melody22 Those people talking behind a person's back are just jealous. They're not worthy of any attention. As long as the couple are happy, then nothing else's matter.

Absolutely right. Age shouldn’t matter. If fact, if you gonna ask me what I prefer. I would choose older than me as long as he respect, trust, care and love me.
Other people when they saw a couple (a girl younger than her partner) they started talking behind your back. But of course don’t mind them .

Once you are mature enough to enter a relationship, age or age difference does not matter. It is love, trust and respect that makes a relationship work. And you should have an intention to make it work.
