Does age really matter in a relationship? For me, age doesn’t matter as long as you love each other. Age is just a number so nothings wrong with that. Other people see that there is problem with that. What about you guys? What do you think?

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.

5yrs age gap is ok too. Nothings wrong with that. With the big age gaps, I guess it depends on the person what he/she likes.

I think that age doesn't matter as long as the two belong to the same generation. If not, there might be problems.

I agree. But there are in a relationship who are not the same generation, still it doesn’t matter. There might be problems but not all.

It is a problem, because when a woman is very young she still like to go out, travel have fun and a very old husband becomes a serious problem.

@melody22 I have known two women who married a man 25 years older than their age and the marriage did not last.

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 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

I agree with you. And It doesn’t look good if a 20 years old girl marry a 60 years old man .

As long as you love each other than age should not matter unless you are real young under 18 and someone in their 30 or 40 say they love you. You should wait until you are 18.

I have no personal insights but I think that a great difference in age can become problematic if the partners belong to different generations and don't share the same experiences.

You are right. If couples belong to a different generation then there might be problem for them but not all I think. If they really love each other, they will find a way to solve it or fight for their love. :)

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 .

It doesn’t matter for me. I have friends who has 20 years age gaps or more than that . I’ve no problem with that. I still support them. I’m actually a good friend. :)

Yes, that's right. Ange doesn't matter. But imagine that if you two have a big age gap, what will happen if one of you is already weak. The other one will surely be in pain because of things that possibly will happen.

The age is important in my opinion. There will be the generation gap and even the physical situation can't match for each one. It can lead to many issues. So I think five years is the maximum already.

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.
