I have been hearing the question a lot of times and I am seeing couples who have age gaps between them , does age really matters when you are in a relationship?
They say that as you age , you become matured enough to handle a lot of things because you have experienced a lot in life and in return you know how to react to a given situation.
And according to what I have read we maturenot by our age but with our mindset. I had this question too because I have seen break ups these past few days from celebrities and non celebrities and some involves couples with big age gaps.
What do you think? Will couples with age gaps stay in love or will break up?

If the older man is wealthy and the younger woman beautiful, I see no problem with this. If the older man is poor or the younger woman ugly, I don’t see it working.

That happens too , we cant deny that . Or it can be the other way too when the older girl is wealthy and the younger man is good looking it can prosper.. But I dont think we can call it a relationship hahaha it can be a condition or a fixed telationship/ marriage.

I agree on that too. Because there are times that I have observed that some adults are the childish ones in a relationship , I know some and Im not generalizing adults.There's some ..

Age doesn't really matter.
There are people who are old enough but no sign of maturity towards different things.
There are people who you think are very young but so mature that they are the ones who understands the old folks.
When you are in love, you don't see the age, you love the person because you love him/her.
True love is felt and not seen physically, others even say you love for no reason at all.
As long as your intentions are pure, and you deeply love the person, you don't need to worry about what others might say. The couple will be with one another for the rest of their lives and not with other people, not even with their relatives.![](/Content/images/emotes/cheering.gif)

The rest of only one of their lives usually.
Age only matters when one is very old and the other then becomes a carer, or becomes a widow at an early age. Hardly much fun then.

as long as both are legal age consenting adults. If one of them is a minor, The adult one should go to jail

Hubby is 17 years older than me. It depends on the people. Just like any relationship does

I believe so too! Or sometimes the environment and the family he/ she grew up with plays an important role too.

that's kind of myth. if you're older you might be wiser but that doesn't mean you're more experienced. some at 20 are also more experienced if they started working at 14, for example. i think the right minds should meet but that big age gap, not sure, 10-12 will be more realistic, not sure.

My husband is almost 10 years older than me. When I first met him, I thought he'd be too young for me as he looks so much younger
It's worked for us. There are some things whereby we differ that could be put down, at least partly, to age. But I think age is less important than personality, experience, compatibility, interests, etc. I'd previously dated much closer to my age, had two previous long-term relationships that didn't work out for entirely different reasons.
I have seen relationships with a 20 year age gap. Some work, some don't - just the same as any other age gap.
