Age difference

No I do not believe it makes a difference My Love is 13 years older then me and he is the best I could ever ask for He treats me wonderful and I know the real meaning of someone caring for me looking out for me loving me and being there for me

I think it is probably less likely to work out when the woman is much older. My sister 55 yo just married a 45 yo man. Hopefully, they will be very happy but I have already noticed that he is doing a lot of commenting on younger attractive gals on the t.v. She doesn't like that at all. Only time will tell how this true life story works out. They seem very happy overall.

i think gap is not important as long as the couple understand each other.love will guide them to reach happyness

not really,but it also depends,if the age gap is more the thinking may differ to one another and this gap can be enough to make a big difference in their personal life.more than enything understanding is more important than any other thing.let us keep it sweet.

My parents are 11 years apart, with my dad being the older of the two. They met while my dad was in prison. Interestly, my mom was in prison ministry and my dad became a born again Christian while in prison! My mom's parents weren't real happy about her deciding to marry an ex-con! Well, they've been happily married for over 30 years and I think they fall more and more in love every year! I would also point out that my mom was in her early 20's when they started dating and my dad was in his early 30's... which I think makes a huge difference, in that they weren't 14 and 25! I think the older you get the less it matters.

I think that a big difference is not detrimental to a happy marriage if we love the person who we want to marry. Because we are all the same humans but there is a gap between the 2 ways of life. It seems difficult but If we love.... Sorry for my english, I'm french...

Age does not make a difference...maturity does. My first husband was 3 years older than I was and very immature. We were only married 7 years when we divorced. I figured raising 2 kids was enough and didn't intend to raise 3 (including him). My second husband and I have been married 28 years, and he is 7 years younger than I am. He is very considerate and a great guy. My 3 sisters all married men from 11-18 years older than they were. One is now on her 5th husband (each one quite a few years older than she was at the time), another is widowed, and the third one has been very happily married for 22 years.

It depends. If the man is older than woman, it won't make difference. but if the women is older than man then yeah it does. the reason is woman get matured much quicker than man. But on the other hand if you love somebody, nothing really matters. But if you really love that person, this question shouldn't pop into your mind.

I am very happy with my boyfriend. He's 15 yrs older than me. It works well for us.

My mother is 5 years older than my father, and they are still quite happy together. My mother is 83 already, father will be 78 this month.

I think it is better when the man is older than the woman not the other way round. That way the woman can respecvt the man because she believes he is wiser and can take appropriate decision that can affect their lives and their marriage positively.

age does not matter! it never does! as long as you fell comfortable with each other, nothing else matters!

My husband and I are five years apart (he is older than I am) but it has never been an issue for us, but before I met him, I dated a man that was 2 years younger than me, and it made a HUGE difference, it's one of the reasons why I broke it off with him. I really think it's based on the individual. I also had some friends that married 20 years apart, (the woman was older) and they divorced shortly after. He always felt like she was being his mother and she always felt the need to raise him. I think it can work, though it may make things more difficult.

i dont think there is anything wrong in age difference to a certain extense i think if the girl is 20 and the husband is 50 odd then i think that is abit gross but if the girl is 20 and has a 30m odd year odd husband is not to bad but i wouldnt do it myself i am nearly 20 next month and i think the furthest i would go would be 30

I think that two people can be very happy even if they have a significant age difference. As long as they have mutual respect, common goals, and attraction it can work.

It depends on the people involved in the marriage / relationship. If you have common interests and are active and involved in what your partner is doing then age may not matter. A lot of people complain about not having anything in common or growing apart. As long as you can communicate in a healthy manner or are active in each others lives you stand a chance.

No, age makes no difference to real love. The main ingredients of a good relationship/marriage are trust, loyalty and sharing. If you've got that, age matters not.

I personally don't think age matters, but 20 years or more might be a little too much. If I was 20 I don't think I would want a man that is 40. But if you are happy with the older person, then age doesn't matter.

My husband is 7 years older than I am. I don't think it has been detrimental to our marriage. What is bad is when you marry outside your faith.

My husband is only 7 years older than me, which is not a great deal really, but my best friend (she is 23) is in a long term relationship with a man of 59. I was a little shocked at first when she told me, but I have met her other half a couple of times now, and he genuinely seems like a very charming caring man. My friend suffered from depression for a while, and although she had a few relationships with guys the same age as her at this time, none of them understood her and they didn't work out. This man that she is with now, he understands what she is going through, and is mature and sensitive enough to support her if she goes through any rough patches. I have never seen my friend as happy in any other relationship as she is in this one. I think age is all in the mind to be honest. People can feel young, even if they aren't as young as they used to be. Two people can be of very different ages, but they can be the same mentally, and can stimulate each others interests, just the same as two people of the same age might be able to. There are downside of course, and that is that the older partner will die first. Plus the issue of having children is a problem. My friend would love to have children one day, but her partner already has several grown-up children who are in their 30s, and he has grandchildren also, and is not prepared to become a father again at this time in his life. It means that one of the partners has to make a sacrifice. Having said that though, there are sacrifices to be made in all relationships, and if both partners are happy with the decisions they make together, there is no problem.
