Does age really matter when it comes to love?

I don't think love has an age limit. My parents were 10 years apart and it ended in divorce because as they got older they had different wants in life. My mom enjoyed travelling and my dad didn't. Obviousley thats only one example but I'll spare you the rest of them. LOL. On the other hand there 9 years difference between my husbands parents. My mother in law has often told me she loves her husband more every day. They have been married for 43 years and raised 6 kids. I've heard it said that some woman prefer older men just beacsue of the theory "woman mature fast than men". I've also heard that "men prefer older woman". I guess there is no "ideal" when it comes to love.

If aged mattered, I believe a lot more of us would be dating or getting married to people that were our age. There is 6 years between my husband and I. He's the older than me, and no matter what I wouldn't trade the love we share for anything on this earth. We have been together a total of 12 years, married 5 of those years, and I don't see us ending our marriage anytime soon, so I do believe relationships with age gaps in them can last a long time, if both are prepared and know what they are doing. As for it being more ideal for the guy to be older than the girl, I believe that would have to do with how the person views things, some prefer their partner to be older, some perfer their partner to be younger. I tend to like older guys, cause most are more mature about things, where most (not all) younger men tend to still want to be "kids" and goof off.

Love is a tender thing that increases through time. If you really think age does matter in love then I think that logic of involving age in love is unlogical. See we choose things by its uniqueness, by the quality and the appearance we get attracted to. You put the same logic here. Love happens itself. We don't push ourselves to love someone. It should come from within. If you think that I'm wrong pl. correct me because that is what I think about love.

I don't think it matters but then again I'm a couple years older than my BF.
