Age Difference

Age difference in couples are one of a miracles of life. This is the living proof the love makes no boundaries. Actually their feelings of age is no different to them, the older feels young, and the young feels old. And most of the time the young one look old faster than her or his age. But thats ok!

I honestly do not think that age makes any difference in a marriage. Some 20 years olds are just, if not more, mature than some 40 year olds. My last husband and I had an 11 year age difference. I was older than him but that never made the slightest bit of difference in our relationship.

It doesn't matter as long as people agree with each other. Most of the time relatives have a problem bigger than people involved...

well for me it doesn't really matter. i don't think age has something to do with the relationship. i believe its more about the love of each partner to one another and their maturity to handle themselves very well. and as far as i know there was no such restrictions or law regarding age difference. so i think as long as the two persons involved are in love with each other there will be no problem about it even if their age is miles away apart from each other. anyway happy mylotting!

If two people have found that special connection and love each other, then age makes no difference at all. Age is just a number, although there is a generational aspect to consider. My wife and I are just two months shy of being 9 years apart in age. We have been together for 27 years and married for 22 1/2 years. Age has never caused a problem. Of course, she does tease me about being able to retire before her, therefore she will need to support me for those 9 years!

I do not think that age difference matters at all. Some people think its strange when they are young, but as long as it is not that difference with a young teenager, then it is okay. People find someone that they really wanna be with, so it does not matter.

10 years? 23 years? Add those together, and my husband and I still have them beat! I'm 27, and my husband is 62 (63 in April). He's 3 years older than my parents. We love eachother to bits, and are going to be together until one of us croaks. For us there is no such thing as too much of an age difference.

I think now the society has changed a lot. So there is no more like sop much of age difference. You are going to feel like there is generation Gap.So it depends on individuals. For me max 4 yrs.

If it is a healthy relationship I don't see that any age difference is too much. And I may be judgmental for saying this, but I don't see a 23 year old woman and an 75 year old man being in a "healthy" relationship. So I guess that age difference would bother me. lol My dad is four years older than my mother. And my sister's husband is 8 years older than she. I'm sure if I fell in love I wouldn't care about any age difference, but I think the age difference I'm comfortable with is 10 years between me and any man I might meet. That is just a personal opinion I hold for myself. Now I certainly wouldn't let my 16 year old daughter date a 26 year old man, but if she were 22, and he 32, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I guess it is all dependent upon where one is in life.

Age doesn't matter in love as they've said...As long as you truly love and care for each other, that matter most... I have seen a lot of happy and successful couple whose husband is half her age older or vice versa!

I don't think it should really matter. I have a friend, whose parents are 11 years apart in age, and seem happy. If two people really love each other, I don't think age should really matter.

You could add both those differences together and I still have you beat! My wife is 35 years my junior and we're exceptionally happy together and completely compatible. Her folks got over this relatively quickly (I'm older than both of them). They've gotten used to me around.

I don't think age matters after awhile. My husband is 6 years younger then me and it's not noticable. I think what is really important is the couple and how they are together. I think if they can communicate there is no reason age would be an issue. Namaste-Anora

Well i think sometimes age difference doesnt matter just because when we think that the person with us is going to be with us forever and love us the way he does forever. But for me as i think is i think age difference counts because if you marry a 59 yr old guy and you are somewhere 34 or 36 he is never going to be that intresting with you, he is almost tired he would like to watch televison many times rather than moving out with you, he wont be good in bed just because he is too old now and cannot perform his job well. i think there should be enough charm and spark in the relation so that you dont regret or nor your partner that they have made a wrong decision in life.

I think that we only feel as young or old as we do and that age is only a number. I do find something odd about an 18 year old girl with a 40 year old male but the age difference in itself isn't an issue, in my own mind. I think that even if there was a forty year age difference it wouldn't matter. Even a fifty year age difference. Age doesn't matter as far as I am concerned. Some people are attracted to those older than themselves. Often women are attracted to men that are older than them. I don't find anything wrong with that regardless of age difference.

For me, age difference for married couples matters much especially when talking about adjustments. What I believed, is that ideally, men should be older than women, because men's maturity develops later as that of women. Since men were thought of as a head of the family, the breed-winner, so men must know how to handle problems that may come and go within the family. He must be the model. Aside from age difference, I learned also that between couples,the husband, should be the eldest from his immediate family.The wife may either be the eldest, or youngest, or in between.The eldest is characterized by good leadership, better adjustments, model and a responsible one.Youngest were seen as spoiled so they should be match with eldest child.If both partners were youngest, then there's a probability that both are spoiled.

Well over here if its an arranged marriage people opt for a boy who is about 3 to 5 years older than the girl........But in love marriages mostly the couple tend to be more or less of same age since they may have studied or worked together.Ideally I prefer to have an age gap of 3 or 4 years....But its said love is blind and hence its not easy to fix an ideal age difference...It all depends on the couples comfort zone...I guess......

Although it's normal phenomeno recently,to me,I prefer the same age or 1-2 years older than me,but if too older,i don't like that.Because there may be some different thoughts,gaps,and no common topics and i do not know how to communicate with him.In addition,my family will not agree either. Anyway,loving each other is the most important.Wish you are happy !

Husband being 5-10years older than wife can be accepted generally,but if more than that,there will be more trouble in their life.Their relationship maybe misunderstanding, and the girl's parents maybe can't agree with their love. Accoring to a science report,if the husband is much more older than his wife, their child will not as smart as the ones whose mother is older than their father. In another aspect,couples are certain to wish company with each other till the end of the life,if their ages are so different that it's hardly for them to make the dream above come true.

I think it is good to have a small age difference but if it is like 20-30 years it would be hard for the two people to relate because one would most likely be more mature. They would probably not last long because of this too. With one republican senator trying to move the age of sexujal consent to 12 there is more likely a chance that something like this could happen
