I have seen many man marry girls who are younger than them. But recently I witnessed a wedding where the girl is older than the boy. They love each other inspite of their age barrier and want to live a happy life. But people do not like it and they were gossiping in the wedding about the age difference. I think the feelings for each other is more important than the age. What about you?

it is up to an individual. For me age is does not matter. I am quite sure there are only half people who will think that they should find this certain age of person to fall in love. But love can be anywhere to anyone. So it really does not matter as long as they both love each other.(^^)

No No No! Ageism is done and over with in regards to love and other things. They say that designer Vera Wang has just dated someone 30 years younger. It's over. We see things differently know. I would marry someone younger,No problem there. It's all about spirit and essence, just that. and only that, spirit and essence. With those two things, you can achieve much withing a relationship, and that is a very very good thing for all concerned. There are many examples of relationships if you search the web, where there are great age differences. The trick is, is to just not listen to what people say. That is the key, just ignore people! Do your own thing! It's America!!!! Live a free life :D

I do not think that age is important to love as we often make it out to be. i think emotiond and heart and commitment are important in the eyes of love. Love doe not know what a number means to us. Only the heart knoes the strengths and weaknesses that love takes us through.

I am agree with you. Age is just a number. The most important thing is how people feel about each other. not their age barrier.

age doesn't matter , it is not a hindrance for two person to fall in love, it is just a number that can be disregarded when people are inlove, i know a couple where in the girl is 8-10 years older than the guy they're already married, right now they're still very much inlove with each other ,my boyfriend is 6 years older than me but it doesn't stop us from showing the world how much we love each other ,

An age difference after while, especially if it's 10+ years, can actually cause fights in a relationship. Usually people with 10 years age gap want something else from life... the elder partner may want kids and stay at home watching moviesm but the younger one still wants to party and wants to wait with having kids. Of course, if their mentality and opinion n these questions is realy similar, it's great luck, and then age difference doesn't count.

love is not about age nor beauty but its about the feelings for each other, if theres respect, understanding and as long as it make them happy then that what matter most, though some got into relationship not because of love as some just got into it for convenience nor just for money sake in the practical way of thinking we dont have right to judge them.

Well i believe that age is quite an important factor in love. Had it been not an important factor, then we would have fallen in love with a person of our father's or of our mother's age. But that doesnt mean that a boy or a girl cannot be older than his/her partner. But the age difference should not be that much high that people will start questioning your relationship.

Age does not matter in marriage these days, though it used to in olden days. People have changed now and most people don't see age as a barrier in marriage. And i am personally for it as well. My mum is few day elder to my dad so i understand. If there is love between two people and want to get married, age should not be a problem.

To me, love is love, whether that is between a man and a woman (of any ages), man and man or woman and woman. We all make choices in life, and we should stick by them and respect others choices too, no matter what they are. So yeah, love is love, no matter what age, whether your male or female or cultural background.
