Does age matter?

In every relationship we can't able to deny that differences between partners are always exist. The likes and dislikes of each other are really not the same; but if love truly feels whatever differences won't be a problem because there is acceptance. How about having age differences; does it matters? If a man/woman is younger or older having age gap of 5-15 years, do you think will that be okay or probably problems may arise in the future? Share your thoughts with me!

Whether age matters really depends on other parts of the relationship. If you're 25 year old with a partner who is 45 but you have a lot of things in common and can share them, that's fine. On the other hand, you could be a couple of the same age and have nothing in common. My partner is almost 10 years older than me. The age isn't a problem at all. Being at different stages in life can be difficult at times but that isn't all about age anyway. He has health problems which mean that he can't do a lot of things. He's travelled the world and had lots of different experiences, though, while I am only just beginning really because I've mostly just been a mum. But none of that has much to do with age. He is still young at 47. He's happy for me to do the things I want to do but we still have plenty in common to enjoy together. Saying that, though, I have known others with larger age gaps who find it much more problematic. It really depends on the relationship and on what you want from it.

My ex husband was 3 years younger than me when we met and I know it wasn't his age, but his immaturity that made things not work. I was also very young, but very mature for my age. All it takes is one not being ready to grow up to ruin the whole thing.

honestly for me age doesnt matter but the truth is that other people will look at you and your bf in a different way if you are older than him. sadly, the way we are raised we believe that the guy should be older. i think it doesnt matter as long as they love each other and feel happy. but you need to face that many people will criticize and look down on you. but hey we have to be strong and ignore them ^^ if we and the person who is with us is happy then everything will be overcame ^^

I think it depends on how the people in the relationship feel about the age difference. My ex from younger than me but we were not suited for each for reasons I would not like to talk about.

Age only matters when someone is looking for a reason to dump his or her marriage partner, but if love has found its true meaning then age does not matter. In most cases, a third party may use this factor to gain entry into where he or she has no right to, and if a love bird falls for it then it would mean the person was not serious about that relationship from the word go.
