My personal feelings are that age difference doesn't really matter unless it was a very big age difference. When I met my husband he was only 17 and I was 21. We got married four years later and we have now been happily married for 38 years. However, there is only a four year gap between us so it is not a great age difference.

I quite understand you, but i can see that if the age is too big then its not good from your conversation, right!

I don't think age matters. Love is all you need to make a relationship work. However if one person is considerably more mature than the other then things may well not work out.

Love for the person is the ultimate consideration without love what kind of marriage would it be. Age is just a number my hubby is 7 years older than me age doesn't matter if you truly love someone. I have seen loveless marriages and its not an option i would consider
