Does larger age barriers help marriage to last longer?

Does age matter in relationship? I heard that couples with larger age barrier have mature and sophisticated relationship? Where as couples with less or same age have fragile relationship.

Hi Pinku, I am four years older than my husband, and although there are minor arguments as any normal couples have, I am perfectly happy with my married life. Perhaps age can be a problem if one or both parties are not matured enough to carry on a relationship. It depends on the persons involved. Have a great day and welcome to myLot!

I think what ever your suggestion is right. For healty relationship one has to mature and sophisticsted. If both are agressive then relationship and dominating then it will be just marriage on paper

It's very difficult to answer. I don't think there is any straight answer of it. generally, age does not matter. Book of love says us this. But if the age gap is too wide then problem can arise for the generation gap, that means difference of thinking. Same age group marriage also has its disadvantages especially if both are very young. Immaturity often breaks this type of relationship. What matters is how well a couple handle the situation. More maturely they handle the things it would be better for them and their future as well. So the bottom line is, understand each other, love each other and respect each other. If a couple is successful in it then age or anything certainly doesn't matter.

I thing you are right. The mature and sophistication in relationship is most important fact. So age barriers will not matter.

I'm not really sure on this one. I have heard this myself though. My husband and I are five years apart. We have a great relationship. My parents are four years apart and have been together for fifteen years.

This is interesting to entertain. As ideas. A large barrier in relationships would be OK I think. I would find it fascinating. However families may not approve of this. People say to not care what your family thinks and do what is best, but sometimes their influence is best to listen to! I think it would be a sophisticated relationship. It would be hard. People have a natural inclination at different ages. If one of them would be stifled this may be a problem. I wouldn't care to have someone too much older than me. I would want to be listened to with somebody my own age.
