How much important is age in a love relation? woman older? is here a problem?

hi... My experience tells me that if there is love, everything else matters nothing. If the love is true, if the feelings're genuine, then everything's fine. Age, of all, matters the least as long as the feelings are true... :-)

Hey I have a girl friend who is more than 10 years younger than her... she was 38, now going to 40... and he was 24 or 25 during those times they met. She is religious, he is kind... he makes an effort to visit her travelling a total of 4 hours every week during their day off from work, with lots of foods for us. She was my roommate. I had a doubt at first, coz as one of her friend we actually don't believe that a younger guy would fall seriously in love with someone whose age is like her mom's... But then he has proven it, they got married, they got one daughter now, she went back to their country when she was pregnant and after sometime he took her back to be with him in the country where they work. So I guess it will always depend on the guy. Whether he has real intentions to the older girl or not. But definitely this will create gossips among friends of the guys I guess. Coz I'm sure it will not be an issue on the girl's camp because they will only be happy that she has finally found someone when everyone thought she's never gonna get someone to marry her.

I have learned that it does not matter. Whatever your religion is, your beliefs, your age gap... Because at the end of the day, it is between you two. If you want to work hard for your relationship to grow, ifyou want to work together for your love to be as it was in the beginning when you havejust seen each other, or during courtship. Love relationships are a decision. When you decide you want to stay together, you stick together and work things out.

I think that age does not matter in love. One of my mom's friends dated a man eight years younger than her. Their relationship lasted for eleven years. I know a lady that when 32 years old dated a 59 year old man. She is now 37 years old and he is now 64 years old. They are still getting along superbly. I would have dated a man up to 15 years older than me or up to 5 years younger than me.

I think that it depends how old the youngest person in the relationship happens to be. If they're over the age of 21 then I don't really think that age matters to a huge extent anymore. As long as both of the people want the same thing from their relationship, then I am of the opinion that age simply doesn't matter in the slightest. If you don't want the same things then you might start to resent each other because you're not happy and you're looking for someone to blame. Only you know whether you're comfortable with a relationship or not, and it really is up to you to make up your own mind about that.

As long as both party love each other, age does not matter. The difference in age is not important and only society and people put weight on this age matter. Love does not know restriction and this what makes love wonderful and exciting.

My mother is 12 years older than my step-dad, and my husband is 35 years older than I am. Age does not matter when two people are in love. I can think of a lot of people who are the same age and in unsuccessful relationships. The relationship does not depend on age, it depends on the love shared by the two people involved.

it doesn't matter if there's an age gap, as long as the two personalities are compatible. and I really can't understand why people think there's a problem if the woman is the older person in a relationship. it really makes no difference. there's no rule that a woman should be younger than her man. I know a lot of relationships where a woman is a fair amount older, and they're fine. it makes no difference.

For me age doesnt matter. As long as love is there and they both love each other no matter what. Coz love is everything.

I think there are really only 2 issues with a large age difference between people in a relationship. One is other people talking, gossiping or criticizing it. The other issue is the compatibility, interests & the mindset of the people involved. I think the bigger issue is the 2nd one. I think when there is a significant difference in age, it can lead to additional problems in the relationship. For example, say a 37 year old is dating a 22 year old. It seems likely that the older person would be getting ready to "settle down", get married, maybe have kids in the next year or two. But the younger one is probably not thinking about that -- not that it is impossible, but I think chances are, someone in their early 20s would probably rather date around, get experience, than settle down and have kids so early. Ideally, I would rather not date anyone more than 5 years older or younger than me (but considering that I'm 22, I guess I ought to say no more than 2 or 3 years younger). But my absolute cutoff age difference is 10 -- anymore than that & I think it's just awkward. I would hate to be out & have people think he's my father or son
