Love does not base on age ,And if you are married,how old are you and your partner? What is your feeling if your partner is more ahead like 16,17,18 years with you?

Your statement is right: Love doesn not base on age. It is a difference of 17 years between me and my partner but we don't think this makes us love each other less. Of course people always have mean comments about our age but we must not listen to them as long as we love each other. Do you have an older (or younger) partner?

I think the age doesn't work on such relations. The only thing is the mind. The mind of the couple should be matches each others. So that they can love them each other without any breaks.

I don't think age matters because some people are mature for theit age and some are immature .I have have had young boyfriends who seem older than me so every situation is different.

Indeed! age doesn't matter as long as both of you are in love with each other. I'm 6 years older than my husband, but he's act & thinking is more mature than me.

As long as the couple genuinely love each other, age won't matter at all. My friends husband is 18 years younger than her. We first thought the guy is not serious at all. But after a couple of years they got married and now they have a baby. Her husband is a good guy and both of them love each other.

Oh thats great,it means to that love can't be measured by the number of age..Because love does not base on age but base on the deep love of each partner..Sometimes just people give different comments about the age in relationship.

Age doesn't really matter as long as you both love each other, sometimes it has an advantage, for a relationship specially marriage takes a lot of adjustment and if one of you is mature than the other, he or she can adjust to the young one. I am married now but we are on the same age, my husband is only 6 months older than me, but I think, for me, age is just a number, it really depends on the person how they can make the relationship work.

My husband is older than me four years. I think it is fine because he will not be too old and we will not have generation gap. Age does matter to me because I don't like my husband is younger than me since women's look will grow older sooner. And I also don't like my husband is older than me a lot since we may not have something in common. I love China

hi befrindwithme if two people really truly love each other perhaps a large age difference does not matter but from childhood through my teens I watched my mom take the verbal abuse from my dad who was much much older than my mom. he claimed he loved her but real love does not verbally abuse his mate day after day year after year, yet they fought a lot but refused to get a divorce. my dad was only three years younger than my mom's own dad. My grandpa often times rebuked my dad for the way he treated my mom. I grew up hating the idea of a young woman marrying a man thirty some years her senior. no sometimes age does matter as that gap was just too much, he treated her like his wayward daughter and not with a whole lot of respect. when I finally found a man to love he was seven years older than me but we were so compatible, we agreed on so much and he was the love of my life. He respected me as a person and as a woman,. He never treated me like my dad treated my mom. never. I have been widowed a long time and still mies my husband so much.

Of course age doesn't matter as long as you two love each other. Now the problem is how much longer can you maintain your relationship and what do you expect from your partner if he or she is 20 years older. If you are now at the age of 30, then your partner is 50. 50 years of age for women are too old to start a family. But 50 for men is not too old because a man at 50 is still energetic and will still be the same for the next 20 years if he can maintain his phisical conditions. To me, the best difference in age should be 10 to 14 years, condition that a woman is younger.

Hello bfrnd, It never matters, maybe you can still rationalize and talk about it all the time when single. but when a person is inlove, it doesn't really matter what the age is, as long as you two are happy with each other and get along with each other just fine. I don't when am i going to have my love one but for sure i hope it won't be too young

hi letran try to find a girl not only not too young but o ne who is really intelligent as you would never be happy with a bubble brain no matter how pretty she might be. I have seen through your discussions that you are very intelligent so you will need a love who is intelligent too. lol

Age tends to rather not matter in many ways to say the very least. Well in some ways it really does. With love and life, age is just merely a number that is on a piece of paper. All age does rather signify is a number of years that we have really be on the earth. It really has nothing to do with how capable we are about certain things are in life. Of course the true problem is those who have to get over the hurdle where age is in fact something that is going to be a concern with. For some people they have certain uncertainty about people who are much older or much younger. Capabilities, intelligence, and maturity all around. That is really going to be something that people are just going to have to deal with.

I don't think age matters in a relationship. As long as you are ready emotionally and mentally. I am older than my boyfriend, by a month only, but in our relationship, I think he is more mature than me. I really don't act my age actually. haha!

I think that a happy and succesfull mariage or relationship is based on other things and not on age difference. If 2 people have common interests,have a good time,care and love each other then the age takes no part and place here.

Age does not matter in a relationship. The degree of maturity for one to engage in such relationship and their willingness to commit to each other is what makes a relationship work. I used to be idealistic when it comes to relationship and I was also influenced by the romance novels that I've read that I thought of looking for someone who is older than me. However, I realized that a person can be 5-10 years older than me but he is not mature enough when it comes to relationship. When I met my boyfriend who is now my husband, I did not think too much of our age gap,(we're of the same age, he is 24 days older than me). Based on my experience, I can say that my husband can be older or younger than I am, it won't matter. What matters most is that we love each other, he is responsible and committed to our relationship and he makes me feel secure in his love.

Hi befriendwithme26 :) Yeah sometime age does not matter in love. But most people want the ideal age range with their partnenr. I think the ideal age range is the man five years older than the women. If my partner 16 years older than me I think it feels like dating our Dad or uncle :| I don't like that range, too far enough. But love is blind :) sometimes it is not important to talk about age. :)

I think that age does not matter in love. I know a 30 something lady and her boyfriend is over 60. I am divorced but when I was married my husband was 6 years older than me. I think that it wouldn't be right for a 15 year old girl to date a 25 year old man. However it she is 25 and he is 35 then this would be acceptable in society. I would have dated a man up to 20 years older than me or up to 5 years younger than me.

Well, for me age doesn't matter unless you feel love to that person. Because love doesn't choose anyone but like anyone else...I don't mind if the person I love is ahead of me within 2o years the important thing was love

Well, I will not deny the fact that you can fall in love with any person of any age. I'm also a firm believer of this fact, and have experienced the same most of the times. But, just to get a reality check, once in a while, you should think about the future, or YOUR FUTURE TOGETHER. It is really important as most of the times, it may not be the case that your loved one can be with you for rest of his/her life! Will you leave your loved one alone ever? Think about it, these things show kind of maturity in your thoughts!

I for one think if you are an adult age should be no obstacle! I am 27 years old and my partner is 51. A lot of my friends and family do not agree with this relationship but he makes me very happy. I get a lot of responses such as "oh what will you do when he is 70?" I find that to be unfair simply because of his age. He take very good care of himself and to be 51 he looks fantastic...I do not see anything wrong with it.

For me age doesnt matter when you fall inlove.mostly love is too blind to think about it if you already falling to someone.when you fall in love it seems everything is perfect.My husband is 5 years ahead of me not too far from each other.But i know some who get married to someone who is like their grandpa.But i think some do after money thats why they married them.I only believe they love them if both are on the same level coz mostly when the gap between the two person are so far like 3 years or 40 years gap,i think love is just a second reason.

HI there For me age is just a number..and it doesn't really matter at all, am not yet married but my bf right now is ahead much older than me. It's just happen that he came first and i came late, the most important thing there is, love and respect with each other and of course other vital elements will follow.
