Does the age really affects the success of a relationship?

My husband is two years older than me. We don't have issues about "generation gap". We have the same taste for music, food, and all other stuff. I guess compatibility is an important factor as well. But on more serious level, it's just a matter of maturity.

I am more or less 6 years older than my husband . But so far , we are doing fine . We may disagree on things but we learned how to " give and take " .

Hi Crunch,personally, i prefer that the guy is older than the girl. Two to five years maybe is good, but if the the man is ten or more years older than the girl then problems might arise especially if the girl is still in her twenties and have not enjoyed her youth much. Both should adjust more in order to have a successful relationship. More often,the one who is older is the one who adjust more.

Yes, usually age will reflect the maturity of someone, though it is not always run for all people. The maturity will support someone to make a success of relationship. Try to pay attention, teenage usually can't create a success of relationship than adult.

In my opinion, no. They can be the same age but still might not get along well. I think it's more about compatibility rather than age difference.

Age really doesn't affect the success of a relationship, per se.. it's maturity that does, like everyone else has said. However, *usually* the younger you are, the less mature you are - but that's not *always* the case, as plenty of young people go through the ringer early in life. Also, I can speak from experience that getting married at 22 to another 22 year old was, in the end, a bad decision, but it was because we both weren't mature enough to handle the marriage. Now I am almost 27 and with someone who is 24 years older than me (he just turned 50!) and I am the happiest I have ever been in a relationship. So for me, him being older is better for the relationship because he has more life experience and is more mature. So it all depends! :) P.S. The age gap does make people look at us a bit oddly, but more often than not people are super nice!

Yeah as they said, it's the maturity level of each person. One has to be more mature than the other, otherwise I don't think I'd work.

,my parents should never have married he was 58 she was 21 amnd he reated er like a rater stupid young daughter.She was not stupid at all she was just a a lovely young woman married to a man old enough to be her father. Hee verbally abused her all time

Not age. Maturity does affect.

yes at some stage is age gap is more then it effect is more because which thing you like maybe they not like going for tracking or movie or outstation or adventures my way gap should be not more then 3 years, maturitiy and understanding also hold relationship.
