When it comes to relationships, they can be between people of different ages. But the question is, does age matter? Should there only be x-amount of years between the people involved in the relationship? Or maybe you feel like there shouldn’t be more than x-amount of years between the people in the relationship. What about when it comes to the age limits of marriage or having children, should there be one? To put it simply, does age matter and, if so, in what way and why?
 
I am much like @JoyFreak , my partner is 5 years younger than I, but it is all about personality and behaviours at this point. Age is just a number in my books.
 
I hope everyone means any age difference above 18 is just a number, otherwise this thread doesn’t sound right lol.

I think a 5 year age difference or even 10 is fine, but 20 can cause differences in the relationship, in my opinion.

I think everyone is on the same page here. I hope anyway.

There are people out there who are in a relationship with 20 years difference and living happily. I don't think it matters. As long as youre both happy!
 
While most people around me will marry most other people, within a5 year range (my younger brother married a girl 4 years younger than him), I think that so long as the age difference isn't too vastly different (think 30 or more years apart), I think it should be fine, so long as both are able to work with it.
 
It all boils down to what life experiences you want to have with the other individual. A core relationship needs to experience the stresses and milestones of regular life, otherwise it is fake and won't last.

That's just my opinion though :p
 
It's legal in most countries, aslong as your 18 years and above. There's nothing wrong with age differences in relationships, what's important is, that your happy and in love with one another. You may be judged by society although you shouldn't have to worry what others think.

Be yourself is my opinion.
 
It doesn't matter nowadays but yet depends on the countries as laws and rules are different. But seen people around there 20s getting married to people in there 70s or 80s. that's just wrong in my option.

The fact is that age is just a number , however this does not mean that , I am in support of such relationship , where a man of about 70 years marries or dates a young lady of 20 years . the imagine is very wide .
It is true that live is all that matters , but then , it is also good to grow old together with your loved one .

I do think a maximum of 15 years difference is idle , anything beyond that is not OK for me .

That's not for you to say and it's none of your business. A girl I work with is in a relationship with a man 20+ years her senior. They're very much in love and are getting married next year. There are fifteen years between me and my partner (so I'm ok, right!?). What's the difference between 15 years and 15 years and three months? Or 16 years? There's no magical cut off point.
 
There is a 14 year age gap between my partner and I so I definitely can't complain about age gaps.

Love is love at the end of the day, regardless of age.

Depends on the country. 16 is the age of consent in my country.
 
The thing with age gaps is I think it really depends on the people involved. My father is currently in a quasi-relationship online (we call her his girlfriend, but he's pretty sure she's gonna turn out to be a scam artist because his luck tends to lean that way) with a woman just a few years older than me. I admit I find it a bit awkward to think about, but if they're both happy and it turns out to be legitimate, I probably won't complain. I do believe age is just a number is valid, but I also can't quite see myself with someone my dad's age or older. But to each his own, you know? I may find it a bit off-putting personally, but I feel it's wrong of me to think that way... Am I making sense?

Well , I get your point bro , but then , that's my opinion , and I was never compelling it on anyone .
The post asked for our opinions , and I gave mine .
We are all different people with different opinions, believe and lifestyle .

Evidently it does in America. If a woman is 17 years old an you're 20, you risk getting arrested for statutory rape and become a registered sex offender.

After my divorce. I started a relationship with a girl who was 26 years old. I am 34 years old. I broke up with her because she was really immature and I realized she was just with me because I was financially stable and what I could give her. She was also really unstable, a sociopath, hated and wanted me to give up my rights for my kids and have kids with her, Always wanted me to take her out...wine and dine her every night. Yeah, she didn't exactly live in the real world. She had the maturity level of a 12 year old girl. My daughter is 10 and is way way more mature than she ever was.

Mature wise, yeah.....if you're dating a 20 - 26 year old woman, she'll have the maturity level of a 15 year old girl. Yes, if you're with them for sex, they're going to have that stamina and the drive for it. But they won't emotionally or mentally be mature enough to be there for you in the relationship. That's why they should date their own age group that way they can actually learn what it is to care for someone and learn what it is they want from a relationship. You know, they need to go out and get a starter boyfriend at that age. Things that are important to you, they may not give a shit about. Been there, done that.
 
For me i don't think age should be a barrier between two people that love each other. The only thing that matters here is the maturity level of both partners are they in a position where they will both respect each other no matter what. another thing is, is the lady ready to yield to the man if the man is much younger than her and vice versa? they should be able to agree to disagree at some point.
