Does age difference between a couple affect relationship?

[aninditasen]

There are many who think that age is just a number in a love relationship. However my opinion is something different. With age our attitude towards life changes and thereby it does affect relationship. A couple of same age or few years differences between the husband and wife have almost the same attitude. Even if there are differences they accept them easily. However when there's a wide age difference both think in different lines and become uncompatible to each other. Invariably I have seen in India that if the husband is quite elder to the wife the society around her taunt her Invariably of marrying an old man and this is at times the cause of fight among the two.

If you love the person not his or her age, so it does not matter at all. What matters is they are both in love and compatible.

I think i get your point, but at the end of the day it depends. For most persons with age comes experience and maturity. But i have also come across people who still do not act mature even with their years, while there are people who are extremely young but extremely mature. I believe this is why most people say age is just a number.

That would be funny, after some years, the person remains immature. It will be crucial on the part of the spouse.

Yes, i have seen matured men and women take certain actions even a teenager won't take.

I had an ex, older than me, and I felt safe and depended on him for expenses, lol, but he died due to cancer of the urethra. I could not find another man, thoughtful, financially stable, and caring like him.

Love vanishes when experiences in life takes the forefront. We mound or keep changing according to our experience and react accordingly. Had that not been the case we wouldn't have witnessed divorces of old couples who spend long years together. Divorces happen when they get tired of making the marriage work for years.

From my 34years of marriage I would never say age is just a number. I can say with years I kept changing and looked at life differently at every stage of life.
