I want to ask the members of this forum a question: How much importance do you give to age when it comes to a relationship? Do you feel that a difference in age between a couple is important? If so, how much should there be? Write in!

Building relationship is a matter of mindset n attitude. It revolves round love, the nucleus. Age difference, sometimes matters,but in today's changing circumstances it's not a prime concern. It was important earlier b'cause male members unlike today were selfish n always extracted benefits of service from their very young partners.i recommend five years age difference betn. partners, either more or less.

Everyone wishes and pretends that age does not matter in relationship but I think it does. How much? It depends on the person. Personally, I wouldn't consider dating a man younger than I am. But that's just me.

I think its unsolved problem,I think it all depends upon ur mindset and ur level of satisfaction , my g/f happiest with me although younger .!!!!!!!!!

Yes ofcourse the age matters ,you float a very sensible topic but donot get any mail!

Man and horse never get old.

Girl/Female younger the better. Depend on how young man can win

On emotional front more than the age I think relation depends on the level of maturity. A person of 30 can be as immature as 15 and a person of 20 can be as mature as 30. So all in all its the understanding and the maturity that make a relationship work. But physically it is better if two person have age difference of less than 10 years. But then there are many real life & Hollywood couple with a huge age difference like Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore(16 years), Catherine Zeta Zone and Michael Douglas(25 years), Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn (35 years) but they have successful relationship. So if you are really interested in that person it doesn't matter that much.

I agree to the contents of Supriya and many others in this discussions.There is no age bar in marrying.There are cases where the lady is elder to the man by 6 to 10 years.Vice versa the the man is elder by 8-10 years to the lady/girl.Me too has difference of 10 years and elder to wife while we have happy married life for the last ove 33 years having three sweet daughters.I have posted a blog on How to keep happy married life and any one interested may have a look to the same .

Actually there is no rule as of written anywhere what should be the ideal age between a couple.. but yes as sandeep thakur said ideally it should be not more than 6 years, i have my own cousin sister who was married (arrange marriage ofcourse) in her 20 age to a man of 30 age, difference of 10 years u see!! yet they are happily married and having a small baby girl of 3 years. Me myself in a love relationship with a boy who is 5.5 years elder to me, so that does not actually matter till the time the couple loves each other.. i personally believe couple of same age who marry their marriage either dont last for a long time or they keep it lasting their marriage for the sake of children or for their parents.. EGO clashes generally happen between couple of similar age group if both are independent while age difference couple understand each other in all respects so i would personally prefer a person elder to me by minimum of 4 years.



Whats your take on this?

Techinically ideal age difference is 6-years and in the older times it was used to be 10-14 years but wid recent changes of CO-ED Education and more gender equality society the age difference is getting lesser ... Now its around 2-3 years average so it doen't really matter...

An age difference is always good, but it's not really important. Two people of the same age could make a great couple too.

I think it does not really matter. A girl could be with a man even younger than herself & it could be a totally smooth relationship. It just depends on the individuals in question.

I think an age difference of anything between 2-5 years is fine.

Well, I think it's important. I would ideally like to be with someone who is older than me. This is because of the basic biological difference between men & women & the fact that women mature faster than men. So a man of my own age is not really an option.
