There's this saying age doesn't matter , and jail is just a room . Is age really matter in a relationship?

No. In this modern age even old men marry young women, and most of them are not forced marriage. Maybe the reason is younger women are looking for a father figure, that's why they are marrying older men.

For some age conscious,  yes.  But for some, it is not.  As long as you are in love and understand  each other, age is no longer an issue.  There are girls and guys who choose older men or women because for them older men and women are more matured and experienced in some things.  We cannot teach our heart whose to love.  If our heart choose the one older than I, we follow our heart most of the time.  Age is should not be an issue in a relationship as long as they are single and free.

Not really in most cases, where its important is in terms of maturity, age is not the factor in any relationship at all if the parties involve love and respect each other the rest is history! The most important thing in life is to figure out what you want and who you want to spend the rest of your life with. Understanding in any relationship is the key to the sustainability of that relationship not age.
Age is just a number hook up with who ever you find worthy spending your life with and forget the age!

Not really, age doesn't really matter in relationship.
Relationship really depends on understanding, if the two partners can understand each other, then age is not a factor, but just a number

Definitely not, Love is sometimes unconditional and unpredictable.
You could possibly fall in love to a person, doesn't matter if they're younger or older than you and its not a factor in a relationship as long as you love each other and your'e both consenting adults.
However, age does matter if one is still a minor and the other one is not, especially if the man is older than the other and she is not at the right age yet. It is definitely against the law and its a serious offense.

[September11Myth]

Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not, it is a very subjective aspect. For example, for French Prime Minister Macron age is probably important, since he has a relation with a woman who could be his mother, which means he likes old and wise women to protect him and show him the way.

Age doesn't really matter. But everything must be within reason. It is easier for a young woman to be with a man her age or a little older/younger because they have the similar views on life and topics for conversation.

I share your view partially because where I come from,when an older lady dates a younger man in age,more often than not,inferiority sets in for the man,such that when disputes arise the ego of the man is threatened. The lady has to go extra mile to show shes indeed respectful.in the end the relationship may not last.

Nop, what matters is to see if both parties truly have a spark and are mature about having a relationship.

[tegaisaffluent]

To mean age is an important factor in a relationship because if the gap is wide they will see things differently and that will bring some really avoidable unpleasant situations. However, this is still contingent on the level of exposure and how much of human relation knowledge the people in the relationship have anyways.

[udik235]

age is not the issue, the most important is consistent in the relationship.

[cryptothief]

There's a 'well known' mathematical formula for the socially acceptable age difference, even though in my opinion age doesn't really matter. Avoid disparaging looks by sticking to the below 'rule'.

Divide your age by two and add seven, and that should be the youngest age for your partner.

Aged 20 - partner should be 17 or older
Aged 30 - partner should be 22 or older
Aged 40 - partner should be 27 or older
Aged 50 - partner should be 32 or older
Aged 60 - partner should be 37 or older etc. etc.

[SkyFlakes]

No, because as long as those persons are truly in loved with each other then, respect should be offered to them. Here in pur country, there were a lot of featured stories in news, social media or television about those persons who love each other regardless of having 10, 20, or 30 years of age gap. I don't really have any problem with that. As long as they are respecting me as a person, then that's the time that they deserved to have my respect. I respect that they are just humans who are spreading love. Who don't want to be in love?

[GG_nick]

Between the people (who are in a relationship with each other) involved, it shouldn't as long as they understand each other and are committed to being in the relationship with the other person. Legally though, it's a different story.

Well, in my opinion it doesn't matter. It will not affect for the two person who truly loves  each other. Take for an example, Prince Harry and Meghan got married to think the age gap and the status they belong. If you love theirs no boundaries on it.

[norther90]

Of course age matters,whatever people say kinda “love doesn’t have boundaries ,bla bla”.Look around and hardly ever meet couples which have a big difference in age,if they are together it’s usually because someone gets benefits,but nothing about love.Different ages-different interests,point of view,attitude to life.Even if one of them is super interesting,adorable  and nice person they will face a problem of miss communication.8 years is a maximum age difference in my opinion.

[Bawang]

No. Age has never been an issue in relationships. If two persons love each other, age, gender, or distance will never be issues for them. True love exists in many different forms, yet true love doesn't require anything but unconditional LOVE.

[Idaujotaite]

I think it depends on so many things, like maturity and views. I think if you like a person, you get along, then you have nothing to lose.

[Sparklingangel]

I don't think age is an important factor in a relationship.
Age is just a number. Love is what matters. If you love yourselves, then age should not be a factor.
