Have you ever heard this statement: ((speaking of relationships)) "Age Doesn't Matter But The Heart Does" To what extent this statement is true? Do you believe you can marry a man older or younger and make it work? |

I may not be able to speak to the issue of marriage between a man and a woman, but I can speak to the issue of relationships and age difference. I think it is important...I think if there is a 10-year age span for those involved, that is good. My gf for a long time told me she was 56...I'm 51. She just told me that on her birthday this month she will be 60. She thought this would make a difference to me, which it didn't. We have a lot in common so why would her age be a factor? Now, if she had told me she was maybe 70, that would make a big difference to me...not so much because there would be nothing in common anymore, but because the chance for any intimacy could be minimal or gone. With her being 60, I know the chance for intimacy is there and we can still talk. After all, when the intimacy is gone for one or the both of us, we will still be able to talk about lots of things. And that's important, too. So yes, I feel age is important. |

"Age Doesn't Matter But The Heart Does" I have heard this Do you believe you can marry a man older or younger and make it work? I've always had mixed feelings over marrying a younger man but have no issue with marrying someone older. I feel that one can fall in love with another and age may have no bearing or perhaps they didn't know the others age. But what about when they find out the woman is say 20 years older? I would not feel comfortable with someone that much younger but then others don't mind. I always dated older guys and my dh is 6 years older than I am. |

I agree with Lori.A 10(maybe even 15)year span is okay.Dh is 7yrs my senior,but he still acts like an old man though.It's really according to the ppl involved.A wider age span can cause insecurities.But like I said,it's according to the ppl.As long as the junior is of legal age . |

I am all for marrying anyone you love,but if the younger man doesn't have children and wants them,maybe the older woman is past the age.Of course they can adopt. |

| My husband is 20 years older than me. It has never been an issue. He has health problems and is nearing the end of his life. I don't consider that an age issue - it's a health issue. I was having health problems that affected our lives together long before he became so ill. I don't know about marrying someone younger. I knew one couple that the husband was a good friend of the wife's oldest son when they met. They were very happy together. He helped her to raise her younger children and they all loved him. Unfortunately he had a heart attack and died in his early 40's. Another couple where the wife was older than the husband didn't work out so well. But then, he was an a**. I don't think age had anything to do with that. |

I could never marry let alone become involved with a man younger than me. My ex was 6 months younger and that was bad enough. I enjoy older men, always have. When I was younger I never dated anyone less than 3 years older than myself. Even my "special someone" is 3 years older. I want to share time with men who know about black and white television and the huge nob for changing the channels even though there were only three! I prefer to be with someone who understands when I say "It's Howdy Doodie" time when someone asks what time it is. |
