Love beyond the years

_{This is a publication based on the suggested topic proposed in the Hive Learners community through their discord, which on this occasion is the age gap.}

The age difference is subjective, since it depends on the values ​​that the couple has in common.

The age difference when it comes to having partners, in my case, has not been something important. This is because I have been a very mature person.

I have had partners who have been much younger than me, ten or fifteen years younger, but they have had a great maturity to be with me.

In fact, the love of my life turned out to be someone fifteen years younger than me, but with an impressively advanced maturity, to the point that she realized we were from different worlds because we were from different social classes and she didn't want to continue advancing the relationship precisely because the barrier of being from different social classes and different worlds was not going to allow her to fit into her scenario, into her environment.

She came from a group of people who lived in the countryside, very humble people, and I had a much higher social status than hers.

And there, I can tell you that despite the age, we managed to get together and we managed to be together for quite a while, but age did not influence this, but rather the maturity of the person.

So I think that what matters when having a relationship with someone is the factor of experience and maturity.

For me, I take it and see it as the most important point.

There is an important factor that I have to mention and it is the aspect of the common goals that these people have when they are going to get married.

It is necessary and very important that these people have common objectives because this is going to be important, not age, although I must mention that with age, greater knowledge and greater security are acquired, which would facilitate having greater common objectives.

So there is also the other factor of religious beliefs or traditions that one has, whether or not they are shared, because for example, if a person is Jewish, it is very difficult for them to want to marry a person who is of another religion, who is Catholic or who is Muslim, it is not allowed, it is not seen that way, just as if a person is of the Mormon religion and another is Catholic, then they will have conflict.

So in that sense, it is also important to have common goals, not age.

As for age, there is a factor that I also consider quite important, which is the age of people, and this is precisely because as people get older, they tend to have worn-out organs, they start to have health problems, and it doesn't matter if the person is older, but if the person has their organism in a functional and healthy way and is in good health, then age doesn't matter in that sense.

And as another point that I want to mention is also the fact that if a person is very old, they will probably be, as I said before, worn out and will not have the same vital force to be able to create children or generate new lives, which is very different, for example, a woman or a man who is 10 or 20 years older who has that desire or that strength to create new lives or to reproduce because that factor is also there, the vital energy is not the same, the will to live may still be the same but it decreases because it is a natural process of life to wear out over age.

So personally, I find that for me, age is not important, but maturity is.

At this point in my life, I wouldn't mind being with a woman older or younger than I am, who is 56 years old, but what I would care about is that we have things in common, and within those things in common, I always look for differences as an important part because I believe that couples who are different tend to function better precisely because those differences between each other make the relationship work.

And this is my point of view about love in the age gap.
