Hi, everyone!

Love relationships are unique, and some people believe that age is not a determining factor in love. Love is all-encompassing, and I will discuss the topic from two perspectives: those who do not consider age important and those who do. My view is liberal, and I believe that this should apply to anyone entering into a marriage relationship. People have different perspectives and should be free to do what works for them.

I've grown up hearing that the father is the head of the family, and in my opinion, if the man is the head, then the age gap should be between 3-5 years, with the man being older than the woman.

I need to be in a relationship where my partner is 3 to 5 years older. This holds personal significance to me. I would start with "age matters" as my sub-heading and provide details.

Age Matters in a Relationship

I value this perspective and want to emphasize that the age gap in a relationship should be acknowledged and considered. Couples should be within a specific age bracket for various reasons. Regardless of how much I love my partner, his age is a factor.

I have a better rapport with males than females as I can relate well with them. The majority of them are younger, but they are not seeking a marriage relationship; instead, they come to learn from me, ask questions, or spend time with me.

Age matters in a relationship because a woman would always respect the man being older than her, and honor will come naturally. In this context, a man should also grow financially and spiritually and embrace his role as a man.

I have a love language for a man who has a structured approach to life. I have a soft spot for this man. He is a man who is always present for his family, taking responsibility as a man while being financially stable and secure. It is important to me that everything about the man must be in orderliness, including his age, financial stability, and spiritual well-being. My role as his wife is to be his support system in everything he does.

There are many aspects to consider when the man in a relationship is older than the woman. It plays a significant role that women may not fully understand. For me, it is hierarchical, and I respect that. Love comes here genuinely.

If my man is 30 and I am 25 years old and there is mutual understanding, social compatibility, medical compatibility, and love compatibility, we are free to go. 😏

Age doesn't matter but love matters.

However, love fails here at times. If a woman is older than a man, and the man keeps pushing the relationship into marriage, two things would likely happen in the future. The man will leave because the woman is older than him and on the other hand, the woman will feel like she is the head because of her age. Here, the woman will regard the man or respect the man as supposed to be. And I don't condone it. Some women humble themselves without anybody noticing that the woman is older than the man.

Furthermore, I have one in my church. Her husband is tall and huge and she is average. The wife of this man is older than her husband. She is very humble. How did we know? They had their marriage anniversary, and the husband happened to share this testimony of how she got married to a woman older than him but very humble in every aspect of relating with her husband. This is a virtuous woman with a deep understanding of what a marriage relationship is. And they aged with love, companionship, and peace.

Understandably, many people go for what works best for them. Love, respect, and peace of mind are the major factors that people look out for when it comes to relationships. The age gap doesn't matter to them. Here, in this context, love speaks louder than age difference. A 25-year-old friend got married to a 45-year-old man. My friend loves this man like this. So, this is what my friend went for and it worked for her genuinely. And she is happy in this marriage.

Some people get overwhelmed with the concept of love and later shattered due to a lack of understanding.

For me, the age gap is pivotal in relationships. So I would advise ladies to settle with a man older than them and men should settle with ladies whom they are less of age.

This is my opinion

Thank you for reading through. I hope you have learned from this piece of mind.

Stay blessed!

I love, I care, and I forgive
