Everyone has an acceptable minimum to maximum age of
selecting a partner, there is no standard
measure to say maximum but there has been a rule called the ‘half your
age plus seven’. This rules states that by
dividing your own age by two and then adding seven you can find the socially-acceptable minimum age of anyone you want to date. So if you’re a 24
year-old, you can feel free to be with anyone who is at least 19 (i.e., 12 + 7)
but not someone who is 18.
But arguably age is just a number
and maturity is what really matters in a relationship, we always come across
partners of different ages who fall in love with each other, I
know couples who are having an age difference of 12 years and yet lead a
wonderful life.
We truly can't help with whom we
fall in love. Love doesn't care if someone is older or younger, but we
certainly do.
I have always felt better dating
older girls so I always ended up attracting them, it’s not an ego thing but I feel
fulfilled relating with a mature lady than someone I feel is less experienced.
They say love is blind,
but huge age difference between couples makes their relationship very
stressful. When the age gap is between twenty years, such marriages have a very
short life span. Four to eight years is perfect. Ten years is also bit too
much. But it might work. When you marry your age both are able to relate to
your feelings much better.
Over time, the people who are
married to a much older or younger spouse tend to have larger declines in
marital satisfaction over time compared to those who are married to spouses who
are similar in age,
it has shown that age difference can also be a
factor in marriages because
research has shown that certain age
gaps are more likely to end in tears.
