Marriage age gap

Afro_Chic · 12-16-2011, 03:59 PM

Hello Darlins,

Out of curiosity, what is a good marriage age gap between husband and wife? 5-10-15 yrs. Have you noticed any trend that seems to create a happy relationship balance? How much is the age difference a factor in matured committed relationship?

I wanna know what you guys think.

I don't think age difference really has an impact on a happy marriage. Its more about the two personalities than the age itself. I know couples that have 7 -14 years between them. One just needs to find that balance that works for them. Ain't no rules to these kinda things.

You're very wise. What a coincidence that i just read this also:

Exactly what Aderonkei said. Generally speaking, my preference appears to be around 3-5 years older, but I don't have any set age restrictions as long as the person is my age or older. I'm still hesitant about considering someone younger than me, but I probably would if I were to come across a mature enough "kid".
