My husband is 13-1/2 yrs older than I am. We have been together for almost 14 years and we are very happily married. We met when I was 18 and he was 31.
I really don't think that age has anything to do with it, though maturity does!
We also have some close friends that are 26 yrs apart in age, and they are very happily married as well.

as long as both of you are of age of consent and both of you are mature enough to handle the little things that make a relationship of age difference a bit more difficult, then fine. You have to consider if you want to deal with the different stages of life your at 20 somethings like to do 20 something activities and 30 somethings like to do 30 something activities you have to expect that compromise will not always be a factor. you also have to realize that you may be biting your tongue more often than you wish. However with a lot of effort and some time you will learn to deal with that difference like it doesn't exist. Your not the first couple to take it that on and I'm sure your wont be the last. Now with that said do the best you can for each other and keep in mind this is about you not your family and friends.

It really depends on how you and the other person connect and if you both are on the same level as far as maturity is concerned. My boyfriend for over a year now is 10 years older then me. It is good and we do have disagreements but we talk about everything. We don't hit and we don't past judgment and pull the age card, we work through our differences like normal people because he is my friend before he is my boyfriend, lover and anything else. You have to have a good working relationship and age doesn't matter if you really and truly love someone and they love you back. Oh, I am like 2?,,,,

As long as two adults find a common ground, they work. My BF is 20 years older (I'm 27) and I can't imagine my life without him. We are on the same level in so many ways - maturity, goals, opinion, etc. Like any relationship, it comes down to a balance of give & take, acceptance, and respecting each other. I believe people come into our lives for a reason, and we learn and grow from them. Being in love is the greatest feeling in the world and age shouldn't stop anyone from experienceing it.

I think that if both of you are of age then it's fine... but it would be better if u both were atleast 22 or something.... i think 10 years is pushing it, unless the youngest person is in their 30's.... then if whoever they were seeing was more than 10 yrs older than them it would be ok b/c they are truly and adult. To me, 20's are still considered really young. 30's are better... and more experienced!

Age difference isn't a big deal as long as you are both at least 21.
