If not, then whats the maximum amount of years that you think a couple can have between them and why.

That is perfectly ok as long as the younger is not underage. My boyfriend is 12 years older than me and we have the best relationship.
Age does not matter. Love is what counts. Good luck!

Between consenting adults, all is fair. Twelve years isn't such a bad age difference. There are couples where the age difference is twice as great. The only real problem is that the older partner will probably decline and die long before the younger one. However, if you accept that death is a part of life and nothing to be afraid of, and if you believe that loving that person is better than not loving that person... then live and love who you will no matter what.

12 years is a big deal if you are talking about 16 and 28 or maybe even 18 and 30. But after that I think it is all good. There may be some personality differences due to generation gaps, but age is only a number after BOTH are adults.
My wife is 10 years younger (just had our 9 years) and I have a buddy who is engaged to a girl almost 13 years younger (she acts older than he).

Depends, if you're 18 and he's 30 that's baad, but if you're 30 and he's 42 it's OK, why? Because as you grow older, interests don't differ that much, and the age gap seems to shorten. I'm 34 and my husband is 42, sometimes, age matters, like when i want to go out and he wants to stay home and relax, but if you are mature, then that shouldn't be a problem. Just as long as he doesn't start to belittle you because you are sooo young. I think 3-4 years max is OK.

Is not about the age is more about the love in between both. As long as it is a legal age. I'm 26 and my ex is 46. It didn't work out for other reason but we are now great friends. The age only gets in between the people that don't accept it.

I don't think age makes that much of a difference. However they do both have to be over the age of 18 to even consider having a serious relationship. Someone younger just can't and shouldn't do it.

well i want to start off by saying that i am 19 and my man is 33. we have our fights like any other couple, we dont fight about our age but we fight because he is jelous. i guess what im trying to say is that age is nothing but a number, u shouldent let ur age be the highlight of ur relationship. enjoy ur spouse and injoy life! i dont think there should be an age range for any couple who are over 18.

i don't know if you love each other then it doesn't matter that's a big difference though there is no maximum if you love each other then you love each other nobody can tell you if you shouldn't be together but if it's illegal like he's 16 or older and you're under 16 then you might want to leave him alone unless you want to get in trouble with the law

there became 12 years between my oldest sister and youngest sister. at the moment, my family individuals is made from 14, 12, 11 & 8.... infant on the way. easily, i imagine spread out is more effective positive. that is truly not common to have more effective priviledges, regulations, etc with the a lengthy time period so close. My sisters & I are all very close now too.
