In your opinion, anyway.

10 years or older.
My aunt and uncle are 17 years apart. They can barely stand each other after about 12 years of marriage. My cousins are embarassed because most people confuse their father to be their grandfather.
My best friend who is 19 is dating a 47 year old man. They love each other, but there's certain aspects of his life which make it extremely difficult for any 19 year old to handle, much less one who is trying to finish college and get a career.
In all reality, any relationship is hard. An excessive age gap only makes it harder because one person is going to be more experienced and potentially wiser over the other. The relationships that last tend to be because both partners feel equal. If you're in an age gap relationship, ask yourself if there's any part of your partner's life that just may be too much to handle or if you feel you would be on equal terms with your partner in terms of intellect and life experiences.

The age gap is not the only question. If one person is 50 and the other 80, and they're in love, no problem. If one person is 13 and the other is 25, problem! So I don't believe any gap is too many but the absolute ages are more important. Stay away from that old guy kiddo.

Legally 16 years old - 25 years old is the limit.
In reality:
20-30: 5 years
30-40: 10 years
40-90: 10+ years

I'd say it doesnt matter really as long as you love the person and can spend your life with them currently I'm 26 yrs old dating a 35 yr old women she was kinda embarrased at first but she's getting over it now and its seems to be heading strait and steady I have cofidnence that it will work out. But bottom line if you both are comfortable with each other age should matter...

I suppose every relationship is different but it would be safe to say 15 years is about as far apart as comfortable much more then that and the generation gap would be a stress factor

my hubby is 10 years older than me. He's 40, I'm 30. It is a perfect difference in age. It gets too much of adifference if there is 25+ years between a couple.

None BUT women live longer than men so, beware of being a caretaker in late life, if a woman chooses too much older!

In my opinion there is no problem with age.if love is all you need then I'd say age is no bar,no matter what the gap is.

Age is really just a number. However, if they are old enough to have had you or get with your parents..they are too old for you!!! The same goes vice versa.
