In Love, age and all those things do not matter. Suppose a man loves a woman; he wishes to have her all to himself and feels he wants her to sit near him, to stand near him, and to eat and move at his bidding. He is a slave to her and wishes to have her as his slave. That is not love; because it is painful; if she does not do what he wants, it brings him pain. With love there is no painful reaction; love only brings a reaction of bliss, if it does not; it is not love, it is mistaking something for love. When you succeeded in loving your husband, your wife, your children, the whole world, the universe in such a manner that there is no reaction of pain or jealousy. The main motto behind telling u all this is only one thing, dont look at physical love, look at the love within ur heart.
Thanks

No. A lot of people will say a lot of things about this but all that matters is that both of the people are happy with what they have with one another. They're both adults and their choice of partners should be entirely up to them and not society. It's different from being in a relationship with someone your own age and at times those differences will be quite obvious to point out but if the couple is willing to work thru those issues like anything else then as I said before, no problem.

Yes, I think that age does matter in a way. 24 years seems like an awful lot. I don't think that age is a big deal, but periods of your life are. For example I am in college and I would probably not date a retired person or someone in high school. They are looking for different things in their life. I want a job, kids, and I am looking to the future whereas an older person has already done all these things and a younger person isn't ready for them. Age plays a big part in where we are in our life and I think that is often does come into play in our relationships.

No, it only matters to what both people think, would you spend the rest of your like with someone when your 40 and they are 64? how about 20 and 44? it sounds better eh? it shouldnt matter to other people but the two involved have to make a point in the relationship and agree on a certain line

No, it truly does not matter. Because I know from experience I was with a man that was 23 years my senior and loved every minute of it. He cared for me deeply and I did for him the very same way. Sad to say he passed away 4 years ago. He was the only man that truly loved me. Men most of the time older are more seasoned to life, you will learn a lot from them that is truly golden. Yea!! I'll take my phrase back age does matter to me for I HAVE to have an older man. Go for it girl you will have a blast!!!

My mother-in-law was 25 when she married her husband and he was 53. He was able to father two sons. My husband is the younger one. One thing she never experienced was him cheating on her. He told me once before he died that he told her to make sure to tell him, if someone would ever make her want to leave him...and he would let her go. At one point she had a persistent admirer- he told me- ... who just couldn't understand how she could be married to someone so much older. I guess she was somewhat interested in that guy, because otherwise why would he have told me about it. She resisted that temptation and survived him. He passed away at 91 years of age.
One thing a couple with this much age difference have to make sure doesn't happen is this: do not make your kids super dependent, because of fear that the older parent might pass away soon...and that they would have to take his place in making sure she will have them as her companions for the rest of her life
.Their wives will eventually want their own home where they can be "the lady of the house". This is what happened to us...but after years of drama... we now live peacefully next- door to each other.

A lot of excellent answers here, so, no chance for me to get the 10 points. I do think 25 years is about the max, but that is only my personal opinion. Anything up to and including that could certainly work with the right couple.

well as for sometimes to come it won't matter, but surely with the passage of time this gap of 24 years (believe you me) will widen like a gulf .
God forbid a time may come when one out of the two won't be able to satisfy the spouse sexually( the one who's 24 years senior in age) that is the time when things might go wrong.
however if both pledge to standby each other in all such situations than impossible can be made possible...................
so best of luck...

Yes, you wouldn't be asking if it didn't make a difference. If you care what others think (we all do to some extent) you are going to be always worried about it. Relationships are hard enough! wait for a year or more to decide if you are going to last you need time to seperate endorphines from reality. Good Luck! Life ain't easy

As long as the couple is happy and knows that the happiness will remain the same ten years from tonight considering the age differences.

I don't think either that age matters in a relationship, I just think the older in a relationship the more experienced in a relationship, so if who ever in the relationship is the oldest he or she should know what to do in certain situations......(just my opinion)
