No. I know a 58 year old guy who has been married to a 35 year old woman for about 10 years. They have kids growing like weeds and seem very happy.
I think though it would do both good to find out what true love really is and isn't. Read in the Bible I Corinthians 13 "The Love Chapter" where it says love is patient and kind and seeks not its own way at the expense of others. It isn't boastful or proud and always believes in the positive. This love is such that it will gladly give up its own life to save the life of another. If love dies, it wasn't love in the first place, but something else like lust. Lust will always fail you when someone better comes along. It says of faith, hope and love that the greatest is love. It is this kind of love that has kept my wife and I married for over 29 years. We were virgins on our wedding night and have never regretting waiting until then to have sex. If the two people have this kind of love, any age difference between them doesn't matter. What does matter is that both are willing to commit and exert effort to develop their relationship. When one of the partners isn't willing to work to have the relationship grow, it is doomed to fail. If everyone would practice the principles of love listed above, the divorce rate wouldn't be so high. True love doesn't care about age, beauty, and other external things that Hollywood thinks is important, since they missed the mark ages ago. When my wife and I could tell what the other was thinking without anyone saying anything, or when we would say the same thing at the same time without any hint of what was going to be said before it was said, we knew that we had true love.

I don't think its odd at all. I met my husband when I was 17 and we have been married almost 8 years now. You have to make sure she is mature enough to handle a relationship. Some 18 year olds are and some 18 year olds are not. I think its silly to say that you at different points in your Life.If you met someone new they are always at different points in there Life. I think that has nothing to do with age. Some 26 year old, still act like kids. Looking at my husband he is more a child then I am.

Most people are going to call you gross and say that your a pedophile and whatnot, but really being 18 is relevant. Now if she was 16 I would say go after someone more your speed, but her being 18 is not really that bad. Personally I think I wouldn't have anything in common with an 18 year old and I'm 22, but really if you can make it work I say it could work. Realize though maturity wise she may not be up to par. Hope this helps.

i usually say that age really dosent matter but when it comes to someone as young as 18 it does, you are 26, nearly 30, you are reaching the later stage of your 20s where you have to re-evaluate what you are doing with your life and where you are going and finally take real responsibility for your actions. The 2 of you are in completley different stages of development she has not even reached her 20s and still has so much to experience, could your reason for dating someone so young possibly be subconciously linked to the fact that you are trying to hold on to your younger years and you are not ready for the next stage in your life?

It really depends. The last guy I was involved with was 7 years older than I. We were at such different places in our lives. He was thinking about marriage and family and I am still in school trying to finish. I'd say it's pretty wrong tho. It was a big huge mess for me. And if its meant to be in a few years when age is less of deal, when everyone is looking for marriage and kids, I'd say it's fine.

I was 18 and dated a 28 year old guy. As long as it's legal, age doesn't matter.

Try this
- in 3yrs time its a 21yr old girl and a 29yr old guy
- in 5yrs time its a 23yr old girl and a 31yr old guy
and so on....
* If you are asking if its too young - no, as they are also mature enough to vote and buy guns!
* If you are asking because of the age gap - that'll work itself out as will every other relationship

each case is different. there are plenty of 26 year old males that are less mature than 18 year old females or vice versa.
relationships are work when two people are compatible. age doesn't really matter unless you are self conscious about it.
