Reg age gap in couples, noticed that most of you mentioned maturity level. I gather, women feel that older men are more mature than the ones who are of same age or have less age diff. This might be true from a girl/woman’s perspective. However, if you look at it from the other side, older men will expect their wife to be more mature to match theirs. It is highly likely that in cases of huge age gap, the girl is somewhat forced(for the lack of a better word) to grow up quickly.
Irrespective of the age difference- maturity levels, intelligence, compatibility all of these can be cultivated by one or both partners to make a marriage work. But there are somethings we cannot control – longevity and health.
Death or bad health can leave the surviving younger one to deal with hardships sooner than later.
All the above can happen to couples who have less age gap too. But the chances of misfortune (what you can’t control) is high in couples with large age gap, in my humble opinion. Hence my curiosity to learn what others think, plus this was something mentioned quiet often on this forum.
Thank you all for humoring me with your responses.🤗 It is good to read different perspectives. ❤️
