“Does Age Matter in a Relationship?”

Loving someone nowadays is very common, it’s either a student, a teenager, old
people and even children. Even though love is present in a relationship, there are factors
that might cause the destruction of their bond towards one another in terms of; physical
appearance, attitude, status and most importantly age. There is a quote, “Age doesn’t
matter”, but is it true that age doesn’t matter in a relationship?
Age matter in a relationship because when we talk about age, it’s all about how
old are we, how much do we know about life, and how mature are we. In a relationship
composed of a young girl/young boy and an older man/women who has an intimate
connection towards one another, age might be a number but it is one of the factor that
might break or make a relationship. As said by studies, older people has higher maturity
level caused by their age and experiences while for the young people, they acquire lower
maturity level than the older individual. They tend to not take things ‘too’ seriously and
only focuses on the idea of love. In a relationship maturity plays a big role, since it
enables couples to speak up more about their problem and feelings towards one another.
According to studies, clashing of opinions can be avoided because people with the same
maturity level mostly agree with each other, on the other hand couples who has a huge
age gap tends to fight a lot and make aggressive decisions. Another thing why age
matter in a relationship is that, when people knows you and your partner has a huge age
difference, they easily can judge you and can affect your relationship since most of us,
even though we say “don’t listen to them”, “they will eventually stop” we cannot hide the
fact that we cannot avoid it all and we don’t how long can we endure all those judgments.
For example for a young girl, she had a relationship to a guy which is twice her age,
people judge you as a slut, whore, social climber and even having a sugar daddy, likewise
to the old man, he can be judge by the society as a man abusing or taking advantage of a
minor and can be filed a case by his partners family. In this generation, we cannot say
that” the most important thing is we love each other and I will accept you” because love
is not the only one that builds a relationship but also understanding, then again, due to
age difference it’s hard to be understanding to your younger partner. In connection with
my stand, according to studies, almost 30 % of people having a relationship to younger
people tends to be cheated on. Since like I said earlier young people tends to find a love
one that is close or same to their age in order to be freer and to escape arguments. In
addition sometimes younger people is confused between true love and parental love.
According to studies, not all young people having an intimate relationship to older person
means he/she loves him/her since sometimes they are only finding parental care and they
want someone to make them feel special which his/her family deprived from him/her.

Another reason why age matter in a relationship is because of their experiences not
only about love but also life. It is understandable that older individual has more learnings
are more responsible that younger individuals. In a relationship part of it is sharing ideas
and experiences towards one another. Example of this is the older part wants to tie the
knot between them since he/she thinks that their ready and it is more essential to be
married as early as possible but the younger person may not be ready since, his/her
excuse is “ I am too young, I have a dream to achieve” . Due to the age difference it is a
factor in decision making about what will happen in a relationship.

Overall, I still commit on my stand that Age Matter in a Relationship because it


can avoid all the said problems that I’ve stated which are; cheating, judgements, mistakes
and of course pain. Even though there is a saying that age doesn’t matter in a relationship,
but in this world full of cruelty we should be aware of what is appropriate thing to do.
Let’s face the reality and be practical. Not only love matter in a relationship, likewise
Age matter because Maturity matters too.
