Age differences in relationships

Is there a point at which relationships don't realistically work due to age differences? If so, what is the gap in years?
0-5 yrs
5-10 yrs
10-15 yrs
15-20 yrs
20-25 yrs
25-30 yrs

Hi All responders, yes, these are the types of responses I was expecting, but I was hoping people would delve deeper into this issue and be more open.

For example, if your partner was 20 years younger than you things like important moments in world history that you remember, music tastes and artists, favourite movies etc will all be different.... can love conquer this? What if one partner ceases to be sexually active while the other still desires? does that spell disaster?

well there is a saying that "LOVE CONQUERS ALL!!!!!! but at some point ,age will matter because if there is a big differenced in age ,this will create a big issues in likes and dislikes i think because your born in two different era so that can hurt the compatibility and intimacy between couples.I have a friend who married a 79 yrs old man and shes only 23 and they are having all kinds of problems with their marriage because she`s just now blooming and hes already declining(sex that is lol)this is just an example kaibigan ok, have a good one and nice blog btw!!!!!!!!!!

me and my hubby we got 20 years of gap im 27 and he is 47 we got no problems sometimes arguments but its natural to a couples.. as for me age is not problems at all, the most important is that you both love each other, trust, respect and terms of making love it wont be a problems as long as the couples are open to what style they want and can satisfisy them not only to one person communication is the key word....

peaceeee

For me, age matters. There are both its pros and cons. a small age diff would give you something in common. and physically compatibility too. If you have a 20yrs age gap and assuming the woman is only 30 yrs old, a 50 yr old man would have a hard time coping up with some physical activities (I just don't mean sex here), like sports and he wouldn't be more passionate in doing things as a young man can. From there, misunderstandings would arise and you realize the incompatibility that a big age gap can bring.

Marie45 speaking as a 47 year young man, you can find inactive and lazy men and women of all ages. Personally I am stronger now than I was when I was 20 and smarter with a much greater appreciation for life.

very far away age-gap...

i think if u really fallen to a guy (normally 70 not impossible but who knows??? some women´s like older than them coz of many reason´s....for example when a girl lose a father at the very young age-she might look for older one coz shes looking for father image or so-sorry guys...
or she get easily attracted of this kind of guys. although they have many valid reasons´,

why people settle down? 1) may be for love 2) for companionship 3) security 4) dont want to be alone-?

this is the reality may be-

but if you really in love-age doesnt matter really...

Love, Peace and Freedom in the World!

It is all about being open to new things always.Learning about the younger crowd,like what you are doing now learning about a different culture.What you have to offer her in the way of experience is great knowledge to share.People can really feed on one another in many beneficial ways,as long as they always keep an open mind and are willing to learn. As far as the sex goes well you must always understand the needs of an individual there are many way to please a woman,even if you cannot get it up just be open to new technology.

for me age doesnt matter if only 10 years gap..but if 20 years or more?. i think theres a lot of disadvantages when the woman is too young and the man is very old even they love each other too much

haha...so this is Mario speaking. For a while, you got me confused. Yes, wisdom comes with age. I, myself, am ore confident than I was 20 years ago.
