Since age does not equal maturity and intelligence, I don't think it matters to an extent, just make sure she is in your peer group. age is nothing but a number.

Not really, however, please stay away from under age kids, it is not good and do unto others what you want to be done to.

Overtime I've been in the midst of people arguing about this topic
They all give reasons for taking whatever stance they take.
Some of the reasons are

A woman that is older than the husband would not respect the husband, especially when she is not so dependent on the husband (i.e she works or has something doing)

Others argue that no matter how much older she is than the man, if she really loves him she would respect him irrespective of whether she depends on him or not

Some guys would say they want ladie quite younger than them say 8 to 10 years gap.
They claim women grow older faster than the men and as such they would want there wives to look quite younger than them as the years passes by.

Some guys also say that it is better for the man to die first than for the woman
If the man is older there is tendency he will die first and as such the woman would be the better one to take care of the children. (Less likelihood of remarrying for women)

Some feel less age gap (between 1-5) years, it puts them in the same kind of setting, and its easier for them to understand themselves.

I really do not see anything wrong with the age thing in relationship because I really do think age is a thing of the mind. There are some 30 year old guys that some 22 year old girl would not think of dating because to them they are immature.

So it really does depend on the people involved.

it does matter but not a focal point,ill say the guy shouldnt be more than 12 years older than the woman or else theres a chance she might be pushing his wheel chair having said that i think you r as old as you feel and a woman can marry a younger man as well if she s willing to compromise and doesnt have a hang up about most things

Age doesn't matter, what really matters is Love, if the Girl Loves the Guy, she would respect him, If the Guy really Loves the girl, he would treat her right.
