In any mature relationship, the highest priority tends to be how compatible we are with our mate.

Everyone wants to have a partner that makes them feel understood, appreciated and cared for. And it sometimes happens that you find this kind of compatibility with a person you never would have expected. For example, what if the person you love is a decade or two older (or younger) than you are?

While we may think "love conquers all" there are some common issues that couples with wide age gaps face.

Statistics on modern relationships have shown that the majority of people partner with someone who is within three to five years of their own age.

But as our society has become more accepting, we have begun to see ever-increasing age gaps in relationships. It's not uncommon now to see partners with an age difference of ten to fifteen years or even more.

Yeah it does matter...though some pple act more mature than their age whereas a whole lot act immature.
In any case, age compatibility should be considered so as to avoid d modern cinderella story...where an old man marries a young girl who wouldn't stay home and wants to party. D old man works very hard in d day whooping it up in d evening and winding up with her in d night until he has a heart attack in some night club and at d funeral, d young girl looks wonderful in black with crimson touches at d collar stealing d scene. She finally ends up with d man's money nd lives happily ever after...so really age matters

It matters oooo. Getting married to a lady over your age can give a negative effect to the mental well being of your kids
