5 REASONS WHY AGE DOES NOT REALLY MATTER IN RELATIONSHIPS


When the issue of age is mentioned in relationship it often raises eyebrows. The judgements and criticisms of people can always be the loud voices a person could be scared of. So, there is every tendency for people to be scared when the age question pops up. But the truth is that while people’s opinions are often helpful, the onus will always be on you to make your choice of partner and also your decision to forge ahead with whoever you decide to date regardless of age.
Here are five (6) reasons why I feel age does not really matter in a relationship:
  1. MATURITY IS MORE IMPORTANT:
Age is not a real measure of a person’s responsiveness to the demands of relationship, maturity is. It is not their age, but their maturity in handling issues borne out of their understanding of what relationship is all about is what should matter. You can’t assume that a 40 year-old is more mature than a 25 year-old. The truth is that some younger people tend to show a level of maturity above their age that makes them look like grown-ups, while some older people act like little kids that this might want to make you want to question their sense of reasoning. Don’t date people because of their age, but because they are sensible, purposeful, values-oriented and possess strength of character to lead you aright.
  1. AGE DOESN’T SOLVE RELATIONSHIP ISSUES:
Some bitter truths are that age doesn’t pay bills or does it guarantee an offense-free relationship. Dating someone who is older or younger doesn’t mean your relationship will be all rosy, but the key is finding the person that compliments you. Someone you can understand and can also understand you as well. Someone that can communicate your love languages and also make you feel good about being in love and in relationship.
  1. COMMITMENT IS ABOUT MENTALITY NOT AGE:
Another reason age should not really matter in making your choice of partner in a relationship is the fact that it does not guarantee commitment. People don’t make commitment in relationships that eventually lead to marriage just because of age, but it is more of a mentality issue. A person at 25 can understand the essence of commitment better than a person at 40, and vice versa. So, the key is in weighing the motives, intentions and mentality of people who show interest in you in order to know the right person for your life.
Share your thoughts on this and look forward to the three remaining reasons.
