What age difference is perfect for marriage

When it comes to marriage, do age differences really matter or should love prevail over all? What has age got to do with who you fall in love with and get married to?

Traditionally, the standard match is when you find a wife who is about 3 or 4 years younger than you. While this phenomenon is accepted widely, it is also proven to be successful, as the couple is known to grow up together, grow old together, face similar situations and challenges at similar points of time in their life together, make for a compatible husband-wife duo and follow, in a way, the laws of nature.

A woman is often attracted to a man much older than her in years and often sees in him the qualities of a father-figure. However unrealistic this may appear, such marriages are often seen to work. Whilst the man sees a more energetic and adaptable wife in the woman, she is likely to look up to the man and ensure a perfect balance in the marriage.

Marrying a woman of the same age or one who is a little older has its own pros and cons too. Such a marriage ensures that the wife belongs to the same level of maturity and shares responsibilities, liabilities and challenges equally with you. She is also more capable of walking shoulder to shoulder and offer guidance, support and advice as necessary.

What binds such a relationship together? Perhaps the level of experience and maturity the woman brings, along with the calm, composure and tolerance sprinkled in by the man.

There can be no rules in the game of love. When two hearts meet and decide to follow a path in unison, all forms of convention seem to blur. Verdict? Age difference matters. It certainly does. How much, is for a couple to decide.
