AGE DIFFERENCES AND IT'S POSSIBLE EFFECTS ON RELATIONSHIP( by kwin neemah)
It is commonly accepted that most men prefer the company of younger women and most women prefer the company of older men.
Men are generally attached to women who advertise sings of fertility. I.e YOUTH
Controversially, women are drawn to older men since they typically have greater resources .
Men prefers to marry someone gas young had 5 years than them.
They believe they will be more respectful in a relationship.
Women also prefer to marry someone older than them with 5 years. They believe that they will be more experienced than them and have the zeal and what it takes to maintain a happy family.
Whereas, it is NOT supposed to be like that.
Why?
Take a look at this:-
Does it matter when a woman is older than the husband?
It does not mean that they will not have a happy relationship together.
Understanding
Love
Commitment
Willingness
This are what matters most in a relationship that one half is way older than the other half
Especially when the woman is older than the man.
There are many couples out there who are happily enjoying their relationship simply because they have kept the age difference a secret from everyone that is not necessary to know about it.
When a lady voice out to a friend that someone she is dating and planning to marry is older that her, that is when the problem starts.
Humans thinks differently.
My own turn on might be a big turn off for someone else.
The friend will start advising the lady in question that the guy won't have the mentality to run a successful relationship.
Whereas, her herself don't have a successful relationship. She can't keep a man. All she can do is to criticise the ones that her happy and look for fault in their stars.
That is where most ladies get it all wrong, they will forfeit their happiness just because of something their friends said about age difference in relationships.
They will always tell themselves that it won't work out because of the age difference while trying very hard to fight the feelings and affection they have for the man. Which might kater cost them something bigger than they could simply handle.
Here are 4 things to consider:-
1, Maturity
A man might be younger that the wife but he definitely can be matured than her.
Study how he talks
How he addresses situation, how he handles it
His view of life has it is
His future plans.
You will deduce that he is way older that his actual age.
2, Understand your reasons
Before you begin a relationship with someone much older or younger than you, it is very important to make a careful assessment of your motivations.
LOVE HAS NO ARE!!!
But if you fate people from different generation, it just might reveal something about your approach to relationships.
It might be that you're just looking for a parental figure in your partner to take care of you in all aspects of life.
3, Know how to handle Criticism
People will surely see something wrong in what you're doing.
With Family and Friends, the best you can do is to make an effort to make them understand by explaining to them why you're in love with the person and not with his or her age.
4, Don't Harp on Age Differences
Although age differences can create some challenges in your relationship, focusing too much on age can backfire. While you need to be understanding of generational differences , attributing every disagreement to your partner’s age can leave you both feeling self-conscious and misunderstood. If you frequently tell your partner his or her age doesn’t matter, your partner might end up feeling like age is a significant issue, or even that you’re in the relationship specifically because of the age difference.
DON'T LET AGE DOMINATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND ADDRESS IT ONLY WHEN IT IS TRULY RELEVANT AND INEVITABLE.
