age difference 7 yrs - wat do yo say

kalps..do your friend like the boy..what she feels..is only the age the problem...if she thinks he suits her in all the ways then age is no prob.. it depends on the individuals..my opinion is 7yrs is not a big issue..ony look if the boy is good enough for your friend with good heart..

 

no problem at all.. my husband and I have a 7 year age difference and we get along perfectly well..... sometimes the older the guy, the more mature he is..my two cents..

 

It depends on the individuals,I and my hubby have 6 years age difference but totally compatible and have a great relationship:thumbsup..Your friend should get to know the guy better then decide rather than presuming his nature judging by his age.

 

It really depends on what your friend wants. I know plenty of couples who are happily married and have such age difference. Really the compatibility and the personality will matter more.

But leave it to your friend - its ultimately her individual decision.

 

Not necessarily Kalps. Age doesnt determine either maturity or the way a person wants to spend/his life. It is the attitude of the person.

I have read in this very site, that few married men with school going kids, still require their parents to make the decisions for them or follow their parents blindly. So, more age doesnt really translate into more maturity.

Ask your friend to talk to the person and see if she likes his approach to life and his attitude. She is the best judge.

I completely agree with lakshmi. With age nobody matures, but with the right attitude and acceptance only.

6 to 10 years of age difference was acceptable in the previous generation, but at the present decade atleast, its better to be just upto a max of 5 years and certainly not beyond that. Due to changing globalisation and technical developments, the mind set of people of with less age difference will also be the same.

I would say 7 years is way too big a gap in the present circumstances and not advisable.

With age even stones mature...

My preference would be the same age or one or two years difference...
but if the guy is a perfect match(?)..who cares?

 

Not necessary that more the age difference the matured they are ! My hubby is 22 days older to me, now does that make him wiser than me ?? No.

We are good in our own ways ! THere are no set rules that a wife or a husband need to pocess these qualities at any cost, as far as both of them have mutual respect / love and would love to do anything and everything to keep the same going.

Similarly, an aunt and uncle of mine have a age difference of 11 years. They look wonderful as a couple and have grown old beautifully ! The childless couple set a fine example as to spouse / their happiness is what matters. They dont care about the rest.

If your friend has preconceptions as such, she must simply go by what she thinks.. Better for you to just support her about what she wants to do and why she wants to do, just hear her out. If you try reasoning out with her and let us say, she does agree to you, her mind wouldnt accept the suggestion 100%.. Any issue be it regardless of the age, will make her wondering only on those lines. So, let her speak up and you could be a good listener.
