What would be a maximum age difference for marriage?

A friend of mine has been dating his girlfriend for a year now. He is 29 and she is 19. They are the most compatible couple I have ever seen and are about to get married. Their families have been family friends for ever too. What do you guys think?What would be a maximum age difference for marriage?
Ten years is pretty big, but they are both adults, if it works for them so be it.What would be a maximum age difference for marriage?
I think thats an ok time distance inbetween them. I mean, atleast the guy is the older one, because when the girl is a lot older, then the guy is usually still really immiture and the marrage a lot of times doesn't work out.
As long as they are both adults. She seems a bit young though. He might have problems if she decides to go through a party-girl phase.
My fiance and I are 11 years apart and we have not had any problems with the age difference. We love one another for who we are, the soul is eternal it has no age. The only problems with age we had was discouragement from others in the beginning, but not any longer everyone has accepted us as a couple.
I think compatibility is the most important thing! as far as maximum age difference I think it really depends on the age of the youngest person involved in the relationship if it was 16 and 26 I would have more concerns if it was 19 and 29 I would probable spend more time observing the relationship it self before forming an opinion if it was 30 and 40 I would not even consider it
18 yrs here. It works for us.
whatever the couple is comfortable with.
For me, I'd say 10-15 years but it depends on the ages of the individuals. A 40 and 50 yr old, not such a big deal. A 19 and 29 yr old - I'd be a little apprehensive. You go thru a LOT of changes in your early 20's. Even with that said, if I were to know your friend I would not discourage him from getting married. Sometimes you have to just jump in and see and it's not like the met on the internet 3 weeks ago - it's a legit relationship.
My personal limit was always 10 years difference. They seem fine with it.
Love is ageless
Age really shouldn't matter, it's the strength of the relationship and the happiness of the couple in it that matter..
she - at least 30, he - healthy enough to know what he is doing. Healthy in his head I mean (smile). The younger partner should have child or children if they cant have them together. It is very difficult to give up something (like not having kids) if you dont know what you are giving up. Other than that, no limits basically. However, I dont know really. I am madly in love with someone over 20 years older than me so I cant be objective.
1/2 + 7 is good. For example a 40 year old can go with a 27 year old.
I've always had a personal rule that I wouldn't date anyone who was 10 years older than me or more.. but each person is different. If it works for them - then great!
Well I hate those really young b**ches with those really old 88 year old men who are about to die and just happen to have a billion dollar fortune, but no, its LOVE.
10 years is nothing if the get along. However 19 is far too young for her to get married
I think, eew. She's too young to get married and he's way too old to be dating a teenager.
Age is just a number. If it works for them I'm all for it. Although personally, I'd wonder why a 28 year old guy would be going after 18 year old girls.... but thats just me.
Actually thats the exact age diffrence between my fiance and I so I dont find anything wrong with it.
You say they're the most compatible couple you've seen. They're families are friends and no issue with it. They, themselves, have no issue with it. What's the problem? Age is a number of years, not a measurement for maturity.
I dated a guy that was 10 years older than me, and he acted like he was 10 years YOUNGER than me. It really depends on the couple's similarities (in like what a lot of other posts that people have put up already). But the reason why we didn't work out is because he had no goals in life, and was happy skimping by while I was in college and had all these big plans. So there is a bigger difference between a 19 and 29 year old, but the difference closes up more for a 49 and 59 year old.
I think happiness doesn't have an age boundary, if two people are of age and in love then they should go for it.
there are a few keys things that make a couple supposedly mre likely to work out:





similar education


similar social status


similar attractiveness


similar ethnicity


similar age





for some reason people really focus on the age thing - i think if they are compatible in lots of other ways, that's the most important thing. 9 years difference for me and my guy.
