People have varying opinions about the importance of age when it comes to relationships. Some think it’s better for couples to be closer in age while others think age is just a number.
I understand arguments for both sides. Ultimately, I think it depends on the individual couple. The younger person in the relationship could be very mature or the older person could be immature. I also think things like morals, goals, and life plans are more important than age. Here are 10 celebrity couples who prove that age can be just a number:
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
At 48, Pitt is 11 years older than the 37-year-old Jolie.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
The 42-year-old Carey is 11 years older than her 31-year-old husband.

I think love is ageless but it can matter in terms of childbearing. There’s ways around that too. I’m three years older than my husband but the way he acts sometimes makes me forget haha.
I’m surprised you didn’t add David Cross & Amber Tamblyn since they got married this weekend.

maybe it depends on the frame. like after 22 years of existence it’s okay to go with any age older. but under than that, 3 or 5 years older is the limit. but that’s probably just me.

I don’t think J. Lo and Casper should be on there. I still feel Casper’s using her to get his name out..
I think Ice T and Coco are a really great example for age being nothing but a number.. They’re 21 years apart.

@RachelO - Oh ok! I see it now~! Thanks
The other comp I was using didnt load all the pics (I hate that damn thing). Did you see their wedding pictures? Amber wore a yellow dress! I’m not a fan of the color but it looked fantastic on her!! ^^
@Samantha Cowan@facebook - @pick_my_friggin_nose@xanga - Yeah, I dont think they’re in it for the long run either. Something feels off to me about them. To me, it seems like JLo is trying to hard to be her young, 90s self again you know? That was when she was good to me. I dont like any of her new stuff….I miss Jenny from the Block! After Rebirth, she went down to me.

How did Jennifer Lopez make it onto a list of relationships that “work?”

I agree with what most people said here, but I think there needs to be a cutoff point.
If a 19 year old marries an 80 year old, chances are they aren’t in it for the sex…
Personally for me though, I wouldn’t date anyone younger than 17, (I’m 18). I think 16 year olds (and younger) aren’t fully mentally developed yet…at least, I wasn’t when I was that age, and that was only two years ago, haha.

My boyfriend is 13 years older than me and we’ve been together for 3 years. It depends on your goals and priorities.
