If you know in your heart that he's the man for you, then be content in that. It doesn't matter what the world says, but, rather what you know.
I am 24 years old. I have "dated" younger than I (one year). I have gone out with a man 10 years older, but wouldn't be in relationship with someone 7 years older than I.
There's a tremendous gap in years beyond that...our experience will be far different (as if there aren't enough things that need to be learned in a new relationship)...and then to have the years between us...it's just not good.
I think that people should really know a lot about themselves when they enter into relationships with someone else. Before you enter into relationship, you should be complete and not look to someone else (other than the Lord) for completion, for in the Lord we are made perfect.
But I do have a question about this age thing...what are those who actively seek out persons who are many times older/younger looking for? Are they trying to seek out an authority figure or someone to dominate? And if that's the basis (and you would need to examine yourself hard on this one), then why are you seeking that man/woman (since we have brethren on the forum) to make you whole? Please know that you will always come out the "shorty" when you look for wholeness outside of the One who can make you whole?
Okay, I know that I've said a mouthful. I look forward to reading your insightful replies.
