There are so many people you can fall in-love with if you allow yourself too. So think about the age difference and pray about it. Do you really want to marry someone 12-20 years older then you? When you are 40 or 50 they have be as old as 60 or 70. You may have to be their nurse and take care of them while you are still young. If you have children with that person they will miss out on their other parent being there for them. It could cause a heart and hardship.

I dont think so, if both of you were mentally, physically, spiritually and financially aware of what you two are doing and ofcourse you love each other it doesnt matter...

My opinion is that  age matters.  The difference in age may not be too apparent in the beginning of the relationship.  But in a few years both people will realize they do not have friends or interests in common.  No one really wants to be married to "grandpa" or "grandma".   There should not be too many years of age difference.

The most important characteristic is that both people are committed Christians and committed to raising their family in the precepts of God's Word. However, with that said, I believe, the greater difference in age there is between a man and a woman, the greater probability that there will be more misunderstandings or conflicts just because one has had more life experience than the other. It almost would seem to me like a teacher-student relationship which, in some ways, is much like all relationships because partners will switch those roles and teach each other and learn from each other (of course the Greatest Teacher being God in the relationship) and it's mutually beneficial without one partner relying solely on the other to make important decisions or referring to him or her whenever there is a problem. One thing I must say is that "love" (what the world thinks is love) does NOT conquer all. Just because two people might think that the strong emotions they have for each other can cover over significant differences or gaps they have between them, doesn't mean that it is enough to sustain a meaningful relationship. Real love comes from God because God IS love.

Significant differences in age can prove to be a liability in marriage. This is so because at each step of the life cycle our needs are different. However I would say again that WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! When both partners commit the relationship in Him and continue to grow in faith together, am sure the marriage' ups and downs can be bearable! God, Who is the source of great and unconditional love, love at all times, at all costs and at all circumstances! And He is the same God Who makes it possible for us to love without conditions when we commit to Him our everything!
