Love Context: Age doesn't Matter

Hello, this is your Angel, Thain. Again, this is one of those past essays I wrote, probably when I was still in high school. This one is entitled "Age doesn't matter." Happy reading. 

Relationships these days have gone so far to even upgrade their standards. Or is it society that tells us so? You can't say or do anything legitimate without being chastised by some and judged by all. In other words, your actions are being monitored. Anomalies sprang, and eventually the customs were twisted.

Age is another factor that may have brought spectators onto the line. For some, this word comes with a curse, which makes it appear more intriguing, especially when relationships are the trend. But is it really wrong for us to judge an 18-year-old girl who's dating a 29-year-old boy? Does age really matter? ...

Age is just a number; maturity is what really matters in a relationship." -Annette Szproch

Many of those shocked by Szproch's statement were And whether we admit it or not, not everyone agrees with it, but somehow it's true. There are 20-year-old people who act like they're 15. And there are some 15-year-olds who decide like an old man. Thus, in psychology, it was found that a man thinks 5 years younger than his age while a woman thinks 5 years older than her age. 

And there are times when this seems evident. However, I still agree that your maturity isn't being determined by your age but by your experience, as has been said by Ziad Abdelnour. Since we all have unique kinds of life, we should therefore be aware that we ought to have distinct experiences that may seem different from others.

Love and happiness should be the only determining factors when it comes to entering into a relationship, not age. All relationships must be governed by love, as the saying goes, "Love conquers all". Maybe couples like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham, who have a 20-year age gap, might agree with me when I say that everything begins with love. After all, we are imbued with the notion that love must be the reason why we fall for someone, why we confess and why we marry.

However, when it comes to marriage, things like bills, parenting, principles, and morals should also be discussed between couples. As the elderly say, marriage isn't a joke. It is not happiness at all. Vows dictate that a couple must stay together even in the hardest times. In sickness and in health, in wealth and in poverty, this should be fulfilled till death do couples apart. 

Every couple's struggle remains the same for everybody; it isn't limited to those who have the same age. Both sides can argue about jealousy, violence, being irrational and dominance. The only difference it would make is how these two rise above it all. Perhaps those of the same age are more likely to divorce, or vice versa. There are also couples who are of the same age who tend to click together because they have the same wavelength. same level of understanding and take on things. 

Relationships are necessary. Even in ecology, we've talked about the various levels of relationship that each organism has. In the social context, this could be indicated mainly as the starting point of living the next chapter of one's life. But note that not everybody who starts with an unmatched piece always ends up the loneliest. Maybe for some, age really matters, but for me it doesn't. Relationships are driven by love, and no age can define a person's ability to love, considering, of course, that one really feels love, not lust, or attraction.
