Does Love Know Age Or Is It Timeless?

Many people deny that they think love knows age, but are quite strict about this in their own search for a partner.

This is because we still have all kinds of prejudices that make us believe things like ‘ If he gets a few years older, he’ll be an old man’ or ‘What will happen when reality shakes us up?’

In reality, there’s no reason to be afraid of getting into a relationship with someone a few years younger or older than you. The best thing you can do is just let your heart guide you.

Are you concerned about what others will say?

Sometimes the relationship breaks down for very different reasons than the age of both partners, such as the disbelief that the relationship ever had a chance of success.  That’s what society and your friends tell you. And even though you may prefer not to admit it, the opinions of others have influenced you a lot.

Why do we always think at the beginning of our relationship that everything will be okay?

In the first weeks or months of a relationship, everything is easier, when our idealization and our expectations carry us into a dream world.

This is the stage where anything is possible. However, when we then take off our rose-colored glasses, we begin to ponder, “ What will others say?”

Even if you don’t want to admit it, there are all kinds of worries running through your mind.

1. When he is older, one day you will have to take care of him

This is one of the first thoughts that go through our minds in situations like this. While you can also have a relationship with someone who is about the same age as you and can become responsible for him for the rest of your life as a result of, for example, a car accident.

The only difference is that one situation is the result of an accident and the other comes about naturally. Should this make any difference when it comes to issues in love?

2. He is more mature than you

Remember, the number of birthdays you’ve had doesn’t determine how mature you are. A 40-year-old can still be very immature, while a 20-year-old can be extremely mature. Age is just a number and says nothing about one’s maturity.

3. He will stop being attracted to you at some point.

Be careful! Physical attraction is important, but true love is based on much more than just attraction. In the end, we will all lose most of our outer beauty.

However, if someone loves you for who you are, it doesn’t matter. He is in love with you inside. The outside is just packaging that will begin to wear out over time.

Love only knows age if you give it an age

Finally, we come to the conclusion that love only knows age if you give it an age yourself. If you allow yourself to be guided by prejudices and beliefs that do not have to be true at all.

Think about all the times you’ve said ‘opposites attract’. While this may be true for some couples, it may not have worked out so well for others.

We must try to free ourselves from the beliefs that keep us from experiencing pure, healthy and natural love.  Love only knows age if you think it is, an age determined by one’s physical condition and health.

At the same time, what is really important is actually underestimated and minimized: love in its fullest form.

It doesn’t matter if a 20-year-old falls in love with a 40-year-old (or older). What matters is that these two people are happy with each other and love each other.

What awaits us tomorrow?

No one knows, but we can all be sure that everything will come to an end one day. An age difference doesn’t have to mean the end of a relationship.

If it were, people who are close in age would be more likely to stay together (and obviously they aren’t).

Making sure love knows age only puts restrictions and conditions on her before she even had a chance to show up and maybe change your mind.  Love is fluid, unexpected, it surprises us and allows us to expand our minds.

Don’t restrict her or try to stop her if she doesn’t appear the way you expected or if she doesn’t look the way you imagined.

Believing that love knows age is like saying that it has an end date, when in fact it could be an experience that lasts a lifetime, against all odds, beautifully brash.
