I believe age is not always just a number. When it comes to a dating relationship, it’s essential to choose your partner intelligently. You are likely to get married to this person. Even with the right person, the age gap between you and your partner can influence the quality of your relationship. So, you should carefully consider its implications for your relationship.
In this episode, I discuss 5 things to consider about age gaps when choosing a partner:
-
Besides the age gap, does the person meet your non-negotiable requirements in a partner? Does God approve of this person for you?
-
How is your friendship with this person?
-
Do you respect each other?
-
Do your life plans and timeline for achieving these plans align?
-
Are you okay with the social implications of choosing this person?
Listen, learn & enjoy!

Amazing. All important points to note. I think number 4 stood out for me. Its important that it is discussed thoroughly. In terms of Career, having Kids, Ministry. Does the timeline align? A relationship should propel you towards achieving your goal better and not the opposite.
Thanks, Pelumi. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
Yeah, I agree that a relationship should make both partners better.
Loved it so much, I knew I would anyways as it’s a very dicey topic that usually has controversial takes.
I agree with all you’ve said, the only added point I have is around finance. The chances are that you might find more security (financial) in olderrrrr people.
If that is a factor you consider in getting married, it needs not be the highest priority cause it’s already rigged by nature of the fact that the the older person has probably had more time to build and amass experience and wealth. Not saying young men and women aren’t as wealthy but for the majority, you’ll find that the older, the more security you might find he/she offers.
The human mind can play tricks on us if we don’t subject it to the Spirit in us. So if you find yourself drifting to people way older than you on the account of having more security. I think you should take a step back and pray and check your motives to avoid making huge decisions on volatile factors like a persons wealth.
Let the factors that drive you to a person transcend just the financial capacity.
Glad you loved it, Rubie. Thanks a lot.😁💛
Oh yes, that’s an excellent addition. Thank you!
