Many local and international celebrities who are in relationships are no stranger to &lsquo;age gap relationships.&rsquo; This kind of relationship pertains to couples who have an age gap of 10 years or more. Some of these celebrity couples are Maris Racal and Rico Blanco with a 24-year age gap, Coco Martin and Julia Montes with a 12-year age gap, and the recently wedded couple, Charlie Dizon and Carlo Aquino who are 11 years apart.
A lot of people typically don&rsquo;t mind having a few years apart from their significant other. However, there are seemingly more individuals who prefer larger age gaps these days. Regardless of years apart, does having an age gap really matter when venturing into love? Like any other relationship, you must consider different factors on why a relationship would or would not work.
Numerous individuals enjoy having these age gaps with their partners because there&rsquo;s always something to learn from the other person. An older person might give more wisdom and life advice while the younger one reintroduces youth and a fresher perspective to the older person&rsquo;s life.
Keep in mind that given the age gap, both people in these kinds of relationships are in different life cycles hence it is most likely that you&rsquo;ll face conflict. When placed in distinct developmental stages, it is understood that both of you will have differences in coping with problems and challenges.
If you find yourself experiencing power dynamics and being shunned by your older partner, communicate clearly about how you feel in your situation. Don&rsquo;t excuse your age as the sole reason for your clashing.&nbsp;
To finish, regardless of if you&rsquo;re in an age gap relationship or not, ensure that there&rsquo;s a good balance and space in your relationship. Nevertheless, for relationships who do participate in the age gap situation, gain the great learning experiences and new perception of each other but don&rsquo;t forget to live your own pace.&nbsp;
