I agree with the author I don’t think age gap relationships are a problem. If they want to be together let them and leave them alone. There are some age gap relationships that just don’t think is right, it’s when a 25 year old women is married to a 65+ the women are just clearly after the husbands money. My parents were 17 years apart and I never thought anything different till I went to school and told other people some people were shocked while other’s accepted it. So I agree with the author people can either agree with them or totally disagree with them. This is a topic that you could expand a lot on. I do not agree with large age gap relationships I know I wouldn’t want to date someone 30 years older than me, but If I was 60 I probably wouldn’t think anything is wrong. This subject is very controversial and should be talked about, but they will never go away age gap relationships are here to stay. In the end, I liked this reading it gave me a better understanding of age gap relationships and some of the problems and the some of the solutions.
I agree that age gap relationships should not be a big deal but certain gaps can seem very awkward for other people. In high school, I was always told half your age plus 7 was as young as you could go in a relationship but in college and beyond you notice these gaps getting much larger. I think that these people should be allowed to be together if it is consensual. I find the problems with age gap relationships to be similar to the previous issues of same sex and multiracial relationships.
