He is sixty, she is thirty-five. They are getting married. Age doesn’t matter. She is fifty, he is thirty-nine. They are getting married. Age doesn’t matter. Of course the age gap when you are in your in childhood does matter. However, age does matter in how you approach life.

You will expect to approach life full of energy when you are in your youth. You are active in sport, you are studying well and when you are employed you are disciplined in your work environment as embark on your career. With age you slowly withdraw from being the superstar on the sports field but you remain active because you enjoy it. You have pursued some postgraduate studies and focus on shorter courses now because of time constraints and you want to fine tuning your skills. You have made progress in your career and accomplished much, nay all, of what you set out to do.

Some are reading this with regret because it did not all go this way. Regret though is the worst thing anyone can engage in. You cannot turn back the clock, but you can look at your birth certificate and realise your age. Age does matter. However, the solution to your challenge begins here. There are solutions and it starts with setting goals. An awesome challenge now is to find youth and inspire them to new heights for this is your penance. You yourself continue to find ways to grow so that you may yet make a more than meaningful contribution to others. In so doing, you will yet leave a legacy. Age does matter and this is always the right age to do something which is appropriate for your age.

Marry younger person or marry an older person – age does not matter. Age matters when you want to make the most of your precious life and you need to take on the challenges that are age appropriate. There are exceptions of course that have energy beyond out imagination, but we always generalise and then fine tune.
