The critical age difference for relationships revealed

Well-known relationship coach Sedef Salim revealed what age difference can become critical for building harmonious relationships. The expert shared her observations with Metro.

According to Salim, based on her rich professional experience, she noticed a pattern: the greatest communication difficulties arise in couples where the age difference resembles the gap between generations of parents and children. The expert emphasizes that in such cases, partners actually belong to different eras with different values and life experiences. "In these cases, one of the partners may have children from previous marriages who are the same age as the second partner," the specialist explained.

The question of having children becomes particularly acute for such couples. "Does the older partner already have children from previous relationships? Does your partner feel they are at a comfortable and responsible age to start this process again with you? Or, perhaps, your partner's age may affect their fertility?" the coach suggests to consider.

However, Salim notes that even a significant age difference is not a death sentence for relationships. In her opinion, such unions can be quite harmonious if they are built on sincere love and mutual desire to understand each other, despite generational differences.
