Should you go for what your heart says or go for what your head tells you ?

7 to 9 years is a big gap when couples are young. It's less of a big gap when couples are older. What's important is how both either man and woman feel about each other. But if you guys are young, you should realize that someone who is 7 to 9 years younger than you is living in a different world than you are. Everything changes every year when you're young. I'm sure you remember.The fact is that there are plenty of examples of age disparities in couples working out. My own parents are 10 years apart and have been married for over 50 years now. I know another couple married over fifty years who is 13 years apart. Having said that, 7 to 9 years is a long time when you're young. I would consider accepting someone a little bit if he's up for that to see how we work out together. But hold off on doing anything significant (either physically or in terms of moving in or uprooting each other's lives, etcetera). Just proceed with caution and make sure you both understand what you're getting into.
