I believe age is not always just a number. When it comes to a dating relationship, it's essential to choose your partner intelligently. You are likely to get married to this person. Even with the right person, the age gap between you and your partner can influence the quality of your relationship. So, you should carefully consider its implications for your relationship. In this episode, I discuss 5 things to consider about age gaps when choosing a partner: 1. Besides the age gap, does the person meet your non-negotiable requirements in a partner? Does God approve of this person for you? 2. How is your friendship with this person? 3. Do you respect each other? 4. Do your life plans and timeline for achieving these plans align? 5. Are you okay with the social implications of choosing this person? Listen, learn & enjoy!
