What do you understand by the word "AGE CAP," and when can we say there is one in a relationship?
The word "AGE CAP" is the age in which someone is older than the other. Age cap can be found in any relationship. In every relationship, families, work place etc age cap is involved.
In a relationship, I can say that there is one when a partner is older than the other partner not to be compare with his/ her father age. Using my close neighbor as a example, he was 26year of age got married to a white woman which people suggested the age of that woman to fall between 71-79years of age. You can see the age cap difference between both of them.
Do you think the age gap is a problem in a relationship?
To be honest I will say No. Age cap will not be a problem in a relationship. What causes most of the problem in a relationship is lack of understanding and maturity. Although money is involved but sometimes money is not the problem but the spouse refuses to understand the don't and do's of another spouse causes the problem. Anyone can be in a relationship that the age cap will be far above another person imagination, yet they live happily and peacefully but another can be in a relationship of his/her choice age cap, yet problem upon problem. So in essence, I don't think age cap is a problem in a relationship.
Does the Age gap really have a way of affecting relationships? Explain and give some examples.
This question carries both Yes and No answers. In life, is either you will be affected positively or negatively.
Yes in the sense that age cap will affect you when you are in the relationship that bother you all the time. No peace of mind, only portraiting a good look and attitude for outside people to know and assume that you are fine but inside you, you know that you are dieing even when you don't lack anything, yet you are not happy. Good example is the Senator Ned Nworke and Actress Regina Daniel. Another good example is Footballer Achraf Hakimi and Hiba Abouk, Who separated. They have money, they are rich but yet the age cap affect the relationship negatively.
No in the sense that age cap will not affect relationship when there's a maturity mindset. Maturity is very important in any relationship. When both spouse mature enough to think the same way that they are one, have the same mindset, not thinking that the one who is younger is Insulting him/her instead is a correction!, when I don't blame you because I accepted to marry my grandfather or grandma doesn't come in when argument arouses, when they move and play freely among themselves because of having maturity minds, then the age cap will affect the relationship positively.
Is there any age you are not comfortable with? If your partner has such a gap above you,
Yes, there is. Am not comfortable with the age cap of 16years and above. From this age, if am in any relationship for instance, I will be like am your maid even if there's love and care, I will not be able to communicate most things with you without having a thought of how you may react. Sometimes, I will be afraid to play with you. I will also feel shy when going out together because of what people may say. So I prefer age cap from 15years below to 6years above my age.
What should be the normal age gap in a relationship?
In opinion, I think the normal age gap suitable for a relationship should be from 10 years - 15 years. Reason being that naturally, most women grows like a mushroom. If the age cap is not much different then the woman will be like as if she is older than the man but when there's a big cap, both of them will look like a brother and sister.
Am glad you read to the end. I invite @vudeme123, @Smarticious, @oasiskp to participate.
I totally agree with you in this area you mentioned which is lack of understanding between partners. Indeed lack of understanding each other really affects relationship to the highest level then age gap. Thanks for providing this educating opinion and well organized article. I wish you success.

Accepting to marry someone that is older than a person doesn't come in when argument arouses, when they move and play freely among themselves and because of the matured mindset of both of them,it will affect the relationship positively.A very nice writeup maturity is needed for many relationship to workout well,i wish you goodluck in this contest.
