Do you agree that true love overcomes all obstacles? If so, do you consider age to be one of these obstacles? There are many people in the world who have lasting and meaningful relationships with partners much older than them. On the other hand, if you have strong feelings for someone, it doesn't matter if they are 30 or 50 years old - what matters is love. Yet an age difference in a couple is still seen, at least in some cases, as a taboo subject. Not to mention the related prejudices: if he is much older, one immediately thinks of a relationship of convenience, while if she is older, there seems to be something "wrong". The truth is that "the heart cannot be rules" and most of the time the explanation is simpler than you think: people just fall in love.

These 15 couples all have a pretty big age difference, but they all seem very happy with their choices!
