1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,080 S1: A love language minute. Here's Doctor Gary Chapman on age 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,960 S1: differences in relationships. 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,399 S2: I think it depends on how old you are. You know, 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,880 S2: if you're talking about a 16 year old and a 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,800 S2: 36 or a 46 year old woman, then I think 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,720 S2: it's wrong because that 16 year old is not mature 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,240 S2: enough even to be thinking about marriage. But if you're 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,760 S2: talking about a 36 year old man and a 46 9 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,760 S2: year old woman, then I think that can work. You see, 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,240 S2: it's not so much the difference in the age, it's 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,760 S2: how far along we are in the journey. And if 12 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,919 S2: we're older adults, it's less important. If you're younger, it 13 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,519 S2: becomes more important. I don't think it's sinful. I don't 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,200 S2: think it's anything in the scripture that would say it's 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,639 S2: sinful for an older woman to marry a younger man. 16 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,519 S2: But I do think these are the issues that need 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,400 S2: to be considered. 18 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,559 S1: Doctor Gary Chapman is the author of the best selling book, 19 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,880 S1: The Five Love Languages.
