Mature people often teach the young generation about relationships with the opposite sex. At the same time, they do not take into account that each age has its own tasks, its own life experience, and its own psychological characteristics. Young people, on the other hand, judge adults from their own position. Of course, there is no absolute norm and criteria for how relationships are built between people of a certain age, but there are general trends that still need to be taken into account.
Young Love
The tasks of boys and girls in adolescence (from 15-16 to about 20 years old) are to learn to be friends, to build close ties. They need authorities that are not parents, belonging to their own kind, learning new things, and experimenting. This also manifests itself in sexual relationships. Their sexuality is just awakening. But boys and girls can be friends without getting into each other’s panties, and for this age, this is the norm.
Love in Youth
At about 20 years old, a strong reproductive instinct activates the body’s active production of hormones that are responsible for attraction to the opposite sex. Therefore, at a young age, it is so easy to fall in love and succumb to passion. At the same time, the rational wise mind has not yet had time to take shape, because it is formed in the process of life experience. Therefore, rationality does not hinder spontaneity, both boys and girls at this age fall in love and marry under the power of feelings.
Mature Love
Closer to 35 years of age comes mature love. If people have kept their families, often the relationship has long been simply kinship, without passion. Sometimes relationships come to mutual dislike, and people carry the burden of marriage for a long time, not daring to divorce. Only a few people after ten or more years of marriage reach a new level of relationship when love can really be called mature, between two psychologically adult people. Such love is not as crazy and scorching as the love and passion of youth, but it is very deep and hot.
Love in Old Age
After 50 years, when the children have already flown out of the nest, people come to themselves, start looking around in search of their new place in life. They have already closed their social debts, they do not need to fight for survival, they are financially independent. And then they can find this place in new interests, travel, as well as new love. This love can be as free and spontaneous as in youth, but at the same time, it is wise enough.
