Publication Date: April 9, 1993

How to enjoy a fulfilling relationship with an older or younger partner.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This older-man/younger-woman couple attempts to dispel myths about such "May-December" pairs but mostly repeats standard, even banal, advice. Cliches like "playing old tapes" and "I needed to be me" occur, as do more serious flaws: Prenuptial agreements are seen as predicting failure while honesty without limits is touted until the chapter on sex, where there is a (welcome) caveat on sharing too much about fantasies, former partners, and negative feelings. People cited in examples often have histories of poor judgment, detracting from the reader's confidence in their celebration of an "age different" relationship. The upbeat tone and some examples help the authors' worthy cause, but the bulk of the book will, at best, confirm the beliefs of the already converted. Not recommended.

This review is from: Age Different Relationships: Finding Happiness with an Older or Younger Love (Paperback)

This is an upbeat self-help book without index, references or statistics. It seems directed at those already in such relationships. Negative aspects are dealt with on the assumtion that the commitment has already been made. The style is readable and colloquial with many anecdotes and examples,insights based on personal experience, and practical advice based on personal experience. It should prove useful to its intended audience.

That is important to love each other who matter older or younger. The child who was very young, begin to crushed her or his teacher or neighbor or relations or staff. When older men love young ladies or young men love older ladies. Most important is personal of relationship.
