There are pros and cons about the age gap. The age difference doesn’t play a significant role in a western culture, however, it does in Asian countries, especially in Korea. When there is an informal social gathering, it is customary in Korea that a senior person usually treats participants unless there is a pre-arranged way of payment. Cons are that you are refrained from expressing your ideas or opinions freely to your seniors. In many cases, you do not dare to talk back to your seniors even if you have reasonable reasons to do that. When it comes to the relationship in a couple, the age gapped relationships tend to be harder than relationships that include people around the same age because the couple must deal with the critisizem of others. However, age gap relationships can and do work. The issue is not necessarily the ages of the couple, but how they are willing to deal with important issues such as their motives for being together and their goals in life.

Hello again, Sir [이름]!

I\'m surprised! You did a lot of essays today.

Thank you so much.

I agree with the last sentence that you wrote.

Their goals and motives for being together is more important than anything else.

They might encounter difficulties, but those hardships will make their relationship stronger.

I know people who have are in this situation and they are really happy. ^^

Have a great day.
