Age Differences. Do they matter in LGBTQ Relationships?

[phekwig]

It's interesting how you mentioned mental age and physical age being different... I see examples of it all the time. Thanks for a stimulating vlog...

[conway7734]

@phekwig Thanks. Yes indeed. There are many "jokes" on the subject, but still, yes, there are many real examples to be had. Hugs, Stephie

[conway7734]

@ Ishkiia Thanks. Indeed our calendar age vs what we really are is often SO different. There are trends, of course. Older people tend to be more mature in their thinking than children, but certainly not always. Very true about body and age being skin deep. Gosh, that's true! So many examples we find. Hugs, Stephie

Great advice, Stephie. We're so lucky to have you here, with all of your wisdom. There really is a difference in mental and physical age. My partner and I do often think alike and often know what the other one is thinking and about to say. We are actually very different people and have different interests but our time together binds us and somehow makes us one. It's so true that any type of relationship takes effort. I'll bet you were a wonderful husband Stephie. You are a thoughtful person! Jim

@CountryComesToTown Thanks for the nice comments. "Time binds us together". I like that. That's a GREAT observation! Yes it does. Very much so! Hugs, Stephie

[Ishkiia]

hey there sweetie.... Loved your video and it's nice to meet you... wonderful advice .. I too don't think age is in the body but in the mind and soul. I've seen dome dang immature 60 year olds and 10 year olds that had more wisdom than a sage. and everything else in between. a body and age is only skin deep... Honor to meet you... create a great day!

Your advice and outlook on this subject will be VERY helpful to me in my own life. One thing for sure...you dear Stephie are AGELESS and a good example in illustrating that age is just a number ! By the way, your hair looks so nice and love the nailpolish in contrast with your blouse. Very pretty !

[conway7734]

@Tiffanynicolina Thank you dear, for the wonderful compliments. -blush- For everyone, the bracelet you see me wearing on this video is a gift from dear Tiffany! Hugs, Stephie

Stephie, I really enjoyed your comments. I agree that what you put into the relationship is what get out of the relationship. Thanks for your video.

[conway7734]

@cathy308308 Thanks dear. It's only common sense, but common sense seems to be so uncommon. Yes indeed, the more you are willing to devote to ANY relationship, the more you will get out of that relationship. Very important rule to follow. Hugs, Stephie

WOW Steph!!!! Great vid. Thanks for mentioning our relationship..you are so darn sweet! I am sure that your wife is looking down at you and SMILING! She has all of the answers now....we have some of the answers but our brains here have difficulty "computing" Your journey is still evolving....YaaaY! Major HUGS! Jim (OH)

[conway7734]

@stoner829 Thanks dear! I'm sure my wife now understands the challenges we had in our marriage. I think she would have approved of my change. This IS a fasinating journey, with new wonders around each bend. One thing's for sure; they're all positive and awe inspiring. Hugs, Stephie

[PaintedRavensong]

Yes, mental age is a great point that you brought up. I love all of your ideas in this video. You are so wise!!

[conway7734]

@PaintedRavensong Thanks. Indeed many people concentrate so heavily on physical age issues that all the really important points are left behind. At 18, my son was not capable of thinking as an adult, and he knew it. Yet at 23, he is an absolutely delightful, responsible adult. (I'm not prejudiced, am I?) :-)

[SydneyTinker]

Stephie, it bears repeating that you are one of the YouTubers whose opinion I value most.

[conway7734]

@SydneyTinker Thanks, dear. This community is SO important to me. Y'all know I owe it my life! Literally. But that means I have a responsibility to think through and respond to these topics to the absolute best of my ability. Hey, wisdom comes with age, and I'm an old broad. :-) I really do appreciate the compliment and the confidence you all have shown in me. Hugs,

Hi Stephie!! Great Answer! The best part of this video was your advise. You are right that people in general needs to work at there relationship to get the results that they want out of it. I think communication is the key for any relationship to last.

[conway7734]

@COOLIKEDATAZIAN Thanks for the kind words. Communications is indeed a key; but it has to be honest communications. All too often we refrain from saying something that needs to be said, and instead, it festers inside us; ultimately harming the relationship. Hugs,
