Dear Pastor,

I have a problem. I am 32 years old and I have three children. I am divorced. I got involved with a man whom I have known for a while. The problem is he is 10 years younger than me, he has no children and I do not plan to have anymore. He says he cares for me and that the 10-year difference is irrelevant. I love him, but I am not sure if I should be trying to take this any further because of his age and the fact that he has just started to live his life and I have already started mine. His friends and family (mom) are cool with the relationship, but I am not sure. We live in two different countries as well.

What should I do?

Dear D.S,

If you are not comfortable with this relationship, end it now. Your happiness is very important. Love is not the only criteria in a relationship. There are many things one should consider. This guy may feel that his age is irrelevant but, if it is bothering you, tell him that you are not prepared to go further with him.

Pastor
