Dear LFTP: the age-gap relationship
- A late-20s woman is falling in love with a man 30-plus years older with incompatible life goals — can any good come of this, or is the end just heartbreak?
Dear LFTP letter: a woman in her late twenties is back with a man 30-plus years older after both failed to find partners closer to their ages; she wants children and a career while he has grandchildren and wants to travel after retirement — and this time she is falling in love. One host calls the likely end 'heartbreak... every time,' then clarifies that every relationship ends in loss, which is no reason not to pursue it. The consensus advice: resolve the practical incompatibilities honestly, put God at the center, get married and be happy — followed by the Secular persona's pros-and-cons answer.
