I've been wondering this for a long time. People say that love doesn't have boundaries, but I think there's a point where sometimes it's taken a little too far. I'm not talking about gay/lesbians/bisexuals, but I mean a 30 year-old man and a 15 year-old teenager getting married, for instance and having kids. (and situations similar to this) Would this be considered a little too extreme to be love, or does it not matter as long as their feelings for each other are love?

If the two were consenting, I see no difference between a 15 year old marrying a 35 year old versus a 20-something year old marrying someone in their forties and fifties.

Do I think 15 is a little young to get married? Yes, but maybe I am wrong and the relationship will last. Age shouldn't be that big of an issue when it comes to love, really. People have been overlook larger differences and flaws in order to be with someone.

Love isn't just about loving the good parts of people, but it is also a compromise between two people to embrace the bad, different, and annoying aspects of them as well.

In theory, love overlooks boundaries because you care about the other enough despite what they have done to others or to you and despite their reputation and whatnot. There are moral or decency boundaries set by society, but that's society, not love itself.

If it's love then why not. Yes there are boundaries, like I have a certain set of ethic and I'm not gonna change em just cause I'm in love with someone.

But love, real love, is ageless and timeless it doesn't, and shouldn't, matter whether the person is older than you or not. If you love them why should society hold you back from that?

If you love someone because they're younger than you are, very beautiful, blah, blah, blah and other certain characteristics thats rather too physical I don't really see that as love, that's merely infatuation. It's true, love has no boundaries however it seems to people.

True love, of course, still start by seeing certain characteristics from someone but then when you no longer understand it somehow yet you like that feeling of finding that person, that's when I define it as love. Of course that is my view not the common one.

Still, if love is true such characteristics no longer matter that much.

I don't think love has boundaries. I mean, there are laws, but love itself isn't limited in any way.
