Does age really matter?

Just as a quick overview. I have grown up in a hard home, dad is not there. Mom came back into my life, and I do have one parent. In other words I have had to grow up fast and I am very mature and know what I have in mind for my future. Ive known someone for about 4 years. I live in faith and he respects me very much, as well as my family. We have all grown close. I know that we are in love and its gods way for me. I am 16, and he is 22. I don’t doubt that age matters, I just think its interesting how people make a huge deal about it. Most situations are very different from mine.

I know that people wont agree with my god aspect so please don’t hijack my discussion. :) Thanks and please be respectful.
