  • Relationships aren't neccessary for happiness. Alot of people can be happy without a partner in their lives. You want to know why people get into relationships?

    I'll tell you:

    1) It can be a very enriching, very "This-gives-me-a-good-feeling", and for some, a fun experience. People love to feel good.

    2) Societal programming and the encouragement of the Couple status.

    3) Sex. Let's face it: people love to have sex and there's many different types to experiment with.

    and

    4) This doesn't apply to all relationships of course but a big factor why people get with others is because of children. Many adore kids and want to have them in life. Kids can either really enrich a relationship, or break it apart (but this heavily depends on the bond between the child's parents).

    As for lovers being in close age with one another, it's mostly a comfort or perference thing. I mean, would you feel more comfortable with a person 2-years-older than you or someone that's 30-years-older (old enough to be your mother/father)?

    And to answer your last question, yes. It is normal. Not everyone understands it and that's perfectly fine.
