A MAY DECEMBER RELATIONSHIP  is an example of the romantic involvement of two certain person between whom there is a considerable age difference, often because one individual has an ulterior or not open motive. Such as true love, money, etc. 


The reasoning behind this designation is that while one person is young and in the "Spring" of his or her life ( "May" or young ), the other is in "Winter" ("December" or old ). 

Being a nonspecific term, it encompasses the concept of slang words like cougar ( Cougar is a slang term that refers to a woman who seeks sexual relations with considerably younger men) or lech (to behave like a lecher) which is not good or offensive if used on couples who are serious in their relationships


Until quite recently, seeing an older man with a much younger woman or older woman with a much younger man has been the cause of whispered comments and issue for other people.

But there are many statistics about how the success rates of relationships with big age differences compare to those with minimal age gaps. These numbers tend to be very misleading.


**Do May December Relationship really work?**
For me, sometimes it works but sometimes not. It depends between the two person who are involved in that kind of situation. For some, that have a good intentions for example, they really love each other despite of their age gap, i think it's gonna work. They believe in these example of sayings:

-" Relationship must be judged by the maturity not the age difference. " 
-" Age is a strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. "
-" Age ain't nothing a but a number when it comes to loving someone. "

But some other people that are involved in " May December " Relationships that have their not so good intentions for instance of their own benefits, financial purposes, lust, sexual habits etc. will not be good at all. Maybe it can survive but I'm pretty sure that the happiness won't last. Because, for instance that their motive is lost, their pretending love will also be lost.

     Nothing is more important than love. Money, lust, sexual habits etc. will not make you very happy until forever, unless you placed it in a right place. Making others feel that you love them will be good but if it's just a pretending love it will be worst. You hurt others. Nothing will be wrong if you are sincerely putting things in right. 

In conclusion age-gap relationships are criticized, stereotyped, and put down. Even though they are becoming more common, have been around for centuries, occur in nature, and have proven to have lower divorce rates. Society should look at the relationship, not the ages of the people, and maybe more of these relationships would succeed. Age-gap relationships are just like normal relationships and should, according to evolution, be the social norm though due to social influences this is not the case. Nobody likes to be picked-on especially for something that makes them happy, so we should follow the golden rule “Do onto others as you would have them do unto you.”
Age-gap relationships should be looked at for what they are, not what they seem.
