Well; it all depends where you are coming from. And exactly what you mean by "serious relationship." If you were in your mid-twenties, and doing this with a 13 or 14 year old, the Bible might have something to say about that kind of thing. I got married when I was 36, and my wife was 8 years younger than me. Do you see the differences I am getting at? We have been married now for 21 years. I am not so sure that it would be possible without consulting scripture all the way. There is a verse which says "The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it." Pro 10:22 If the Lord genuinely can bless what you are doing, by the counsel of His Word, then there would be "no sorrow" with it. That doesn't mean "if it feels good do it." It's talking about a level of commitment to do things God's way. He will "add no sorrow" to this kind of choice in your life. Quote "People [rarely] see...the bright light which is in the clouds..." (Job 37:21)"I cannot know why suddenly the stormshould rage so fiercely round me in it's wrathBut this I know: God watches all my pathAnd I can trust""God helps us to draw strength from the storm" - OveragedFaith makes things possible; it does not make them easy, Steps To Christ
