How do you make your husband understand how in love you are with him even though he is 16 yrs older?

B"H\nHmmm... try taking two weeks off from sex every month.  Show him that during that time you are STILL head over heels in love with him.\n\nThis is actually advice many marriage councelors give out to help people who've lost the spice get it back into their marriage.  While you may not have this trouble, this definately helps develop the intellectual and emotional aspects of a relationship as well.  \n\nLoads of ancient cultures practiced this (usually abstaining from physical relations during the woman's menstruation) and it has proven itself time and again to keep marriages in a prolonged "honeymoon phase".

Hun, it doesn't matter how old you are, the way to a person's heart is by making them laugh & making them feel good about themselves.\n\nShow him how much you enjoy his company & talking to him, and you'll be surprised how quickly he will do the same.

First you just gotta get ovet the superficial appearances, etc., and ask yourself if you really love him?  If yes, then get over the little things.  My parents have the same age gap and have been together for 30 years.  It can work, as long as the age thing doesn't get to you.  Forget numbers and focus on people.

If you're happy now, then be contented with what you have. You chose to marry him despite his age and you've lasted that long together.\n\nIt is dangerous to entertain such a question...

Who are these middle aged men are they married?  Maybe they didn't marry the right one.  Me and my husband have been married 15 years(not all easy). I love him more today than I did 17 years ago when I met him and our sex is greater than ever.  If you love each other, are committed to each other and can share your thoughts and emotions GO FOR IT!!!\n\nGood Luck:-)

Well....I am 11 years older than my husband.  I am 42, he is 31...it is wonderful.  Age makes no difference.  Embrace the things that you have in common and learn about each other through your differences...Enjoy life...it only happens once!

follow your heart and remember to stand firm on your beliefs. What a precious gift to give someone you truely love. I would definately talk with him again. Sometimes young men that age think if you don't go farther in a relationship that you don't really love them or you have doubts. That simply isn't true...wouldn't he rather you wait until you can fully give yourself to the person you are gonna spend the rest of your life with. You are a very smart young lady to realize that you are to young to proceed further. You only get one chance to be young and innocent. Don't let him pressure you into doing ANYTHING you are not fully ready for mentally or physically. It's a gift you can truely only give once. Be safe sweetie.

The cheesy answer is that true love is blind.  But seriously, your age is more important than his.  Are you over 21, 25 is better.  Then your in a better position to determine if your feelings are real. Also, ask yourself these questions: How important is Sex in your life? If important, will he keep up?  Remember that your sex drive may increase as you hit 30, 40 and greatly at 50.  Can you handle thought of devoting several years to the relationship and then becoming a widow at a young age?  Even though I see nothing wrong or gross about the age gap(assuming that your not under the age of 21), is your love the sort that can handle the criticism of others?  \n\nThere are many other factors to weigh, but i'll let someone with more experince in life say the rest.\n\nP.s Please view my question if you have time

The question is: do you see yourself with him when you are 60 years old and over? If you can't picture yourself spending the rest of your life with him, then you're not in love with him, which means that you need to move on. You need to let go of him and find someone else that you will be in love with forever and who will love you forever too.

My husband and I are few months apart age wise and he is the older, we met at university and I believe it was love at first sight, even if we didn't realize it immediately, We married within two years of graduating and that was 14 years ago, we are still in love, so from my experience, being in love and marrying someone my own age has been a successful venture.\n\nI do disagree with sweety in saying that age gap with the man being at least 3 to 4 years  older creates respect. What creates respect is mutual understanding, love, trust, taking care of the duties of marriage as dictated by God etc, it has nothing to do with the age of the husband.\nIf your man treats you like his queen like my  husband does with me, you can't but want to care for and respect him because that is what he deserves.

Make it as romantic as possible.  Every guy in their thirties or so need to know that they are still sexy to their mate.  Make him feel like he's the world to you.  Buy yourself a sexy outfit that makes him say "WOW I'm w/ her!".  Pamper him and make him #1 for the day/night!  Hope you have the time of your lives!

Well you never really know.  I met my now husband and we started dating when I was 16.  All you need to do is just date.  You will know when the time is right.  If after a while you start arguing about dumb things and not getting along very well then you will know he is not the one.  People will tell you that you are too young to feel like this but I am still married happily.  We started dating at 16.  So if in your heart it feels right take it slow but see what happens.  You never know!  I felt the same way you are describing and I have been married for 9 years.  we are still just in love as we were when I was 16 and he was 19.  But please take it slow!  You really should wait for sex until your married!  You don't need a baby prematurely!  Enjoy your time with him!   Enjoy being young!  Good luck!

Hmmm...well, since you married him he probably (or atleast should) already know that you love him.  However, it's better late than never, so find a nice, quiet time where it's just the 2 of you, and all of his attention is focused on you, and then just say it!  Good luck! ;)

Yes, you can. When the difference is only one or two years, it's basically the same age bracket. I am married to a woman who is two years older and we feel like we are the same age.\nThe only problem you might expect is when you are, say 11, and the girl is 12. Then it is obvious that the love is more likely to be infatuation rather than love, and the age difference might mean the two people go in completely opposite directions.\nOther than that, you are probably fine.You are of the same generation, with the same cultural values, so it can be definitely alright between you.\nGood Luck.
