younger man should marry a elder woman or not?

I'm 38 and my husband is 28. If you communicate well and are truly in love with each other age is just a number. How much younger are we talking ? It can be a little difficult at times when younger girls around 23-25 flirt with my husband but I trust him completely. We dont really feel an age difference, probably because he's usually more mature about things than I am. As long as your happy together and dont care what people think.....Go For it!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure what you are asking.  Are you engaged?  Age really doesn't matter that much, unless of course you are a kid and she's a grown woman.  Just get married and have a good life together.  Men tend to age quicker than women anyway.\n\nNote:  I said they men age quicker than women, I didn't say they mature quicker than women.

Most men mature at a slower rate than women.  An old Italian system for the proper age of a couple is : the woman should be half the age of the man, plus seven years.  ie.) a 40 y.o. Man should date a 27 y.o. woman.  A 13 year difference in that case.  I say go for it.  The two of you have a good chance of being compatible.

I suppose they can influence people to marry someone they might not otherwise....Some old guys have pretty young wives and it isn't because the young women find the old men fascinating.

I totally agree. I think 22 should be the youngest. And 27 a good older age, but you can get married at any age older than 22. Don't get married before 21 because then you can't legally have champagne at your wedding!

I think dmb is right...women mature faster.  I think once you reach a certain point, it really doesn't matter anymore, but a lot of people meet the one they marry fairly young...teens or twenties.

Yes.  It is better for a woman to date a guy who is older because of the differences in maturity, but if a woman is okay with that, there is nothing wrong with it.

Well if you love her too, have her wait 2 years for you. If you don't love her... tell her to find someone else.\n\nBy the way my husband is 6 yrs older than me... so no it isn't to young. Just from a legal stand point I'd wait.

The minimum age is when she gets her period, but because of how much longer people are living, her father is supposed to giver her the highest education possible and her family is supposed to teach her life as an adult as she grows, not marry her off as soon as possible.  My husband is from Pakistan, and most women don't get married there until they are in their 20's.  I know of only two that got married younger, and it was their choice.

I believe that both parties need to be of age or at least close to it. As long as they are happy, I don't see where we have the right to tell them they are wrong. My BF has a cousin in her 30s and her husband is 83! They are happy. She is his life...literally, she is what keeps him young!\n\nNo age is not an issue it is a number!

I date and live with a man that is 10 yrs. younger than I am, and we have the most wonderful love and relationship you could imagine. I personally do not think age should matter at all as long as the two of you are happy.

my husband is 8 yrs younger than me and we are happy...I hope we always are. Been married for 3 yrs now. He is my second husband. My first was right out of high school, had one kid and 11 yrs of marriage. If you ask me my first husband was immature, cruel and mean and he was 5 yrs older than me....I wouldnt trade my current husband for an older man or any man for that matter. Im 37 and he is 29 and i am so lucky to have that...i guess its different with everyone but just because they are younger doesnt mean they do drugs and alcohol;they can do that too if they are older...

honey, if you're married then the age difference should be the least of your worries.

I understand that you're worry about if he isn't mature enough and ready to face a life time marriage. I would say it's something that you should consider about but not to judge a person through his/her age. If you two have already got to the step that which is going to marry then you should know your future husband better. I don't know how well you two know about each other but I wouldn't recommend a rush relationship, especially marriage. Age wouldn't be a matter in a relationship which is cause by love, you should take a closer look to this person, find out if he would be the one that can love you, accept you and willing to cooperate with you to operate a life time marriage. If the answer that he give to you is "yes" and he has already proved to you, you mustn't stop.

It is not wrong. People say it's wrong because they follow a long established social construction that states that the man should always be the older one, because he should be the protector and the provider in the relationship. That's why no one ever judges an old man who is in a relationship with a young woman. People don't approve of an older woman and a younger man because that's not what they are used to see as normal. If you go on with this relationship you have to know that people will have objections about it, and that you as a couple will experience some disagreements because he's not as mature and experienced in life as you are. But on the good side you are both on your sexual prime (20 for the man and 40 for the woman). Every relationship is work, if you are willing to work for it, just do it!

If the couple is in love and has the parent's permission to marry then no he isn't. Besides, if the old dude is rich she has a chance to score a ton of neat stuff!!!!\n\nBesides I hear 15 year old girls marry 65 year old men all the time in Florida.
