Well age really doesn't matter at all and no matter what you should marry someone because you love them not because they are older than you but older men are also pretty mature

I know why this question is asked. It is because most people in traditional societies and even some nowadays prefer a certain difference between men and women.  They thought that women sexually mature earlier than men at the same age, and women tend to be in a better control of the family affairs than men in their 20s and 30s.  Thus a certain research of their respectively psychological and biological development can confirm this too.  Therefore in order for men to strike a balance in their relationship, they should tend to be older all things being equal.  Otherwise no one should care provided they love each other.  Dont take me wrong if I said the age should be a little different, but should not be a big gap.  Multiple factors come in as well, eg education, wealth, distance, subculture, health, and the like can off the age difference.

I personally think that it's better to live with someone before you marry.  Many will disagree with my belief, but it is my own personal preference.  The reason that I believe that is because you never really know someone until you live with them.  You may discover things that you will not be able to tolerate for the rest of your life.

you should always marry for love. you should love the one you marry. your love will grow as the years pass.

I eventually married one. He is almost 20 yrs older. The biggest reason I dated an older guy was because they can afford to take you places, give you the finer things in life and generally don't play head games the younger guys play, plus they have more experience at making themselves last in the bedroom.(example: Young bull says lets run down and **** those cows! Older bull says lets walk down and **** them all)

In my opinion anywhere above twenty years is too much of an age difference. I have no doubt in my mind at all that you and your girl will live a happy life together forever. As long as you are both treating each other with respect and courtesy then you should be just fine. Loving her is part of it but you also have to show her that you love her. Maybe you should renew your vows if you're married (hope you know what that means), or plan a surprise trip to a country she has always wanted to visit. I know that might sound like a hassle and quite a chunk of dough out of your pocket but from your description it sounds like it might be the only thing that will work... good luck in resolving this conflict, i will keep you and your girlfriend in my thoughts and prayers

With so many failed marriages out there it's hard to say. Maturity plays a major part, here. When you find someone who knows what they want & are willing to sacrifice for it ( the marriage ) that may be the one to marry regardless of age.

People need to stop believing EVERYTHING they read! Marriage is for any person that finds someone that will marry them. The article is just there to sell newspapers. The older ANY woman gets, the better the chance that she will not get married. The older we get, the fewer men we have to choose from. Women outlive men still, so that will reduce the numbers. Some older men are only looking for younger women, so that will reduce the numbers, and the other men are either gay, too young or already married. It is only natural that as women get older their chance to marry would be reduced.\n\n@--->---

Age isn't as important as maturity and so many other factors, like life goals, and personality compatibility. We all are at some stage in life. A great marriage is one in which both parties are of pretty much equal places in maturity, experience, wisdom, ect. they want their lives to go the same place at the same speed, understand and happily accept the self sacrifice it takes to get there. \n\nDifferences make for exciting mates and excitement in dating is a good thing but they make for an unhappy marriage in the long haul. In other words, who you prefer to date might be the exact opposite of who you should marry and as you mature, you'll know the difference between the two.\n\nAs it is, this is nothing but my opinion gleemed from life experience. I have no other qualifications to answer it and it should be taken as a persons opinion and nothing more.

a younger female is not set in her ways, they been thru less (heartbreak) as suppose a more mature woman have their guard up and more cautious .Opinion - you can get away with a lot of crap with a younger chick than a older chick.

for sure you can, you will not marry her tomorrow, right? there will be more time till marriage, and remember, in old times 'my grandfathers' they were marrying ladies younger than them by more than 10 years, they believed in that, and they were happy and their marriages were so successful. In case you really believe she loves you 'loving is so different than impressed, remember, ladies in her age are impressed by your age, make sure she knows what love is, and that she really loves you', Go Ahead! Good Luck!

You're a fool. Back then girls were married off around 12 or 13 and then usually had kids arounds 14 or 15. Get used to it, that's just how it was.

25 up is ideal age-wise, but of course age does not really matter. It's your level of maturity, how prepared are you, and when you have the RIGHT reasons for marrying someone (that includes you love the person and want to spend the rest of your life with the him)
