SOMEONE PROPOSED TO YOU, AND LATER U DISCOVERED THAT YOU ARE OLDER THAN THE BOY, WHAT SHOULD I DO. DOES AGE COUNT IN MARRIAGE? PLEASE ONLY MATURE ADVICE IS NEED. NO CHILD'S ADVICE PLEASE

Holy! I hate seeing anyone making comparisons between love and age. They gat nothing in common. They are two different things entirely! Move on with your lovelife and don't let age push you to go searching for the wrong dude

My girlfriend and I were co-incidentally born on the same day.ie. Feb 22,19whatever and no plan of quitting or what so ever! Move on girl! Go! Go!! Moveon!!!

For me...marriage is not about age, its about loving each other.

Love is something that develops gradually because I don't believe in love at first sight. And whether it (love at first sight) exists is something I cannot explain. I know that there must be something about a woman that will attract me to her.

Once I'm attracted to her, the next thing is to start nursing this feeling of love for her.

When all these things are done, I can't refuse to marry her, simply because she's older than me. If she loves me and is equally willing to marry me, then to God be the glory.

As far as I'm concerned, age is nothing but a number. What is important is that I find that attraction and both of us are in love.

What I can see as a challenge is if the woman has passed the age of child bearing. That I may be not be able to stand because I want to have my own biological children. I don't believe in adoption. Even if I have to do any form of child adoption, it shouldn't be on the basis of not being able to have my own children but on the ground that I want to assist those motherless children.

Finally, @ poster...Maturity comes with the way you think. If you are 20 years but reason like a 30 year- old, then you can function like that person who is 30 years of age. So, both of you should start thinking like matured people. And if you truly love each other, I see no reason why you shouldn't get married.

And to the young guys, don't be scared of approaching any woman that you find attractive, no matter her age.

Good luck.

age is just a number,what matter is the way u and ur partner reason
