Does Age Really Matter?? by Gudday(m): 11:34am On Sep 08, 2013
I have been in a relationship for about 5yrz now, i really love my girl and enjoy every moment spent with her cos she understand and cares about me, even m0re than i could have expected. I have been thinkin that d gurl iz d best gal i have eva seen nd could ever meet. Thats why i made up my mind that i will take her to the altar but the only thing that iz givin me concern iz that she is a yr olda dan me nd i n0ticed dat it is a common tradition that a man shl b olda dan his wife xcept in rare cases. So my questn nw is: is it adviceable for me to marry her with dat her +1 yr or n0t and also i want to knw why men always prefer to be older dan their wife. Pls, I need ur advice as quick as possible coz it iz very urgent... It think the elderly, married people in the house should be very helpful. Pls, am waiting!

In five years of your relationship with her, she never acted being older than you, where is your fear coming from?


Do you want to go about drumming your age difference with people? My brother, age is only in figures to apply our hearts to wisdom. If you like her and you are good with her person, let not age stop you.


You will not live with age but with the content of her character.

This is a very stupid question. After 5 yrs, you just start seeing the age difference?? Why waste her time all these yrs? You should have asked yourself that question one month into dating

Age diffrence has nothing to do with your marrital life,...and again you have dated her for good 5yrs til now,...some married couple divorces after 1 week...once you luv her,...why not go ahead with your marriage,...been older than you is even an advantage for you as a man, that shows you guys will treat your ups n down maturely...gud luck!

Sorry to be harsh. 5 yrs is well enough to know someone. As long as she doesn't throw the age difference in your face and she respects you as her man, that is all that matters. People will talk regardless, so allow them to talk and don't be phased by it. If both of you have love, mutual respect, compatibility n excellent communication skills, that is all counts. Everything else is just white noise.
