Na love matter o, the fact that she's your age mate doesn't mean that she will disrespect you....and the most important of all,make sure she is God's will for your life if not you will be making a very big mistake..pray about it cos marriage is a life time something, if you make a mistake in marriage then 80% of your life is in a mess for life....pray about it,see your pastor.

jewelofafrica: @OP, there are 2 kinds of husbands: the family man and the family head. Which do u intend to be? The family man is a lover friend and confidante. The family head is the SOLE provider character who expects Loyalty and RESPECT only as reward for his inputs to the home.

If you want to enjoy ur life pls marry ur agemate/friend, she will make you a wonderful companion, your communication will be smooth, but if you marry som1 far younger....intellectual gap is inevitable.

As for aging, well men age faster if u haven't noticed except u r looking at stressed women. Do u plan to stress your spouse? Most women claiming 30s are actually in their 40s if u doubt me ask genny.

Age should'nt be barrier when there is true lov. Gettin older or younger after birth depend maintenance, if she well taken care of, she wil even look younger than u.
Re: Getting Married To Your Age mate by Nobody: 10:29am On Dec 30, 2013
One thing that draws many Nigerians backward is the fact that they are always worried about what the next person thinks about them. What would people say? Is that a familiar phrase? That said, love and understanding respect is the most important thing in marriage. Age is just secondary.

I have been in your shoes. When i was younger, I was about marrying a 20 year old beauty queen who cursed me out because she was caught cheating with an ex. This same girl could kill you with respect and kneeling down but it was all an act.I was 10 years older than the girl but i got the curse of my life that day because of her wild exposure. She genuinely came back crying and begging but it was too late.Till date i believe part of why she made that mistake was her immaturity. Thereafter i did a re appraisal of my priority, i asked myself if i really wanted a beauty queen who will kill me with High BP or a matured and God fearing woman who is ready to settle down? I opted for the latter, she is few months older than me but its been blissful.

Integrity,Flexibility and Giving are the top factors you should look out for in a woman not if she looks older after 2 kids or whether she will respect you. A lot of things will test your love whether she is 20 or 50, I am not wishing you anything bad but what if the 20 year old woman experience delay in giving birth after marrying her? Will you run away from the marriage?. Be a man,The decision to marry someone is deeper than what you are looking at. You wont find a perfect woman,there will be some comma even if she is 20 years old.

As regards sex, please talk to the medical experts libido differs and depends on many things like your lifestyle,sugar intake,alcohol intake etc. but generally as women grow older their libido grows while that of men decreases. Thats why you see sugar mummies looking for younger men while many men are using viagra and burantashi with the help of Mouth Action to get it up. In fact, you cant use gender to determine libido,focus on a healthy lifestyle.

The decision is still yours on the long run. Dont make a foolish decision that you will look back in the future and regret ever making. Do you want a 20 year old who is still freaked by the latest android phone or a matured woman who sees building your own house as your immediate priority?

DON'T DO IT!!!

Love just dey shack you now...but 2 years after marriage your eyes go open.

Nobody goes into marriage hoping for the worst, but I can guarantee you that you are

just fulfilling your childhood fantasy.

When it wears off and you are stuck with this mamasita, na then your wahala go start.

You think you know her because you just spent few days with her? Good luck.

There are reasons why she is still single in the mid-30s.

Don't carry your legs enter wahala o! At her age, most ladies pretend to be nice because they
have limited options. But as soon as she ropes you in, you are screwed.

Take a cue from Princess the comedian. Don't be the hero who tries to wipe out an old cargo's shame.

Forewarned is fore-armed. Stop thinking with the little head
.

Listen to this poster at your own risk. Especially for saying women are doomed when they reach age 35,that's a lie of the devil. Poster have you asked yourself why you are still single at 31 or 32? The race in front of us differ,some will marry early while some will marry late so don't be disturbed,give her that ring if she meets other important criteria of a wife. smiley

Don't mind him. Marriage goes beyond beauty as when both of you are in your seventies, is it beauty that will sustain the marriage?
Re: Getting Married To Your Age mate by phyla(m): 10:54am On Dec 30, 2013
What does it matter,If you truly love her.We "men" are all generally insatiable,if she's younger,you will come here to say she's not matured enough.It is only in this part of the world that people worry about age differences.
I'll say if you feel peaceful with her and she meets all other criteria you've always wanted in a woman....pls go ahead!Women generally tend to look older wen they have given birth.You can't find everything in just one person,even you cannot not posses all what your "age mate" wants in a man.At this point,you must know what you truly want and stick to it before starting to sleep with her and that is if you haven't before you started worrying about you been "age mate"...Ashewo!
Don't mind me ooo,hoping God helps you in your decision,bless you sir!

kmcutez: @op, you do not love this lady, please let her go. Ask yourself, tomorrow if she

A) becomes blind
B) loses both legs
C) loses both arms
D) gets burns over 50% of her body

etc, would you still marry her? This is just a tip of the iceberg, as I know most naija guys are into physical appearances, hence those questions.

How did you reach such conclusion that he does not love her?
How would you answer these questions if you were asked?

If tomorrow your husband
A) becomes blind
B) loses both legs
C) loses both arms
D) gets burns over 50% of his body

etc, would you still marry and love him?
If you say yes to all,how do you convince us that things won't change?
Re: Getting Married To Your Age mate by ini4brandon(m): 11:00am On Dec 30, 2013
if you love her, yeah, wife her. The only area I. forsee trouble is at old age..... you guys might suffer the debilitating effects of old age simultaneously n can't help each other out. ideally, a younger wife will be strong to cater to your needs when ur old n weak.

@OP:

Haha. Everyone of your cheerleaders keeps harping on "if she loves and respects you". How in the world are you going to know this? From just these few months of courtship? LOL.

You know that voice at the back of your mind that prompted you to open this thread? Listen to it. Every new relationship always feels like heaven until the real challenges show up.

Besides what she told you, how do you know she equally feels the same way about you?


Your conscience and I are trying to save you from you.

As inter alia stated, I DARE YOU TO MARRY THIS LADY with the little you know about her. Forget the primary school infatuation. Women usually go gaga at the word "marriage". Some people tells you how it worked for them without giving the full details...that's assuming they are being honest. Some say na sugar sugar. Ok ooo! If they say so.

Don't do it....Thank me later in a few years to come.

There is nothing bad in you marrying ur age mate. What matters is love. I married someone that is 4months older than me and there is no regret ever since then. If u love her, pray about it and involve ur pastor. I wish u all the best

Apparently something about the new relationship is bothering the OP.

But he just cannot handle the truth.

This is really a good topic.
But am just 26 and am of the opinion that age does matter when it comes to love but when i comes to marriage you should really weigh up the pro and cons.
cos at the end of the day the final decision is still gon be yours.

Right on point!

See as everyone dey talk love this love that.

Even when the OP has categorically said that they were just together for a few days.

Some dey form marriage expert join while some with their heads stuck very far in their rear ends believe their responses are very matured in advising the OP to leap before he looks. Mtcheeeeeew!!!

It is quiet appalling how easily people use the word "love".

...there is nothing bad IN IT (not on it) also : REAL age (not really age)
I hope u won't take any offence.

Re: Getting Married To Your Age mate by Nobody: 12:48pm On Dec 30, 2013
Bro apart from love and age, there are other things to consider, like genotype, HIV status, ur future prospects and the responsibilities that come with parenting,
Focus more on those and if they are all in ur favour, I'll say, "go and marry ur marry"
Re: Getting Married To Your Age mate by Nobody: 1:11pm On Dec 30, 2013
