Personaly I see as a thing of the mind and also maturity with understanding. if they are truly in love with each other he should go ahead and marry her. Presently my own proposed wife to be is older than me.

Ideally, the guy should be about 5 years older than the lady. If the lady is older than the guy, the guy will risk always being asked if her wife is her aunt after 2 or 3 delivery.

Note : When you compare male and female of same age, the female always look older ( especially without makeup).
It does'nt apply to all cases.My state ex-governor's wife is two yrs older than him, yet she looks much younger and fresher than him even after three teenage kids.Its about body maintainance & healthy living,that's all.Am talking of Donald Duke & wife.

I have walked this road before so i speak out of experience, i never did marry her though. The male would pick on every little thing thing cos he would be defensive unknowingly. Why hold unto something you could regret when there is alot of younger females out there that are even matured. If you marry a younger woman shes definately gonna be rude not to talk of an older woman cos thats just the way they are wired. My brother face it. wink

he shuld try and kn what he wants because she already did kn wat she wanted. Bet me, any lady dat marries a younger man as lng as she loves him, she wil respect him against all odds. So he shuld stop being sargastical...

I see, tell me friend, would you marry a girl you're older than with twenty years?
Re: Is Age A Big Deal? by Okey8122(m): 6:49pm On Dec 15, 2014
Age doesn't really matter so far there is mutual respect for each other
Re: Is Age A Big Deal? by ozoebuka1(m): 6:52pm On Dec 15, 2014
Seun:
It may not be a problem for many other guys, but it is obviously very important to him, so I don't think the marriage will work. Every time she does something that seems disrespectful to him, he will think it's because of her age. Marriage is "forever", so don't settle for "less"
dude it doesn't matter because in current Nigeria girls are busy changing their ages and guys are busy believing those changed ages to be their real age... u can marry a woman Who tells u that she's just 25 "and that also reflects in her birth certificate " but in sincerity she's 30yrs of age...if u marry this gal, u will have in ya subconsciousness that she's younger than u and thus u will be comfortable with her..... in conclusion just pretend that she's younger than u and u you'd be fine, afterall age is just a number.
Re: Is Age A Big Deal? by deasy(m): 6:59pm On Dec 15, 2014
I just pray that relationship/marriage issues over here, won't be the way it is in the western world... To me, i'd say...there's a reason why GOD the author of the first relationship/marriage created the Man first, while the Woman was hidden in him until it was time for her to be revealed. I believe this points to Age difference between a man and his wife.
Man should be older not the woman.

IMHO AGE Is Very Important Ohh.. I Can't Marry A Woman Older Than Me..
Re: Is Age A Big Deal? by amenota(m): 7:01pm On Dec 15, 2014
Honestly, it is nt as difficult as u think! My current girlfriend iss 26 and I am 23 and we are both aware of dis fact! We have had series of misunderstandings based on dis age difference in time past but when it really matter the most, we have never let go of the fact that we love eachother deeply! I can proudly say I am a better man than I used to be. See, its a thing of the mind and the self development of each party! I am in mine because I no I can handly the lady in question and she respects me like no man's business!! Its a matter of choice! Let the truth in you guide you

[quote author=JeffreyJamez post=28865534]Africans will be carrying age on their head like what I don't know......if he doesn't want he should leave the girl alone and stop wasting her time. MATURITY NO BE BY AGE. if there is love and respect and mutual understanding this shouldn't be an issue.....but the ego of "African man" would let them see road... mchew

Jeff. Ds ur coment s so matured wll like t no u more
Re: Is Age A Big Deal? by Nobody: 7:12pm On Dec 15, 2014
Some people do pretend like is nothing but I tell you ,is actually some thing, imagine marrying a girl that is older than you,after second issue the girl will look your mother, for me the girl I will marry most be very younger,at least second to my age grade(5years younger )age really matter for me, no pretends but only truth. For Girls ,imagine a girl at 20 marry a man of 35 to 40 and after some few years the man will be already weak, or eventually dies,girl or lady think of the amount of suffering you will encounter as a young widow,age really really matter, you marry your age grade you will enjoy marriage

It takes 2 to tango... My uncle married someone 3yrs his senior and we never knew untill last two years when she passed on.. They lived and loved peacefully for 31 years.. We always look forward to visiting them cause they were just too cute together. I was shocked when she passed on and i saw d burial program n poster.. So op like i said it takes 2to tango... Age is in d mind..infact most of my closest friends that i look up to for advice in distress are my juniors and they're d best but u never know their age except u see a document involving age.

Very well. Might I ask you a question, can you get married to a guy who's 18-20 years older than you? Carrying out my own research on the "Age Aint Nothing But A Number" thing.

This is Africa! Here,Age is everything....frm who shares d meat in d pot to who first choses d plate of served food, to who breaks d kolanut, to who speaks/leads in a meeting,...it our heritage and part of our culture.Here,Respect comes with age...and our african women are trained to respect age.DNT BE DECIEVED,!!!
