The Ideal Age Gap Between You And Your Spouse? by Uche2nna(m): 3:53am On Sep 05, 2006
Hey guys and of course ladies.i am just wondring what the ideal age gap between couples.I do not know the reason but when I was in Nigeria I am always in the company of ladies that are 5 years or even more than that older than me.I kind of feel that younger girls are usually silly and you can not trust them.I might be wrong but then evrybody is entitled to his or her opinion

Uche,

As far as am concern age is just a number, you can choose whomever you have relationship with based on chemisty but not age. Good luck,

There isnt like a specific age,it ranges and differs for people, what works for you works for you.

I think 3 to five years is suitable, but I agree that it varies from person to person. lipsrsealed

In my candid opinion,the age gap for me ranges from 5-10 years.
Re: The Ideal Age Gap Between You And Your Spouse? by Ugwumba(m): 12:16am On Sep 13, 2006

@ omogenaija, if na explanation of my comment, see below.

The lady - at 21 stalled aging for 5 yrs, and restarts. so, when she tells me 22 she's really 26. 4 years later after failed relationship at 30 (she claims 26), freezes age for next 3 yrs, before I come along. grin

So she's actually 33, when she claims she's 26.

Mini me - If I give a 'gap' of 10 years, then i am 36 getting married to a '26-year old' who is actually 33.

Q.E.D. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Age is no number nothing.U gotta be at least 2years younger than your husband.He gotta be the head not the tail.As for just dating or playing,well thats when it should be a number.Ideally,2-10yrs is not bad.

Re: The Ideal Age Gap Between You And Your Spouse? by desiree(f): 9:41pm On Sep 27, 2006
5-8 years is a healthy age difference, in my opinion.

I don't think there's any particular age, but what matters is for your partner to be mature in mind and also know about the game of Love and play it well.
