i've
been pondering over this issue for quite a long of time now.
can you marry someone older than you.OR
Let me out it like this;for a man,can you marry a lady older than you?
For ladies;can you marry a guy you are older than?
Please your contribution is highly needed and weicome.let me hear your views fellow nairalanders.

happening around us, so long she can be submissive no one will know about d age diffrence

Age is nothing but a number.
Wisdom doesnt come with age.

i think a lady can marry someone she is older than. Firstly, you have to see the guy as a husband and the head of the family. Secondly, age must not
come in between the both of you. If the guy is matured because thay say that mariage has to do with maturity and not age. If he is and both understand of you understand yourself. You can go ahead and tie the knot shikina.

Yes she can. My older brother has married a woman older than he is. At the beginning of their relationship my parents never thought that they were serious so they were against it but over the years they had showed their commitment to each other regardless of what everyone was saying and now my parents are happy about it and they are going strong. Really all that matters is that the woman can submit to the man and that the man can be mature enough to be a husband and father.

mmm mmm, I am not marrying a man 5,10, 15 years my junior. Nexx ting u know, i am home baking a banana bread and he is around the corner troubling a "spring-chicken". , . Ah don't tink suh

Age is no barrier to true love and lasting happiness.
Will be glad to come witness your union.
Ciao!

I agree with Maureena!! I think it is Ok to marry a younger guy if the woman will still respect him as head of household. He of course must be mature enough to act as such. Which in turn he would have no business marrying in the first place if he can not be head of household!

It can surely work but requires a lot of work from the woman in question

doesnt matter, my baby mum is 7 yrs older than me , and she is so submissive

@ poster there is noting bad in that
