Can You Marry Someone 10 Years Older Than You? by Mojoy88(m): 10:43pm On Apr 09, 2017
Age difference between couple seems not to matter anymore. It seems the saying ''age is just a number'' has been imbibed by all and sundry in relationship. Even news of wife being older than the husband has become a normal story in our modern society.
However, how far can be too far. The age difference between couple in love may seem not to matter at the early stage of a relationship because the butterfly in the belly is still very much alive. But subsequently, realities will start checking the bond as the IGG (Initial gra gra) fades.
Now, considering all factors, what should be the reasonable age difference between a husband and wife? Can you marry someone 10 years older or younger?

When you are 40, she is 34. That is not bad bro!

Mojoy88 it should be from the point of a man. Ladies like mature men. A man should be far older than his wife. Like 5 to 10 years ain't bad. Mind you, ladies develop faster at their early age than guys. If you see some ladies of let's say 19 years old, you will think they are 30 years old. And if you see a guy of 30 years old , you will think he is still in his early 20's way look younger than his age. Such a guy can marry a girl he is even older than with 15 years but not the other way round. If such a guy go on marring a lady of same age, people may mistake her as his aunt rather than his wife.

Hence, it is advisable for ladies to always get married to older guys than marrying their age mate or those they are older than. A man must be reasonably older than his wife not the other way round. But when destiny Brings a woman who is older than her man, then they just have to go for it if and only if the woman will still respect the man as the head. As for me,I must be older than the lady I will marry with at least 5 to 10 years for the fact that ladies age faster than guys.

A Lady of same age with you will look way too old for you. They may mistake her to be your aunt. A younger girl fits better. Your age mate should be looking at someone older to marry as well. A man of 36 marrying a Lady of 26 is very very much recommended. Person like Banky W who is somewhat between 36, 37 getting marrying to a gal of 26 ,27 ain't bad at all.

Check out some 22 years old ladies, they look mature in and out. You will even think they are closer to 30 years old.

of course I can...
there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
even if you call him by his name, there are sometimes that the situation will warrant you to respect him and if he's just 2 yrs older, honestly, we're age mates.
he's 45 and you're 43, aunty, he's still more sexually active than you are and you're now checking the calendar for him... wehdone ma. I rest my case...

Well said bro! We seem to share the same line of thought. A well calculated age difference which equates the body morphology of the couple is that husband should be older than his wife with a reasonably wide margin. But, there is another factor that seems to be against that calculation, and that is sexual urge. It seems the older a man becomes, the less the sexual satisfaction his (say 7 years younger) wife derive from him. Reason some women prefer their men's age to be at per with theirs. Another case is that of sugar mummies.
