From observations and reviews here are some of the disavantages of a man 10 years older than the wife.

1. They belong to different generation.
2. Some of them like sending wifey on errands in public places
3. You might end up raising the children all alone.

THat’s the age difference between my parents and they get along PERFECTLY well! I guess the success of the marriage would be based of individuality, mutual respect and understanding and maturity of the people involved.

Are you minding the op? With her myopic view about life. That's d probably the age gap of a man that can handle her immaturity. Its what some ppl actually want sef.

The age gap between pastor Sam Adeyemi and Nike Adeyemi is not up to 10 years. Just imagine if Pastor Nike Adeyemi didn't marry pastor Sam but end up with a man ten years older than her. Even for the fact that the age gab between them is not up to ten Pastor Sam is Matured and extremely sound. Thank God Pastor Nike married a man that is not ten years older than her.

Also the age difference between Barack Obama and Michelle Obama is not up to ten years.

You saw what you want to see...what your mind is expected to see. Any age gap more than 5 years of age especially in Nigeria will have the junior partner running errand for the senior one. You see the junior Party answering sir upandan to the senior partner instead of honey, darling and the rest of dem endearment.

Bro, you ain’t in my family, you don’t know my parents and you’re not a member of my home so it’s pretty silly of you to come and make such crass generalizations. If what you described is what you see in such peculiar cases, that doesn’t mean it applies everywhere. I’m a very perceptive and observant person, these are my parents I’m talking about, I’ve lived with them all my life and I think I’m in the best position to say what goes on in my home.

And you are very silly to call me silly. Make your point as I have made mine.
I observed something from your post which I have seen on several occasions in many families that with that age gap someone has been subdued to the extent they don't have voice again.--- thats my stance. And you don't have to call me silly to buttress your point.

My apologies
You perhaps misread me. I didn’t call you that, I only asserted that it was silly or not sensible to make generalizations like that just because you’ve seen that scenario play out multiple times. Again, I apologize.

Na waoooo, age doesn't really matter, where there is LOVE; you won't even notice.

my hubby is 12yrs older,there is nothing he does not do in the house,pertaining cooking,cleaning and going to the market.he is just so humble and down to earth.
and I do not take him for granted.
when there is love and understanding age is definitely and truly nothing but a number. my hubby is 12yrs older,there is nothing he does not do in the house,pertaining cooking,cleaning and going to the market.he is just so humble and down to earth.

Age is just a number in marriage. Maturity counts alot. It is of more advantages to marry a lady you re more older than if maturity and courtesy exists

You are so RIGHT.
I will share a story about a teenager that was subdued by the husband with a ten years age gap and his ex girlfriends not until she rebel and GIVE UP ON HIM that things changed.

The age difference is the best.

Small small girls who have zero experience with marriage would just open thread and think they sound logical in their assertion.
The key in marriage is love and mutual respect . I have seen marriages with 1, 2, 3 and even zero age gap yet all the negatives op attributed to in her post are also applicable.
I have female friends who tell me they can't get married to a guy who isn't above 5yrs older and I have some whose hubbies are above 10yrs yet they play and go about as best of friends.
Wether you say some or you say all, the 10year yardstick is as baseless as a 2yr yardstick.

Madam but you didn't have to shout. When in a conversation with another person and you begin to raise your voice beyond the level of comfort, do you know what that makes of you??
Social media ethics: Use of all caps = Shouting.
Don't thank me, you're welcome

you just exposed yourself. So because Nike married Sam and it worked out it means everyone marriage with there age gap is ideal.
My sister you are on a long thing.

Celine Dion husband was twice her age and she is one of the few celebrities without a scandal in her marital life.

You better pray to meet the right person and stop talking trash.

I mentioned SOME not ALL in my POST but if you don't understand that then am not the cause

the some you mentioned was not used to qualify the relationship but the disadvantages of the relationship. So it's obvious you have a wrong mindset. In relationships what works for 4 may not work for 5. So locate what works for you and stick to it.

like I said earlier on if you don't understand my point then am not the cause, you have a wrong mindset,why bully another who have a different opinion by saying she is talking trash. If you must know we are all entitled to our own opinion.

In a country where there is freedom of speech you are looking for a VULNERABLE person you can turn to your slave by silencing them through bullying.This is 21st century I pity the vulnerable people around you and if you go about insulting the vulnerable ones amongst you at any slightest opportunity then you will surely reap what you have sowed.

Pastor's defender, even ur pastor will not successfully brainwash you if you aren't self incompetent.

These are the points where you simply lack common sense:
- I did not mention anything around pastor in my post and that's because you didn't mention it in ur original post. Having to bring in pastor matter in d discourse is worthless
-Thinking its all nairalanders that are fans of pastors
- A point is a point, pastor or imam fanaticism is regardless
- thinking that those who do not agree with u on ur age gap preference are out of d matter.

Let your reasoning be deep before u let it out next time
