Well this is a good question and I've been havin problem with it for sometime now but I solved it my way when it had to do wt me anyway . So if u were in a position to marry the love of ur life whom u never knew that her/his actual age is the same as yours but get to know along the line would u still continue and marry him/her?

If i have a choice, NO WAY.
But i think its GOD that gives a wife/husband so Gods way, my way.

If i have a choice, NO WAY.

If? Of course you will always have a choice; 'God' will allow you to choose.
(Don't listen to anyone who tries to take your choice(s) away from you.)

@Seun
i understand your point. Im just trying to play with words

yes ,but some dudes prefer younger gals

i do too

I think I prefer girls my age because its more likely that we think alike. younger girls are known for misunderstandin relationships in that there is no mutual respect. thats how i see it.

well,i don't have a problem with marryin my age mate,but i'll prefer someone younger.

[color=#990000][/color Didn't C any problem with that, provided we love each other. I strongly believe Marriage on its own is ordained by God and not by men,so if it pleases God that one should marry his/her age mate, so be it my bro!]

it happened exactly like how the poster described to me. Since we settled the respect aspect (which a man needs so much) and she's still looking beautifull and younger than her age. No probs with me.

AND WE ARE MARRIED NOW

Why can't you marry your mate? if you guys are good together there is nothing wrong. You are supposed to marry your friend, so would you leave the babe/guy when everything is rossy just because she is your mate? that would be crazy!Respect yourself and your partner would respect you in return.Simple.

I am quite open minded,the reason why i wouldnt marry my age mate is because he might not be matured enough to handle a serious relationship.
But if he is matured who knows!!!!!
age doesnt really determine maturity nowadays

As a male yes!  As a female --- hell no! Make that at least a 10 year gap please!

Reminds me of my old folks. But its gonna be a leader/surbodinate relationship, you know. some women are cool with that, because the man will be like their father as well and its gonna be yes sir all the way. I think it has to do a little with upbringing though.
Just my view sha.

as a man, NO, i wont marry my mate cos she'll soon look like my mom after her first child birth.

No way! I wont even think of it.

Age is nothing but a number and its a mind thing actually.

I will marry my age mate as long as we are compatible, understand, care and love one another.

Besides, i prefer mature ladies because they are more understanding unlike teens girls who behaves childishly.

Marriage is a life thing and one should be happy in it. If marrying someone  who is your age mate will give you the happiness you deserve, why not?

why not!

what does age have to do with chosing a life partner?

no, i wont
ladies grow old easily, i would age difference of say 5yrs, and besides disparity in age makes marriage sweat.

EVEN IF YOU MARRY 20YEARS YOUNGER THAN YOU., WONT SHE STILL BE LOOKING LIKE YOUR MUM AFTER CHILDBIRTH. NO WAY MAN, IF THAT IS A PROB, THEN IT IS GENERAL IF YOU GUYS CANT SOLVE IT AMICABLY.

MINE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING, AND SHE EVEN GYMS. SO NO PROBS. I WONDER WHAT A WOMAN THINKS IF SHE DOESNT WANNA LOOK GOOD TO HER MAN THAT SHE LOVES SO MUCH ??

A

nope,not a very good idea.i wldnt

oh yeah, i can go out with someone younger just for the fun of it nothing serious.

Sure. . .no problem, even older!

if there is love in the game no problem,b/cos age is just a number

Not just a number o . . . In Some cases, I will bail

I'm married to a fine, beautiful nubian queen. We've been together for a little over 12 years. She is older than me by a year and a half, like every other married couples we've had our share differences, but have been able to resolve them amicably without delving into age differences. Age is just a number, maturity does go a long way.

Is this also a problem? Na waaoo. If it's bad 50 50 which way is it better, 40 60 or 60 40?

@mishooo, u're right Man, if u both understand eachother, she work it out ya know, So she can always look good,
