Dear Nairalanders, u know i always run to u guys when gbese dey. Pls help advise a friend who is in urgent need of it. I have dis friend who is in love with his girl, I tink dey both love each oda soo much especially the girl. But the problem now b say he found out dat the girl is 2yrs older Dan him. nd judgin from wia he is comin from I tink dia mite b wahala if he decides to let his pipol knw abt it. His question now is, should he go ahead marrying her? Does age really matter? Nd d funny tin is dat dis my guy has always being a strong critic of the above topic. He has always believed dat guys should be older Dan dia ladies. Now d tin don dey happen to am.. (Lol) pls guys wots ur take on dis, cos an introduction suppose happen dis December. Ur advise is urgently needed weda good or bad. Uncle seun pls help push dis topic. It's urgent!!!

It may not be a problem for many other guys, but it is obviously very important to him, so I don't think the marriage will work. Every time she does something that seems disrespectful to him, he will think it's because of her age. Marriage is "forever", so don't settle for "less"

I too recently had an issue wit this age...We still together sha.


Just let him play safe and cool...if the Lady is submissive then there shouldn't be any problem!

Africans will be carrying age on their head like what I don't know......if he doesn't want he should leave the girl alone and stop wasting her time. MATURITY NO BE BY AGE. if there is love and respect and mutual understanding this shouldn't be an issue.....but the ego of "African man" would let them see road... mchew

PS:I dey vex this morning

age is a thing of d mind

u r as old as u feel

actually i have seen a guy that married d midwife that gave birth to him

since ur been dey chop d yam, d age no bother him, why e dey bother him when introduction don reach?

But if him no dey comfortable time still dey for ben johnson

Depends on the age bracket, example, if d girl is 28 n d guy is 26, for me it's OK. However if the girl is 35 n above, believe me, after 2 kids, u won't want to do again.

Na wa

With time, age will become an issue.

Age is just a number. If the only problem he has with the lady is her age, then i dont think there is a problem

Age is not the problem,
But
Can he control the lady in question? Because respect is very important here now since its no longer frienship but marriage.
Now is the guy with the cash because if the lady turns to have more pay than him then yawa fit gas o.
Finally is the Love!

nope

Yes

Yes

Yes

I repeat Yes

He should just forget about the relationship and get someone younger.

Believe me, he will live to regret it if he decide to get married to the girl. Better he call it quit now.

Ideally, the guy should be about 5 years older than the lady. If the lady is older than the guy, the guy will risk always being asked if her wife is her aunt after 2 or 3 delivery.

Note : When you compare male and female of same age, the female always look older ( especially without makeup).

...omo this matter hard gan ooooo, if he has never liked such and he goes about getting married...that is like saying he is an hyprocite but now the matter is based on love though......
My sincere response is he should follow his mind, age is just a normal but if he feels he CANT LIVE with an older lady for the REST OF HIS LIFE...then he should take the EXIT door...marriage is a life affair and its an institution only death can seperate..my 2 cents

me no knw weda My opinion go stop d Intro frm manifestation. but, 2 me, na understanding win am. aside frm age differenx, what about men dat got married to women bigger dan dem in virtually all facet? Op, if dem de compactable, make dem roll. Well sha, we shudn't undermine relativity.

Definitely NOT

It depends on him

How did he discover her age? Did she tell him?

In the course of dating her, has she ever acted to show she is older than him?

I need answers before I can advice.

NOP

Age should nt be.proverb 24 vs 3 and 4;
3. By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; 4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

yes or no

l'âge ne est rien mais un nombre...you get my point??

. FP sure

Yes....
As a MAN , please NEVER u allow d LADY u may want to marry ,have a FORMIDABLE advantage over ...
Because she will never 4GET it when the need arises...

She will always nag at u , reminding u of it...especially when the ROUGH DAYS set in ,in your family...

ALWAYS
..clear the ground to make sure , u have done the BEST...and allow GOD do his...
GOD CREATED ADAM before creating EVE.

A BROKEN relationship is always BETTER than a broken MARRIAGE..
LOVE doesn't put food on the table.
LOVE has expiry and rejuvenation dates, it depends on the condition of the man (wealthy/capable or poor/bed-ridden).

Age fahh
