What Should Be The Ideal Age Difference Between Intending Couples? by IamBornToWin(f): 6:57am On Nov 20, 2017 |
Hi Nairalanders, please what should be the ideal age difference between a man and a woman that is about to get married because my brother who was born on 8th Oct 1984 is about to get married to a lady born on 6th June 1985. My parents are not in support of it because they beleive that the lady will age more faster after child birth and may be looking far older than my brother. |

They are not in support because your brother opened his wide mouth to tell them. Abi were they the midwives that took delivery of her on 6th june 1985? Their problem na how she go age, so...she can make your brother's life horrible, but she shouldn't age. 1 Like |

izzou: I restrained myself from saying the brother is a loudmouthed baby. E remain to tell them the mileage of her kpekus. Some guys like older ladies, some just find themselves connecting with an older woman. What matters is the respect, love and understanding between both. 1 Like |

People say age is just a matter of numbers, I don't often agree. When the rubber hits the road, you will know. In my opinion, anything ABOVE ten (10) years where the guy is older or five (5) years where the woman is older is NOT acceptable. However, there's absolute nothing wrong in your brother's case. But you see, ultimately, you will love who you will and nobody can do much about it. |

IamBornToWin: He is older than her but ur parents have a point. A girl ages faster esp after child bearing so a girl of 25 years is like age mates to a Man of 30 year n will need a man of 35 years n above for them to age together @ same rate other things being equal. In marriage a woman needs a man 5 to 20 yrs older than her n vice versa. Age is nt a number BC menopause is always there to tell you, u r old. Beyond this other factors such as love, character, job, education etc must be considered |

In Aaliyah's silky voice (rip), *age ain't nothing but a number...*. If they love and respect each other, and are both two consenting adults, her being a year older shouldn't be a big deal and it really isn't. Your parents are probably making it one b/c they don't like her. Besides, even if she does look older after having a baby b/c she doesn't have the resources (gym membership/workout regime, better eating plan, etc) to take care of herself, she will still likely outlive the husband anyway b/c women have a longer life expectancy than men, despite all the stress we endure. 2 Likes |

Is it in age but in compatibility and respect. As long as they would respect each other. Ageing is a gene thing. I bumped into a 60 something year old lady in church yesterday and she was looking 40. I have seen younger ladies look way older than their age. |

Re: What Should Be The Ideal Age Difference Between Intending Couples? by Nobody: 1:20pm On Nov 20, 2017 |
sinaj:exactly, thing is many Nigerian ladies don't bother to keep fit after child birth, the reason for the ageing. Just like the men consume more beer, eat loads of starch with less exercise and later grow with "pot bellies". Another factor is the genetic makeup |

The logivity of our existence on earth is soo overated. People want to enjoy 100years of marriage. I say; Get rich, enjoy everyday of your married life to the fullest. Love your spouse to the fullest like he or she may die the following day. Life is too short, but long enough if you are in control of yours. By Grace of God, my own 5years into marriage would be more fun-filled, loved-filled, and satisfactory than most people's 50years of marriage. If you take these words seriously, then a man could marry a woman older than he is. Even if she gets old or dies before he does. Provided Love and other more appropriate parameters exist between them. |

jaychubi:Is it only menopause that can affect child bearing? Are there no couples that have 10 years interval say the husband 33 the wife 23 that are having issues with child bearing? Do you wan to give birth every year of your life? On average what age is menopause -45, the woman here is about 32. Are you saying she can't have all the children she desires within 13 years. You are silly you know! 1 Like |

majekdom2: If u dnt want a child I agree completely but for ppl like me dt is getting married BC of children age is nt a number. I can't afford a childless marriage. A woman above 28 is too old already for me |

Your brother should follow his heart. Unless your parents want a baby wife that be calling their son "daddy". The Duke and duchess of Cambridge are Age mate. Kate was born 9 of January 1982 while William was born 21 of June 1982. If the peace in the home, the woman will age gracefully. |
