Age is no barrier, my brother, sebi, you are even some months older than her, i have seen those whom their wives are older than, and they got married, enjoying their marriages to the fullest, carry on, since you have seen what you want in her, you love her and she does too, and even ready to settle down with you, what else are you looking for.
Wishing you goodluck, bro.

Age matters o, except u are referring to bf/gf relationship, bt for marriage, it does. Marriage goes beyond wat u feel for each oda now, think abt the next 10-15 years (den tink abt d next 30yrs). Pls compare men and women of 45-50yrs old, compare there looks, mental state, loyalty, emotional status etc. At 50, most women look older (more matured) than their male counterparts and most times wud hv lost interest in s*e*x, bt men even at 70 stil chase 25yrs old gals. Have u eva tot abt the reasons for extra-marital affiars? Men who marry women dey are 5-10ys older dan at some points stil feel lik going afta oda younger gals, talk more wen d woman is older.

I will say it for the zillionth time, love is nt d most important tin in marriage (dats wat d media has made us believe), there are so many oda important (more important tins) to look out for.

you're older than her by a month, what's the question?

if you're not comfortable with it, then what exactly are we supposed to do, spell it out.

I have seen people who are age-mates have beautiful marriages for as long as possible.You shouldn't be worried about age if she fits the profile of the one and if she isn't worried about it too.

The only issue i see is that she might be ready for marriage when you are not yet.Besides,since you think its still four years away,just enjoy the moment wink

Re: How Important Is Age Difference In A Marriage by BabaOyo(m): 12:34am On May 02, 2013
Your fear i believe shouldn't be about how you guys will cope together as a couple but about your physical compatibility.
Women tend to age faster than men of the same age...after a while.
Focus on easing her stress and doing all it takes to keep her as young as ever. ....so you can both age gracefully.
I understand you both might be in university still studying, hence the four year time frame for marriage. If you both good together as you said, you have a lot of work to do in those four years ahead. ...make sure you" befriend" her in the real sense of the word. Have no fear,it will be well.

The myth that women age faster than men is a lie. It all boils down to genes. Some 18yr olds look 30, while some 30yr olds look 18. And this applies to both men and women. Focus on finding a woman who you know your life would be incomplete without. Age should not be a barrier. Will your tombstone or wedding IV read "Duke naija weds/wedded a woman older/his age mate?". Life is what you make of it. Those who enjoy life don't restrict themselves by outsiders opinion or bias. Most people giving advice or criticizing you for your choice, you would be surprised to find out their life is in shambles if you look deep. Be with who makes you happy, but don't make her wait 4yrs. She most likely will move on soon.
