Your Parents will not attend the wedding.

I wouldn't oh!

I prefer us do all the silly things young couple do, play pranks on ourselves then grow old together.

@Ifyalways, you can still play pranks with a much older man. It depends on the individual.

Who cares? They aren't the ones getting married!

I can as long as the ladies name is Osas Ighodaro no problem.

There is a well-known (although I'm not at al sure as to how well used) rule of thumb; Gents should marry someone half their age + 7 years.

It's probably based on a number of things, not least fertility, men needing to be somewhat established etc. In principle I get and agree with it, although I wouldn't stick to a set formula.

Given the greater physical travails women go through and my own love of health and fitness, I always figured I'd marry someone at least 10 years younger - even when I didn't really like the idea of marriage. Compounded by the fact that typically exercise was not a key part of most Naija girls lifestyles. They typically start wel, get married, then expand, have kids, then explode. I personally didn't want that.

Naija girls are better now and of course there are always exceptions.


Disclaimer; I take double digits in age from my wife 0! No dullin' !

No, younger..... Yes, Older...

TV, don't just go yabin women.
At least there r reasons for women exploding though it can be controlled but

Yabin women ke? Where?

And you are absolutely right, some men fit take belle explore neigbouring country - without leaving home! But you can't deny the facts and I was only speaking for myself! Some men/women like it that way - big - I am not prescribing a remedy for everyone.

Wifey loves my six pack and often embarrasses me by having a quick feel at the most inappropriate times. I dey suffer eh! What am I, a piece of meat?

My husband is 12 years older than I am. I wasn't comfortable with it initially But he enjoys having a younger babe by his side. Now he has two babies to take care of - our daughter and myself. I still look slim. Sometimes, there r things i could joke with a younger person that he would feel bad about cos of d age difference but since i understood that, weve had things better. People think I'm his younger sister (Last born) but the Best part is he feels lucky and I feel great! The disadvantage is some of his friends and my bosses hit on me codedly and openly! if You're a guy that can't stand another man ogling ur wife regardless of How decent She looks, no try am oh!

I did rather stick with my generation

Yes. once there is mutual understanding, age is just a number.

byvan: I did rather stick with my generation

Lol! Did you marry a young man?

Just curious; don't answer if you do not want to

Ok, lucky you!

Most young brides marry far older men

@ Bukatyne, Yes but older than me though,5yrs difference.

Former Super Eagles star, Kanu Nwankwo(August 1, 1976) and his wife Amarachi (1987) got married in December 2004

Why not
Provided my account is always loaded in millions and he is ready to die soon
.

Afterall politicians, entertainers and even traders r into it.
Gals r not smilling!

Thank God im already married, since my childhood, i have decided, and i stood by my decision.

1. I cant marry any man who is one hour younger than me.
And
2. I cant marry any man who is more than 3 years older than me.

I took the two decisions seriously. There was a guy who could kill in order to win me over, i didn't even allow him to do the "toasting" before i told him off not to bother, all because he was 6 years older than me, on this issue, he fell so sick and almost lost his life begging me, but because of my decision, i only sypathised with him, never gave him chance to even be closer to me unnecessarily.
My own sha o. Thank God i've not and i will not have any cause to regret my marriage.
As per submission, any woman that will not submit to her hubby will not, even if he's 20 years older than her and the one that will submit will do even if she's 8 years older than him.
