Do You Think Age Is Just A Number When Choosing A Life Partner? by jovialmum(f): 7:48am On Dec 03, 2014 |
Religiously, marriage is a respectable institution ordained by God where a man will leave his parents and siblings and clinch to his wife for procreation. Based on this definition of marriage, AGE is just a number cos AGE does not have any place here. It is just an agreement between man and woman to live together and produce kids. Socially, " AGE BEING A NUMBER" is a practical saying in white man's country. It is practicable cos of their belief and environment. To them marriage is defined according to rules and regulations, each participant knows his or her role as a person. There are so much respect and regard for women which cancelled the old saying that women are the weaker sex. To me it is an acceptable and practicable phenomenone based on their culture. Unlike Africa in which most marriages of older sex is targeted on INFLUENCE , eg financial and otherwise. The man must have attended some level of financial height which attracts the young girl. Our men also believe in "a man is a stronger sex", no matter the age of a man, he can still satisfies a woman sexually while a woman is believed to be occupied with family activities which do not give enough room for sexual desire (african mentality) but to me these ladies get intimidated by culture cos the same desire goes to them too. Most of the times it does not work out the way it started. The younger, most times feel CAGED and always see the need for freedom. In african settings, POVERTY LEVEL determines 90% older marriages. I'm not saying that individual feelings should not be respected. In Africa, most young girls that go into marrying older men end up in regret. When they must have attended the financial satisfaction, they now see the other aspects of life that money cannot take care of. Furthermore, our younger men that travel overseas to marry older ladies most times feel like killing their wives just to inherit the wealth. Marriage should be unconditional, every conditional marriages end up in REGRET. I strongly believe in AGE MATE MARRIAGES, firstly, nature must obey necessity. What i mean by AGE MATE MARRIAGE not necessarily, you must be of the same age BUT atleast the GAP DIFFERENT must be of some limits. The SEXUAL LIFE of human being is HIGHLY determined by AGE. Thus, the much GAP in AGE may lead one party to temptation. What prompted this write-up is that most posts go thus. (1) I'm 18 and fall in love to a man of 45 or 50 pls advice me is AGE a barrier (2) I'm 30 i fell in love to a boy of 20, pls can i marry him. Responses are always FOLLOW YOUR HEART, AGE IS JUST A NUMBER. My dear, quite sure AGE IS A NUMBER but the GAP DIFFERENCES matter alot. It sometimes ends up in REGRET especially when it comes to SEXUAL ABILITIES as you progress in AGE, and which may eventually leads to INFIDELITY . DON'T BE DECEIVED. My own views anyway, you can equally air yours too.i will be glad to learn and hear you own view?

Yes, its just a number. My opinion though. There are a lot of other serious problem to deal with and age sometimes isnt one of them, although we cant entirely rule it out but it all depends on the individuals involved. Everyone should love who they want however it pleases them and not living your life for society cos society wont help you when you need him, you alone can help yourself. Can you always please society (humans)? I guess not. |
