Am a 30 years old guy,who intends getting married latter this year.but my fiancee has been feeling insecured because she is 2 years older than i am.i have evaluated myself and am convinced that i love her.she is good mannered,beautiful and a good cook,which to me makes a wife material.my fears are (1)what the opinion and gossips of the society would be if they find out she is older than i am, (2) would it affect my ability to stamp my authority as a man vis-à-vis the head of the home,when a small voice keeps telling me my wife is older than i am.please kindly advice me.do i go ahead and marry her,or is there a repercussion for a man who marries a lady older than he is? Thanks.

I kinda have this situation too. I'm here for advise

Age is number my dear, 2 years is not much.

Age is nt a barrier..if you luv ha dere z ntn dere..

No age isn't a barrier since its not more than two years
If you have all it takes to be the head of your home you won't have any problems being the man. If she has all those qualities of which a younger girl might not even have then I will say go for it.
As for the society they won't come into your home if you don't invite them, A popular adage says if there are no cracks/crevices on the wall then the lizard won't come in. Be yourself and above all exude maturity and confidence,no one will know the age difference if your carriage is good.
Wish you the best!!

Forget society n authority got nothing to do with age man!

Age is no barrier if you genuinely love the lady in question from your part




But if the lady is scared, ask her why? And do keep reassuring her with ur words and actions that all is gonna be well

If u feel u want to b a dominus to ur wife den pleas marry a woman who is younger dan you...

You are the man, if u feel convenient wit it.. Den what are u waiting for.

Age has nothing to do wit marriage, wat matters is luv and understanding. We have grt men of God who married older women and we also hv grt men in d society who r married to older women


Am in dis too...By Gods grace too, I will also be getting married to a nice lady who's also 2 yrs older....But who cares...Only both of us knows who is older. So go ahead so long u luv her and won't use it against her anytime.

@op nothing do you. But let the age matter remain between the two of you. Just assure her of ur love.

OP age difference shouldn't be a barrier btw u and ur love...love is the greatest...ur confidence and ability to stamp ur authority as d head matas a lot...when ur love is humble and submissive den u both ar gud to go...nobody wil come and ask for ur birth certificate or dat of ur wyf to know whose is older...d issue of age difference is only gonna be a chemistry btw u and ur love...

you can die if you marry an older lady

Age can be a huge barrier some times. I don't expect an adult to tell me he wants to marry a toddler or a sixteen year old girl profess undying love for an 80 year old man.

However, in your case you seem to be bothered about what people say. If you know you won't be able to handle gossips about the age difference when they do occur then it certainly will be a barrier and I won't encourage you to go ahead with it.

Better to part ways now that it hasn't gotten so deep (I presume) than make the lady's life a living hell later on.

Yes it is
I can't marry someone am older than
When you ageing faster than your hubby that's when you go know whatsup

C'mon do d nidful wit her nd snd us d wddin pishure
