In my part of country.. A lady in her late twenties is almost gone...i mean from 27-30...she should be happy getting you.

Guy move on with your life...there are so many of them you will get even at 23-25.

She should know in a couple of years,she will be considered getting expired for marriage

Not necessarily but you can't disregard the correlation between age and wisdom

If Marriage/relationships need some sort of age related wisdom to sustain expected bumpy rides then surely age being the key variable can act as the damper effect where necessary

You are the one who should be freaked out. Any woman over the age of 27 and not married yet is a no go zone. Men have not married her for a reason if not many reasons. (ignore her regular bull-crap of "I hadn't met my soul mate yet"wink
Chances are she has been used, abused and refused far too many times. Is that a kind of thing you would want your children to have for a mother?

Once met a 47yr old man asking for a relationship while I was in my mid 20's.
I had to go for deliverance, fasted for 21days to fight every curse laid by an enemy that led to someone my mum's age asking my hand in marriage.
Op 10yrs diff is actually too much btw why did u have to wait till u were approaching 40 before thinking of settling.

If does not agree, its better you go separate ways since you'll find someone else that will love you for who you are.
Re: Can Age Be A Barrier To Love And Marriage? by Jamean(f): 8:16pm On Jan 13, 2015
To me it's a barrier...3-7years age gap is just appropriate.

Not that a man of 37yrs will want to marry a 23yrs old lady. angry

Please, it's wife of your youth, not wife of your old age.

You are a fool. I'm sure you are one of those who use women that way but then when it's time to settle down, you need fresh meat. I pray innocent girls don't end up with your type angry angry

Age shouldn't be an issue wen it comes to love and marriage except one of the parties is old enough to be the father or mother of the other. To me urs is ok.

Re: Can Age Be A Barrier To Love And Marriage? by JonCina(m): 8:22pm On Jan 13, 2015
It shouldn't have been an issue for her since she was so into you before she knew your age. Nevertheless, maybe she had for a long time fantasized and agreed/made up her mind on the age range of her husband. Anything out of that will cause serious cognitive dissonance for her.

Personally, i had in mind of marrying a girl younger than me by at least five years. I met a lady i liked and was developing interest for marriage. The last hurdle was a way to know her age surreptitiously. I found a way to do it as i asked her when she finished secondary school, while we were talking of secondary school things. To my surprise, i found out she finished a year or two before me. Immediately, my interest waned since i knew i had fixed my mind on the age bracket of my wife and couldn't manage the dissonance that will come with marrying her.

That's mine, people differ. That could be her reason. If that's her reason, forget her & march on to the next likely prospect.

On my case PERSONALLY, i have gotten someone within the age range i want, i have done all required traditional and we will both say YES on the 11th of April- BY THE GRACE OF GOD.

Best of luck bros!

Age is the least of my barrier ooo, i prefer older men sef, not all this omo mummy, for me 10yrs is lovely, matured guys are so so so romantic, so caring, so understanding. so many girls saying they cant are either in their teens or early twenties, @OP for a girl in her late twenties, she doesn't know what she really !wants or maybe she doesn't like you. Pls try and forget about her, there are many fishes in the river. There are just so many of us that you can't finish toasting till you go back to mother earth.

Is a nice idea u av come to seek for advice and people's opinion on this vey sensitive matter.I bet you there are countless people who are out there going through similar predicament as you,some have sought into getting advice from the wrong personS and suffered unbeaable pains and loss,while some in one way or the other have been opportuned to use their God's given wisdom coupled with good advice from well Wishers to make thei lives and relationship a bed of roses. Now bruhda here is my advice for you is as simple as this,any relationship that stats with pity would need pity to sustain it and in one way or the other one will get tired on the pity,any relationship that starts with lies will surely need lies to maintain it,I need not tell you how such relationship will end. Love is a mutual affair and a very sensitive one at that,you can't force anyone to love you or feel anying for you,all you need to do is be youself,be caring,loving,understanding,give as much attention as possible and got your policies that isn't easily broken I bet you wheather the winch in her village likes it o not you see the love been reciprocated. Don't think the different in age should pose a problem between you,if she doesn't love you no matter what you do or say she isn't gonna love you back but could aways come up with excuses. I wouldn't advice you,you cajole her to marry you out off her will,don't thing about youself only think about her too. There aree cases where girls marry men twices their father's age and even go as far as screwing thei grand father's age al in the name of sugar daddy.if she says you old for her,let her go,look fo some other person who will appreciate you just the way you are.
