Hello council of Nairalanders.
My girlfriend and I have been dating for 4 years now, and we are thinking of tying the knots in another 1 or 2 years. However, we are experiencing serious resistance from her parents due to our age difference. She's older than me with 14 days, and her parents believe it's enough reason for us not to get married. I work in a firm where I earn over a hundred and fifty thousand naira every month, and she works with an agency in Lagos state, so we are quite comfortable and well to do. Her parents are even yet to acknowledge that I'm in the picture because they believe it's never going to happen. We are ready to fight together till we make them understand that age has never and will never be a barrier to our happiness and future because we communicate, understand, and easily correct each other. A lot of people are still amazed at how much we still love even after 4 years, because we don't get enough of one another. We have talked everyday for the last 4 years, gone through the good, bad and ugly times, We have never cheated. We also lived together for six months during our final year in school, so we have an idea of how living together is, and we practically live each other's life... Every single day. So, I believe one or two persons would have been in this situation too. Hence my tabling it before you for serious advice. Thanks.

14 days? Mtchew !!! Let her parents go & sit down down. They are jokers.

Why did you tell your parents her age? This is a beautiful relationship.

I know a prominent man of God in the country whose wife is older than him. Till today, just a few handfuls knows this, you even know this person i'm talking about. Their marriage is over 30 years old. You better marry that girl so you don't regret

14 years difference no be joke oo but love conquers all.

How about your parents?

ntin is actually wrong wt dat, u guys shudnt gv up.

Na old school parents be this oo...love conquers all....when there is love wetin be age....to hell with age.....make dem understand she loves u and u love her too..with much pressure from both of u...dey will accept to Ur terms..... that's if Una live one another....if not make Una scatter straight

Why are her parents so closed-minded? It's just 14days, that's two weeks. Love, respect, compatibility and willingness to be together is what matters most here. The both of you are mates and your ages difference in weeks doesn't matter.

How about your parents?

they approve of our relationship 100%. They saw how responsible I started behaving shortly after I met her.

I am talking about Old age bro.
Except she is the sporty type, she will get old faster than you and it will be so obvious.

Let Love Lead though but I am wondering, how old are you self that a your girl is 14-year older than you?

14 days, not years...thanks

my friend, ur relationship is good and in order.
However, never ever say nobody has cheated again. It is wrong to wholly vouch for another person.

Go with your fiancee to talk in and discuss together with her parents, if it results to no avail.

Then your parents should give a try,

Discussion of elders could help.

Not a problem at all, keep insisting with her parents, they would one day give in.
