Marrying your age mate as a man will end up taking 2nd wife in the future, because the lady will look older than the man once they both crossed 45 to 50 years of age. I rest my case

Lack of submissiveness and respect on the part of the woman.
Even my fiance who is 6years younger than me sometimes proves stubborn and unyeilding. How much more if we are age-mates.

Most people speaking for it are married and those against it are single. So OP experience actually matters when answering some marital questions. I'm actually married to my age mate and i am his baby for life, i have never for once regretted marrying him. Men that are older actually wanted marrying me too but he was more matured. So age is not maturity.

Why are so many of you saying it's almost impossible?? Do you mean someone cannot marry his/ her childhood friend/ classmate??

I know many classmates that got married... even childhood friends too...

At 25, some of us already graduated with good jobs... what stops you from marrying at this point??

Hmmmmm.....Nigerians and Age sha.... You have to be good for each other. Age ain't nothing but number. Live your life and be happy that's all that matters. We tend to give up good looks for great personality.All this looks will fade. Personality won't fade but will mature and become stronger and more attractive.

It's not right to marry a girl that is your age mate, because as u both grow old, she will look more older, and people will think she's your mother , ladies age faster than men. grin

Don't marry someone that will pretend to love or respect you just to get ring.

Go for younger one

Balance in a relationship is very important and the first step towards creating balance in a relationship is communication(speaking and listening).The whole point of a relationship is to co-create an environment where both people compliment each other.Having a balanced relationship doesn't mean you agree on everything,make room to disagree,try to understand each others point of view and debate with respect.So you really can't achieve this Balance when you are of the same age as your views and experience of life is almost on the same level,but there are few exceptional cases who scaled through this "Balance" but I tell you it wasn't an easy experience for them.Balance becomes an easy thing to achieve with a gap in the age and as the saying goes "age comes along with wisdom".
This explanation looks like pure BS to me.
I don't see how age hinders this so called balance you're talking about.

If you intend to get married as early as 25 and below the odds are very slim cos you might not have 'blown' by then and girls at that age tend to prefer more stable men mentally and financially. Not necessarily for marriage though but just to have around to tend to their sexual and financial needs in the name of my boyfriend. But once you as a man hit 30 to 35 and all things being equal you are ok financially it's easier to marry a girl your age.
Bold >>> bad advice!
OP, dont mind this oniranu, at 35 find a 17 or 18yr old to marry. Thats best for you and her.

I got married at the age of 28. My wife and I were born the same year. I am 4months older than my wife.

The only problem we have is that we don't have any problem.

Mumu. If you read the OP's questions well you'd realise he was asking a question. I didn't advice him to marry a woman his age. I simply answered his queston from a realistic point of view. Stop reading with one side of your brain. Ode.

What matters is respect for each other and maturity. For me, age is no big deal for me.
my wife and I are age mates, also were classmates in secondary school.
Re: What Are The Odds Of Marrying Your Age Mate? by gentleibraheem(m):
Not yet ready to settle down, but I feel my age mate or slightly older is the sure bet.
I find younger ladies socially immature and uncivilized with misplaced priorities. They're yet to differentiate between what is relevant and not. They lack the ability to make rational decisions on their own.
This is because I want a partner as a wife and not a servant who will always follow orders

Happiness is not all about marrying your age mate,
For me i wouldn't mind to marry a lady that is 15years older than me our happiness is my concern,
I can't swap my happiness with any societal and cultural conditioning of Africa.
