I want your opinion: does a marriage between a 45 year old guy and a 25 year old girl work?

Question

Just looking for popular opinion...and reasons that you think it might or might not work...be detailed. Thanks.

Answer 1

As with any relationship, it depends on the ppl involved. If they truly love each other then, yes, it will work. However, if they only married each other for other reasons, i.e. money, then the flame will go out and it will end up in divorce.

Answer 2

I don't think so, just because of maturity levels. Hes's old enough to be ur dad, so both of u might be looking to live in other states of maturity. But yeah, it COULD work. U might have to work a bit harder at it, but it could. For all I know, the guy acts more like a 25 yr old than a 45 yr old, or vice versa, or maybe the girl was looking for stability, and most young guys don't have that yet, and maybe the older guy was looking for a gal who still liked to party, and older women might not be able to dance all night.

Answer 3

When he becomes a senior citizen you will be a cougar. Do you really want him using his seniors discount card when you go out for dinner when you are 45?

BUT that does not mean it does not wok. I 'dated' a women 15 years my senior once. THAT was just for fun though.

These situations are usually VERY case specific. But in general, most people will site the age difference as a detriment to the relationship. At 25 you have completely different ideas about what life is. 45 year olds tend to be somewhat more settled. Again, that is a generealization and may not relate to you and your situation.

Answer 4

if its a marriage with true love as the reason for marring, age really has no bearing, or it should not atleast,the only things you have to look at are, do u want kids, if so, then u have to realize that he may not be around to help if he is that much older than you are, people are dieing at a very young age these days, in there 50s and 60s, other than that, if you love eachother than go for it, a young woman can make an old man feel pretty young lol

Answer 5

heres my 2 cents worth does a marriage between two 25 year olds work not always marriages work or they dont age is not a major factor compatability with each other is most when im 45 i hope im with a 25 year old to

Answer 6

Of course it depends on the relationship you have....but I think you could have a wonderful marriage. 25 is mature and you have probably successfully experienced single life and are ready. 45 for a man is a good time to marry and have a family and also have properly experienced life as a single person
So I think you're both "marrying age" and will have a successful marriage

Best Wishes!

Answer 7

from experience my daughter is 28 and her fiance is 45. it is working well. it all depends on the woman's maturity. they have a six year old boy. my grandson. they would be married however, sadly, the week of the wedding he took ill and ended up losing both legs. she loves him and we all was by his side so she will stay with him. so remember since he is older you really need to love him and make sure its not just infatuation. we all can take sick at anytime. this may never happen to you honey . i wanted to share this with you. at first i did not like the situation. however, i love my daughter dearly as well as my son. so, if your happy then go for it. it will work if he loves you too. make sure if the relationship is new you get to know him because when your older this is fact/older people are set in their ways ask , people they will tell you. make sure of your situation. does he have children from a former wife or girlfriend? if so this will make you stepmother and you have to be good to his children. they now will be yours as well. you would have to deal with the ex if? he has one. their are alot of things you need to think about and take into consideration. other than that its all up to you!!!!! you have my best. thanks

Answer 8

No no no no You will see when you marry you have different generation problems.It may work but when he is 65 and you are 45 he might have problems you can't handle, like will he have his health to be able to help you lift heavy things or say work around the house.If he stays in shape it might help but a lot I have seen usually don't last.

Answer 9

Not work, age issue is major problem. He may not really want to be chasing little ones around anymore that are his. Another words grand kids is okay. They can go home. Guys at that age are going through midlife crisis. They need to feel they can still get the young girl. But really he is happier down the road with someone more closer to his age. And if he has kids that are your age they can be problem at times.

Answer 10

You would really have to be prepared to help your husband as he may enter a difficult time with his health. I think that marriage works only if the couple is sincere when they pledge for better or for worse. That may be if someone gets an illness and becomes verbally abusive due to stress or pain, if you have disaster strike and loose the shirts off of your backs, ect. You can do it, be sure to seek God's help.
