An age difference of eight years is not unusual at all.

The real questions are

1) Do you love and respect each other?
2) Do you make each other laugh?
3) Do you make each other feel better about yourselves?
4) Do you want to have children together and raise them together?

I just had a friend who was in a relationship with a 32 yr. man and she is 22. Everything went well for the first couple of months and they even were looking at rings and talking about having a baby but after eight months he said he still needed to find himself and now they are no longer together which for her is best because he really started to treat her bad emotionally.
Hopefully the two of you do not have problems like that.
Just make sure both of you are in the same spot and don't think you need to get married right away because if you love each other then you can wait.
And age is fine as long as both people know what they want in life and love.
Good luck and I wish both of you the best!

That is a good age (maybe). What would be more important is are you "both" stable? Does he have a good job, can this relationship be build on. How long have you known him? 1-2 years is best. Do you have the same values?
We all tend to over look the obvious when we believe we are in love. Marriage is a serious commitment take your time.

It is a good age for him to get married but it may not be for you. Because you are 22 years old you may go through more changes personally and mentally. He has already gone through these changes and knows what he wants in life and a relationship. What you want and need may change as the months and tears go by. He may not be able or willing to fill those needs. If you feel that you can stay with him through whatever growth you may do down the road, then go for it. If not then maybe it is not a good time.

Yes, my husband and I were the same ages when we started dating. We had alot of disagreements because we were at different stages in life and we had been raised in *slightly* different times. But on the whole an older man brings some things to the table that a younger man just isn't mature enough to.

It's a great age, he's pretty much at a settled age. 30 isn't exactly middle age, so you should be able to enjoy the same things together.

Wish you lots of luck and a happy life.

It shouldn't be all about the age...how mature are you or he for that matter....at 22 you may still have some single life experiences you would miss out on if you married now...weigh the pros and cons and let them decide what your ready for at this time in your life...good luck.

This is no great disparity in age. If you love each other enough to share your lives, then as the NIKE slogan goes 'Just Do It'.

You are both at good ages to get married. I did when I was twenty one and still am to the same person!

Consider that you are likely to outlive him by 3 years anyway, and with such an age differential it could easily be 12-15 years alone at the end of your life. That said, you'll likely ignore most other folks opinions anyway, and marry whomever you choose, regardless of age differentials

No, because you are still working on finding out who you are. I got married at 21 and it has been a lot of hard work to make sure this marriage works (5 years in July), and we think we are soulmates. You are still too young to get married. Please, wait. It is entirely possible for the marriage to work, but if he truly is the one, he'll wait until you are really mature enough for marriage.
