Love has no boundaries. Age, appearance, race, profession, etc. does not matter when you are in love. And what is love.....you'll know when you find it!

A 47 yr. old man with 3 children wants to marry a 22 year old.
I'm sorry but I have so little respect for a man that age who pursues a relationship with a woman young enough to be his daughter. And why a young, vibrant 22 year old would want to settle down with a 47 yr old man is beyond me. Maybe she's looking for a father figure. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. So no, I don't think it would be in her best interest to marry him.

Love knows no boundaries, hon, and it's often not logical at all. It's chance, Fate, and it's learning to not judge a book by its cover. They see through all of that to the heart of the matter--that they love each other dearly and want to spend the rest of their lives together. My sister-in-law married a man at least 12 years older than she is, a single father of a grown daughter (in college when they started dating), and they are without a doubt absolutely perfect for each other. They fit each other like hand and glove. If ever there is such a thing as soul mates, these two are it. It can and does happen.
What is love? If you don't know sweetie, you've never been in it. It's caring for someone above and beyond yourself. You want the best for them, for htem to be happy. To be IN love is like the greatest high. You want to be with that person all the time, you want to be close to that person, body mind and soul. Being with that person makes you deliriously happy.

Only they know the answer.
Love is...
Treating each other with respect and the way you want to be treated.
Treating the other person as if anything that hurts them-hurts you.
Taking the other person's side for appearances even if you disagree.
Being able to confide and talk to this person about ANYTHING, just as if you are talking to yourself. (being best friends)
Not feeling that anyone else can compare to this person and that its impossible to be happy without this person.
If you want to get technical, love is just another emotion you get when you are around a potential soul mate or the real one. The trick is finding the real one.

Love can exist between them, yes, but that is a huge difference. Successful marriages rely a lot on a common history. They don't have one--- movies that she knows, aren't things he would have ever seen, music she grew up with, he'd probably hate. And, it is likely that he would die leaving her a widow. In her place, I would choose a younger man... Wrong? No. Just not wise on her part, nor his. The lack of commonality would leave them little to talk about....

damn thats a bigger age gap than my dad and i - i think the guy would b happy to get the attention from someone younger than his own kids....being a step mum wouldnt work for her tho. Would he want more kids at that age, hes nearly ready to retire? And in 20 years shes still young and he wants to do retiree things what then? i think its stupid and in most cases wouldnt last! Also i think she must have low self esteem and missed out on a father figure growing up.

I married someone 17 years older. We have been married for 25 years. I'm not saying it's good for everyone. In fact it was great when we were younger. Now, well,things happen you don't think of when you're young. We didn't have children.I glad we didn't. Life would have been harder.

I think it wont last and she will feel cheated of her youth
Love is that closeness that doesnt leave in the worst of times
Good Luck and God Bless!!
