In my opinion, it is a safer route for a woman to marry a man that is quite a few years older than her because in his mind, he'll see her as this young hot thing thats his wife. But in my opinion, the other way around does not work b/ the man in his mind will see this old woman as his wife. Me personally, I am twenty and I would definately date a man who is in early or mid thirties and if we wins my heart I would marry him.

my ex is 12 years younger then I am and I have to say my answer is NO. She was too into herself and the kids and would not involve me in family things because I was more settled down and she did not think I would be intrested and most of the time I was not intrested. She wanted to hit the bars and dress like the Hottie she was make the guys lick the ground she walked on. Well the older you get the less you want that kind of life.
I'm pretty happy now with no kids around me and two birds. If I want to go have a drink I don't have to worry about the woman I live with hitting on the guys and dancing all the time. I am too old to beat up 30 year old men that have the hots for my woman.
It is not worth all the problem that come with it.

I think it depends so much on the various age groups, for example:
there's a larger gap between a person of 18 yrs marrying someone of 30 yrs as opposed one 40 yrs marrying someone of 52 yrs.
Also, many factors come into play, differences in socio-economic levels,etc.

I did,actually 13 years older but I was 19 at the time and much wilder than her.We divorced 5 years later but as I"ve matured I have realized that I had made a terrible mistake.She was an awesome wife and wonderful mother,but hind site is 20-20- as they say.Just make sure you are [in love] with your friend and they are not just someone you love to be around.If it is true love or you feel they are your soulmate then hang on to them with everything you have in you!Age shouldent matter.Hope this helps

It would really have to depend. Age is a state of mind...If you don't mind, go right ahead. But here's a few things to think about...are you hoping for kids? Dad may be going to the old folks home about the time the kids are going to college. If that's not an issue...think retirement...he'll be ready to retire a decade before you're there. Only you can know you're heart, and that's what matters. Think through it all....it's a lifetime committment...don't take it lightly, and don't let anyone else pressure you into making a dicision that's not right for you!

Well of course...age is really nothing when it comes to happiness. IN fact, there are many who could not be happy with someone who was NOT considerably older than they. And certainly more than just 12 years. Big deal. Good luck and love to you.

As long as you are not 1 to 15 years old or you are legally of marrying age. Love has not boundaries or condition after that.

Age , colour or race doesn;t matter as long as you are ready to spend your whole life with him . But age can be beneficials in mature and understanding between the couple . I would say go for it if you think he is the right person for you
