It depends on many factors.
My husband is 27 years my senior and we are absolutely happy. We love each other very much, and there is nothing we would like to change about each other.
But there are several factors that influence the success of my marriage.
1. I never belonged to my generation.- I'm an only child, and I always preferred the conversation/company of adults. I found children stupid. When I was a teenager, I found teenagers stupid, and as an adult, I do not sympathize with adults my age, except for a few exceptionally mature for their age friends.
2. I always had an interest in getting married and raising a family. Partying was NEVER important in my life.
3. I always found older men attractive.
4. I was totally sure of what I wanted and I was mature to accept the responsibilities that come with marriage.
I have known many marriages in which the man is significantly older than the woman, all of those marriages are very stable and happy. I'd dare to say happier than those that marry their peers. But it is up to the woman to set the mood of the marriage.
If she still wants to party and behave like a "kid" she would be better off not doing it.

You obviously have doubts to ask in the first place?
As far as I am concerned age is just a number. If they love each other and are devoted to each other what is the problem. The only thing is 22 is quite young to be married, I know as I was married then and am now getting a divorce. The man I married was not who I thought he was, maturity allowed me to see that. Tell them to wait, if they are that in love, they will stand the test of time whether they are married or not.

Lets see first are you looking for a daddy figure, second any man who marries somebody twenty some years younger than he is.............has a so called " little girl fettish", meaning a woman his age appears to be aged baggage, looks to old, has to much control of her own life, and if he is willing to pursue and forgive me a twenty year old little girl, then he'd stoop low enough to go 18 years old. SO then imagine he'd be with a woman who has an 18,19 year old daughter his eyes would be on that daughter and not the mother ( first sign of a pervert). and think about this when your 40 he is going to be freaking 80 years old almost my gawd do you really want that, You are to to young to be interested in a man who is 40 I am sure there are plenty of men your age or just a little older if you give it a little time. It took me over 18 years to find the perfect man. He is out there don't let some 40 year old be your daddy. Because he can't accept that all women AGE even you

i really don't care about the age difference but 22 is too young to get married to anyone. i'd say stay together 5 more years and if you still feel the same then do it. so many marriages don't last these days. if you can stay together for 5 years without a marriage then you might as well. i'm 28 and the idea of marriage still freaks me out.

I see no reason as to why not to if you have seriously given the idea thought. Marriage is for those that will back their partner through thick and thin. The age doesn't say much except that he is going to need patience with the young woman. I am in a relationship with a 34 year old woman and she has to use patience with me. She says I do young acting things, but she really can't complain because I am young. I love her so I attempt to handle those areas so things do not become a hassle.

some ppl might think that is alright as they have same interest/ liking and common things to discuss everyday and some even love more mature man..as they say the older the wiser...However, some might not like it coz they think that a man older than a girl by 18 years can even be her bigger brother...so, that's up to the person to make the decision...that's just my point of view tho =)

I supose as long as you really love each other. I'd probably wait a few more years though. 22 is really young to get married.

If you love the guy the right way and you are mature enough to handle a " grown up" relationship' Go for it. If you want to party and play this might not be the right thing. Check yourself and make sure this is what you want.

it is individual choice but the gap should not be more than 5 years that is ideal. when you are 55-60 what will be age of men and can he give the company to you at that age.

Think of your children when they are 10 years old their father will be 50 and should be their granddad.
