What answer would you like?
Fake/fairy-tale-ending?
NOOO! It will soooo work! All you need is love! Love will take you to where you want to be! Age isn't an issue; it's just a number! You will live happily ever after!
The truth?
Yes, it's a huge mistake. I'm guessing you're about 20 and he's about 40, right? What are you thinking?! He could be your father. Don't forget that you both are at different points in your life. Twenty-two years is a HUGE age difference! Either way, you both are fooling yourselves into believes that it will work.
You're looking being widowed young. Are you prepared to hear about his sexual history? Is he marrying you just because he wants kids? Are you marrying him just because you want to get married?
Think about both of your intentions before comitting to marriage. Sure, it can work. But you both will go to hell and back many times to make the marriage work.

I would say it would depend on your age. As you get older yourself, the age difference gets more narrow. Say, you're 50 years old and you marry someone 72, not a big deal. But if your 18 and you marry someone 40....that won't cut it. There is such a large culture and social difference that it's hard to have anything in common at that point. But if you're 30 and you find a nice rich partner that you can provide companionship and support for (like Anna Nicole Smith), go for the Big Fish! Godloveya !!!

Nope as logn as there is an understanding if its about money and having a sexy chick on thr dude's arm. Don't want anyone to get hurt out of it. If its for genuine love then who cares about the age diff. So many people are doing it.

I am married to someone who is 16 years older then me.Best decision I ever made.He knows a lot more about life but at the same time treats me like I am on his age level.It's nice to have some one that gives you mutual respect. Go for it girl!

No not at all, if you love someone then age is just a number. If you are both on the same maturity level and both have the same desires about family money etc. and you think it could work then go for it!!!

no, it all depends on your own situation. I dated a woman 23 years younger than me for 5 years.

As long as you feel you are mature enough to know what you want in a mate, and you are in love, it is not wrong. I think love is blind. (not to say that he is ugly, just that it can overlook things that some people might suggest is an issue)

Not a mistake - as long as you're being realistic about the relationship.

You will grow and loose interest. You are in different stages of life. As he grows older and looses certain functions you will become resentful and stray anyway. So why invite that type of pain to your life. Then you will have given the best of your years to an old man and still be resentful.
