I asked this question before and forgot to mention that I am 45 and she is 25. We have been dating for around 6 mths and get along really, really well and I know I am in love. Neither of us has been married before, but I wonder about the age diff. What do you think??

If she is mature enough ( some are and some aren't ) and you are smart enough to know that there are some areas where her views on life will differ greatly from yours and she knows the same of you. then by all means go forward into marriage ..
I believe that all young women should know the cherishing that happens when they are in love and marry.And in my book marrying an older man is a plus ... ( less head games , more settled in life ( they have FOUND themselves ) and they are more able to care for a wife then a younger man who is just starting out both in the workforce and life its self
Age really makes no difference except for maybe in music :)
There was a 32 year age gap in my first marriage ad now there is a 9 year one
Best of luck to you both
Merry Christmas

When would you have children? If its right away, you will be 55 or older when the child is ready for baseball or whatever at age 10?
The clock factor goes up from there. If the children don't marry before they are 25 you will be 75 if you don;t wait to have kids. When you see your first grandchild they might be wheeling you into the nursery wiping the drool out of your mouth if they wait a few years to have kids. You are sceduled to leave this earth before your wife, if age is the only factor. If you are lucky enough for that to happen then you must make sure she and the children are well taken care of she will still have a few good years left. Make sure you see a heart specialist to make sure you don't have any complications which might cause you to have heart attack soon after you are married. If you and she can handle all these things I have just brought up without worry, then go for it!

I would say go for it - remember that she will want a family and her sex drive will be greater than yours over the years. I suggest that you set down and really go over (there are books) the real differences that are now and will be in the future. Young kids around the house, your possible health questions, etc. Don't worry about what people will think if you are happy and have a compatible relationship more power to you.

i think that if you love her then age shouldn't matter. just make sure she feels the same way. six months isn't that long of a time to be dating though and feeling do change. ask her what her intentions are, but without scaring her off. have it come out in general conversation and i wish you the best of luck.
ps my older sister is about to marry a man 20 years her senior and she (and he) couldn't be happier!!!!!

You're both legal, do as you desire. I'd question the ability for the relationship to have longevity but then even people of a similar age don't always stay together long-term.
As long as the two of you are together for reasons you both understand and are kewl with, that's all that matters.

age difference shouldnt be an issue if it IS LOVE for the both of u, if u really do love her u need to ask urself what u think she see's in u like is it ur personality or do u have money i know it sounds harsh but alot of younger women marry older men for their money, but on the same note alot of younger women like older men becoz their more mature and i guess have their priorities in order and stuff! also 6months is alil early for a marriage purposal i mean its still the lust stage of a relationship!

there is no problem dating a female who is so much younger than you it is not the age that matter its the way you feel about the person especially if the person has a great personality and the person love you as much as you love her. i encourage you to go for it and not to let anything stop you do and not to care what othjers say good luck!

age has nothing to deal with being married and being in love does it. no I don't think so age is just a number. If you two are in love then get married don't worry about anything else.

I was married to an older man so here goes....kids? outings? brains? I was young I wanted kids, still enjoyed partying (actually still do), and was made to feel foolish for my lack of life experience. In hindsight I can see where he was coming from, having dated some toy boys.
