Answer 2

I once married a man 14 years older than me. I think that the age gap will create problems. The 24 year old is still learning and living life. The 46 year old is having a mid life crisis and is excited to have a 24 year old girlfriend to brag about. The common interests are not there. It also could be that the 24 year old is afraid of being alone and if that person has children, she may be overwhelmed and looking for an easier way in life. My marriage lasted just over a year. I found that I already had a daddy and didn't need another one. Don't settle for less that you want. Trust me when I say, when that 24 year old is in her 30's, he'll be considered a senior citizen and whatever he has to offer at this moment, won't be as appealing then.

Answer 3

All other things being equal, I think the age disparity will tend to present to the marriage a small stressor that the marriage would not otherwise have to endure. The question to ask is whether the female possesses traits associated with her youth that are likely to become intolerable to the man, and whether the man has traits associated with middle age that the woman is likely to find intolerable. If no, the age difference is probably of little significance, and it will become less important as time goes by.

Answer 4

Nothing wrong with this at all. I know of a 20 year old who married a 52 year old and that marriage is going really strong 9 years into it. I know a few other's where there is a 12-15 year age gap, and those marriages are also strong.

Answer 5

I don't think we should allow society to dictate age restrictions in relationships. There is a 21 year age gap between my boyfriend and I (I'm 27). I have never been happier in my life. Just like with any relationship, it needs to have the essentials like trust, understanding, communication, interests, goals, etc. If those elements are in place, then nothing else matters. Love is the greatest feeling in the world, and age shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing it.

Answer 6

My first husband was five years older than I and I was amazed at how our outlooks and differences were so apparent. Even the music we liked and related too was different. That was just 5 years! My present husband and I are only one month apart, and its so different. I can't imagine making love to a man old enough to be my father, but thats me, this is you and I assume you don't mind the stares. In the end you might as well make yourselves happy.

Answer 7

I'm 27 and my husband is 39. When your young like me you think that age doesn't really matter. But I've been with my husband since I was 16. When we were younger it was ok. But now he's getting older, very insecure because of his age, always accuses me of cheating, when that is the very last thing that crosses my mind. Everything changes as WE get older. We realize that people change. Sex changes, and I feel men go through menopause in their own way. Don't do it.

Answer 8

Depends on the maturity of the woman, Age is nothing, she is an adult and if they have common goals and are in love then, theres nothing wrong with it, everyone has a different opinion, but its what they feel and how they are together,As long as she can handle the age diff as they get older its all good.

Answer 9

I won't knock it because in my early twenties I used to date guys in their late thirties to early forties. I won't say I ever considered marrying them because most were divorced and I wanted to marry someone who, like me, had not been married before. It won't be an easy relationship for them, however - that's a huge span of years and two very different levels to be on. One person has a lifetime of experience, the other is still trying to find their way.

Answer 10

I think it is just fine.I am 39 and my hubby is 54! We started dating when I was 16 and he was 31.Have been together ever since and we are very happy together.Plus we have two beautiful boys.

Answer 11

If you are really in love with him and willing to honor your vows, Go for it.
Just consider things 20 years from now. Please consider the future now. When he is 76, your going to 54. He won't be too anxious to take off to Hawaii; but you will be tanned and ready to go! Just think about it. If you believe you can handle it, go for it.
