Pls be honest in your opinions and try to give good reasons for why U think so. She's 31, I'm almost 25. Are we bound for trouble ahead? Will we age differently? What problems/advantages do you see in a situation like this? In case U're wondering, yes we do love each other-i know that matters the most, I'm just trying to stay one step ahead of any problems that we might face...If any of U have been at a similar standpoint in their life, pls do give details...:P

6 years is nothing. Nothing I tell you.
There is a similar space between my husband and I, 5 1/2 years. There is absolutely nothing extreme about that age gap. It's barely even a gap. You will keep her young.
Honestly!

I've never been at a similar point in my life, but I can say this: if you love each other as you say you do, then go ahead with it. Talk to her earnestly, find out her opinions on the matter, and decide whether you can try and peek into the future a little.
Women mature differently to men, and are quite often sexier older, than when younger, so I wouldn't think about that part much. The most important thing is to think about what you have in common, and what your common goals are.
Does she want kids, or will she in four years time? Is she a career woman, motivated and organized, do you think you will have changed as a person by the time you catch up to 31.
If you think about it honestly and realise you can't see yourself wanting anyone else in your life, regardless of age and beauty, then go fullsteam ahead, and I wish you the best of luck.

My mother married my step father and he was 19 years older than her.....does age matter? Only if you want it to! They were married 18 years (until death they parted..and it was my mother who died first) Do I think there was any problems...no not one he loved her and she loved him. A five year age range is so minimal in the whole range of things at your age....your both still young enough to have children if you want them (that would be the only thing I could think that could be a problem in older women....but 31 is young). Please live every day like its your last and enjoy it....dont let little things like a 5 year age difference make you step back and think twice.....If it is love then it is love (marriage is a give and take and hard work no matter what age you are. as long as you both are adults and talk through things together one year or 20 years difference should not matter.) Be happy live life to it's fullest enjoy.

What could be wrong with two people who love each other, wanting to be together. Age is a state of mind anyways. The age difference is not really noticeable at your ages. If he or she was 50 and the partner was 20, i might be concerned. But not 6 years. It is but the blink of an eye in time. Do your thing. I cant see any problems for you, you got LOVE.

I think its fine. My cousin is getting married this year. She is 24 and her husband to be is 34. I have never seen her happier. This guy is so much more than any of the other guys she has been with and their age diffrence is not a problem for them. If you have a problem with the age then it will be a problem. If you are madly in love and could care less what other people think and only what you feel in your heart, then I say go for it. You can only follow the heart when it comes to love. Age knows nothing when it is True Love!!!

Loving each other is most important. Any problems will be overcome by the love. I would get on that baby thing fairly soon though. After 35 there is an increase in the chance of having babies with problems, like Down's Syndrome. Good luck

Just ask her to marry you. and when she says yes, be happy... because there is no way to stay ahead of problems no matter how much advice some one can give, trying to do that is inviting problems to enter your realationship.
The key words you used is that YOU BOTH LOVE EACHOTHER. I am 42 and my girlfriend is 35, and we love one another with all our hearts. When we are out together, weather it is at the movies, restaurant, supermarket, no matter where, our Love for eachother shows. Love will conquer all, Have faith in the Lord, and believe that your love you share with your girlfriend will grow stronger.

At your age the difference isn't that much. As as you age it'll mean even less. But I'm wondering if there's a deeper issue at hand for you to be asking this question. If you're in love, have a solid relationship and want to be with her forever then you should get married.

I see no problems with it at all.
I think that will all of the modern creams and face gels, no one will even know about the age difference unless you tell them.
Men have been doing this for years (look at Donald Trump and Hugh Hefner to name a few).
I believe that as long as you keep your 'well meaning' friends out of it, your relationship will be one that will work out perfectly

At 25, it is no big deal. As years go on, the difference in your age will become even less important. I can't imagine any hardships or problems from an age gap that small.
Go for it.
