Men's average age of death is 75.02.
Women's average age of death is 80.82.
So, if you were to plan a life so that you both would die near the same age you would want a man who's 5 years younger than the woman.
In my opinion I find sucessful relationships having the man up to 5 years older than the women or have the man up to two years younger than the woman. This allows them to SHARE a life. Older ranges result in the woman being a "Nurse" while extreemly younger men tend to force the woman to be a "Baby Sitter" ... I really want a life that I'm sharing instead of playing some stupid role.

Ah, but women tend to live longer, so marrying an older man means you increase the chance of ending up as a widow.
You should marry the person you love, age is irreleavant.
Take care : )

Don't marry someone because You feel the "look" is right. You need to marry someone because they are right for you, you are in love...etc...I know you probably already know that. I don't see anything wrong in an older woman with a younger man....men do it all the time so why can't women? Go for it if he makes you happy.

The question is put to us as knowing that women quickly age faster than men - I would like to see proof of that statement before I could say that yes, that is a true statement and that women should marry younger men.

Women mature faster then men do.....through addolence, but after 20 or so, the difference is not as noticeable. However women live longer than men do by about 5-6 years in general. So it depends on how you want to look at it.
My advise......don't go after a man because of his age.....go after a guy you have a genuine interest in, someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. It's not he lenght of your years.....it's the life in your years!

I highly recommend it. I have had a husband my own age whom I adored but died young.
I had a husband 11 years my junior. We raised 2 daughters. Alas he was irresponsible, it was not age related.
I had a husband 10 years my senior. NO ONE ever made me feel more secure protected or feminine.
I had a husband 24 years my junior. He and I were forced to part because of immigration problems. It was not a happy move. But age was not a big thing in our love.
The man I see now is 18 years my junior. I do not seek them younger, it just happens. In Islam a mature woman is often much more desirable for some reason or another. Don't ask me why but I ain't complaining!
However for a younger woman who is seeking marriage, it is nice if the man is perhaps about 5 years older. Maybe more of course, that is minimal. This makes him just that much more reliable and mature for her.

my husband is 5 1/2 yrs younger than me. he's more mature than my ex, who was 5 yrs older than me.
age is one of the most irrelevant factors in determining the sutability of a partner (as long as they're legal, of course!).

I don't think you should base your marriage decision on his age. If you love him, marry him...If you are only marrying him hoping that you will both age at the same pace....well that is just wierd.
Marry for love, trust and respect and nothing else.
