Age is just anumber! But you need to think to yourself about the future! Do you want kids, are you really ready to settle down with someone that age? Youll probably lose contact with your mates, you probably wont be doing what any normal 24 year old does! Going clubbing, holidaying with your mates! Will you not want kids? Its a big thing! You will miss out on a lot! Are you setting yourself up for a major heartbreak?
If you are prepared to commit yourself this much then great! I wish you luck but dont rush into anything too serious ! You still young, this woman has lived her youth, she has nothing to lose here but you do!

Age is a number when it is between two consenting adults!!
Do you love her? Does she love you? Then why are you concerned about what other people think? She is beyond child bearing years most likely at her age, So if the two of you want children, Then adoption may be an answer. My question to you is, What do you want in life? Besides the love of a good woman. Where do you see yourself in ten years? These are questions that you must answer yourself and plan accordingly.. I hope this helped you...

Your ages shouldn't be a problem as long as you have no desire to ever have children and don't have a problem pushing your wife around in a wheel chair at the nursing home when she is 75 and you're only 46 - no problem, right?
I can imagine you may have a very difficult time not putting yourself through major mid-life crisis at that point. A lot of middle aged men struggle with this when their wife is half their age - how are you going to handle your situation?

Age is a number, but it also represents different stages in the life course. If you guys are in different stages in your life, it may be hard to empathize and connect with one another. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but women go for younger men during mid-life crises, so maybe that's something you should think about for a moment. I hope everything works out for the both of you though. Good luck!

Age is not just a number. Have you looked around at women in their 60's and 70's? Cause in the next 10 to 20 years that's what you will be dealing with. People are meant to marry and grow old together, not marry an old gal to begin with. Wise up. Find someone your own age to grow old with.
Right now people will think you are with your mother and in 10 years they will think you are with your grandmother and so will you.

I am 12 years older then my husband,he is a lot older in his way of thinking but i extremely active for my age he seems to be the one slowing down and wanting to stay home to watch TV etc.When she turns 80 (And u will be in your 50's and your friends will be having BBQ etc while you stay home to look after because she is getting fragile and sick etc) and if she has to go into a home are you still going to be around, visit her every day or take care of her at home,take her out for drives? She is getting l to an age that she will want to stay home are you going to be willing to stay home with her.You friend will travel etc

well well well you could see it as as long as i am happy now i am sticking with her and i don't care what anybody says but there will be issues if you decide to stick with her for a good part of your life her insecurity could come if you talk to younger females she could feel worse later being mistaken for your mum (if she looks like one) you could want children if your love for her deepens has she got family who will agree all these things but hey at the end of the day it is your life and it is what makes you both happy that really matters life is short

OH NO! Now people arent even looking at the age difference as much as they're looking at her age. Boy whats wrong with you? she 50-years old. need i say more? 53 is like a mom whose children are in their sophmore year in college. thats messed up, you cant do that.

no age is just a number. some older people in age are younger in mind, while some younger people in age are older in mind, just think about how that would effect your life from forward (if you plan on marrying her, you probally could never have kids)
