Is that belief, religious, physiological, psychological or sexual based? Anyone knows a good website dealing with this? Personal experience/ known examples? I would like to know what is the opinion about this all over the world. kindly express it.

Answer 1

She gets wrinkled first.

Answer 2

There are reasons why it makes sense to marry a woman who is older than you. Women tend to outlive men, and most often end up as widows in their later years. By marrying a younger man, a woman might have a companion in her later years.

Answer 3

Having children

Answer 4

I think it's evolutionarily advantageous for men to seek younger women because women are fertile earlier and for a shorter amount of time than men.

Answer 5

it depends, older women would feel insecure in a society filled with younger women, therefore the result would be the need to control the man, constant nagging, henpecking etc

Answer 6

Remember in most cases the woman, out lives the man, so if you younger she may die first and you will get to enjoy the money.

Answer 7

It has it's up and downs like any relationship? What's in your heart and soul is what's important.
a marriage of convenience usually becomes in-convenient.
God Bless!

Answer 8

18: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19: Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20: For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23: And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24: Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31: Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
