Do you think that a 28yr old and a 49yr old are too far apart in age to get married?

Absolutely not, as long as both parties are in the relationship for the right reasons, not just money. If a 28 yr old and a 49yr old truly love each other and are happy together, then no they are not too far apart to get married. Marriage is not about age, but finding a life companion to love, share experiances with, etc... Age is just a number.

I think it depends on the couple, what you have in common and what both of you expect from the relationship. Even those close in age do not always last. I know of at least one couple that had an age difference of 38 years that has lasted twenty five years so far. They are like best friends and at 55 and 93 they seem content.
Personally I would not want to have used up my youth caring for an elderly mate, but again the younger one may be the one in poor health, so it depends on the couple.

Depends on maturity level of the 28 year. can a marriage last with a 19 year age difference. it depends on person to person. If they are content with one another and the 28 year old doesn't ever want kids. then that should souly up to the both of you.If they know in their hearts they truly love one another and truly feel ready to be married and can handle the commitment then age should not matter. I have a husband who is 40 and i am 31. it is only a 9 year difference but we agreed on every thing. so what is the matureness of the 28 year old. Do they really know where they want to be in life? Do they really know if this is truly what they want. It is what matters not how old. It what they feel to be right and thats all that matters.

If the woman's 28 and the man is 49, no, I don't see a particular problem in their getting married. If the man is 28 and the woman is 49, however, that could create some issues. I'm not discriminating but being realistic--men tend to mature later than women, and it's a rare 28 year-old man who's a match for a 49 year-old women.

Yes, I do. Think how old she will be when you are 49.
The lifestyles would be too different. Are you ready for the sickness that can start occurring at the age. What about menopause? Children? Young grandparent aren't ya.
Many say age doen't matter, but I was married to an older man, I know.

Yes, I think you should stay with 5 years of age, because any more than that and it really starts to show the older you get. You just don't have as much energy the older you get.

Oh, lady. That's a question. What I suggest it getting a book on human growth and development. Research where he is in his life, gain a better understanding of how you are maturing. I'm not saying no, but make sure your educated on his thought patterns, and how they are going to change in accordance with yours, because it won't be the same thing at the same time.

Think about it this way. The 49 yr old will die years before the 28 yr old. If you want to deal with that when the time comes, your choice.
