Topic: Does age difference matter when it comes to marriage ? | |
---|---|
Do you think a 15 year ago difference is too much for marriage ? I know the both of them would be at different places in life and maturity levels but if they both wanted kids and to settle down, could it work ?

Let me guess...you are referring to the *guy* being 15 years older than the woman...right?
Because, if you were, say, to get with someone who is 15 years older than *you* now..she'd be 38, and it's kind of hard for a woman to *start* a family at 38.. Of course, you yourself, at the age you are now couldn't very well date someone 15 years *younger* than you...she'd be 8... |

I wouldn't do it.

Cause it could work, no reason it’s impossible. I wouldn’t try myself but if the older one is immature or vica verse or you just share heaps of interest why couldn’t it?

Depends on how strong willed and determined both people are and how much they can withstand the opinions and views of everyone around them.

I don't think it would work in the long run. I dated a guy 13 years old a long time ago. At 40 he was a hottie. But that's when aging begins. Within 5 years he grew a pot belly and old man skin.

I know the both of them would be at different places in life and maturity levels but if they both wanted kids and to settle down, could it work ? Sure it could work and by all means you can have kids But keep in mind that you will most likely be dead of old age or drooling spit down your chin in a nursing home by the time those kids grow. Have fun. while you can :) |

I know the both of them would be at different places in life and maturity levels but if they both wanted kids and to settle down, could it work ? as far as the kids, the woman would need to be of childbearing age, of course. beyond that, although AGE is a decent indicator of where a person is at life, emotionally, intellectually, and physically, its not an absolute. So I think it would be more of a case by case, whether age would impact compatibility. I think the more important factors would be that you have a similar background of experience as common ground, as well as similar values and goals. If those things are there, one definitely has a shot at making it work. |

Age difference in marriage is most important. Especially if it's 15 years.
In Just dating it may work out much better. Because dating is Not a committed relationship. A. 50 yr old woman shouldn't marry a 35 yr old man. (For example ,) If a man is 50 and woman is 35 doesn't matter ! |

If a woman wants to marry a guy much younger than her....why shouldn't she? It's not more weird/ creepy/ strange than the guys marrying/ dating women who are young enough to be their own biological child, or, even worse...*grandchild*... If you think otherwise, then that is purely sexists and hypocritical.. P.S. Not everyuone who gets married wants kids, so...take that out of the equation. |

I go with the "1/2 + 7" formula. Thus, someone who is 20 years old shouldn't be dating anyone younger than 17. That's common sense, otherwise you might find yourself on a sex offender registry list. If you don't want people to think you're "robbing the cradle," follow the formula:
No one 30 years old should be dating anyone younger than 22 (8 years difference) No one 40 years old should be dating anyone younger than 27 (13 years difference) No one 44 years old should be dating anyone younger than 29 (there's your 15 years difference) No one 50 years old should be dating anyone younger than 32 (18 years difference) No one 58 years old (my age) should be dating anyone younger than 36 (22 years difference), but I don't think I'd be interested in dating anyone younger than 45, that's just me. If you're a 58 year old man and you can get a 36 year old woman to notice you at all then good for you! No one 60 years old should be dating anyone younger than 37 (23 years difference) No one 100 years old should be dating anyone younger than 57 (43 years difference) Neat how that works, innit? Bringing a child into the relationship is much more complicated. A lot to consider there and I've already typed enough, so I'll just say "good luck." |
