He told me that he wanted to be my husband. I would be his wife...as he says, FOREVER. I love him now and as time goes by, this love grows stronger. What should I do? Our age gap still bothers me, but people say that I shouldn't because it doesn't matter anyway, and 4 years isn't a big deal. Advice please...Thanks (^o^)

You know in love age does not matter there's no rules as long as your both free and love each why not give yourself a chance to be happy. You will be sorry if you turn down his offer anyway he's romantic I think. But I think he need more years to prepare because in marriage age is not only the only thing that you will consider, like is he financially stable that is one big factor like where are you going to stay, he should have a stable job or business so he can provide your needs if his not, are you willing to provide or do you have a stable job? If your answer is yes your willing then go but for it is better to save money or put a business and buy a house before getting married. Because married life is very complicated things on earth but if you success in here and overcome all the trials it is the happiest thing that will happen to both you. May you leave happily ever after. Happy mylotting.

How long have you been with him?... do you believe his feelings to be true?... do you love him??... if you believe his feelings are true.. and you love him... GO FOR IT.... my Grandma went with my grandpa (not really.. but hes like my grandpa) for well over 20 years now.. and she is 75... and he is almost 45-50.. something like that. He loves her.. she loves him... they are great together... they are actually one of the best relationships i have ever seen. so... dont let age be a factor.. look at it like this.. when you were 21.. did you date 25 yr old men?... whats the difference?

4 years is not a big age difference. My fiance is 9 years younger than I am, and the age difference doesn't bother either one of us. It's not about what age we are, it's how well we fit together. Our interests, our communication with each other, and our love and respect for one another. We also happen to work in the same field, we are both firefighters just different diciplines, he's structure, and I'm wildland. If the two of you really love one another, why is the age diffence bothering you so much? Age is just a number!

For some people age doesn't matter but for me it does really matter. It annoys me if the woman is older than the man, I don't know why I am feeling like that but that's what I feel. But anyway follow your heart and think about it many times. Just search more about the good points of your lover I mean see what he can gives you. Look if he has a good job and if he can support you in your future life and ask some assurance not to hurt you.

Well if the age gap is about 10 years of more I would be bothered by it. But it is only 4 years I don't think that should be a problem with your relationship. The only thing that you should be doing is to know how you feel about him. Do you really love him or not? Are you comfortable being with him or not? Those are the things that should matter to you. Also you might also consider the maturity level of the guy too. There are guys that are not matured with age. Age should be the last factor that you should be considering in a relationship because once you are married to each other and have kids age won't matter in there.

I think you should make a research about him.Maybe he have another purpose to married you other than love you.Now it is a trend young people married a person who older than them.Many of them have failed in their marriage because only awake after married that they are not suitable or no more love again.I think it is not false if you married young people than you but please be more carefully and make research about him before you regret after married.I am not try to fail you or jealous to you but i want you be more carefully and love you as my sister because i think all woman should be help.Thank you.
