Should the husband always be older than the wife??

It is probably the norm for the husband to be older than the wife but I don't think that it should always be the case. In the past, men were expected to have jobs and careers while the women were to stay at home to take care of the house and have children. That could be a reason why most husbands were older than the wives. There was also a tendency for people to look down on women marrying younger men. However, in our present society, women are keeping up with the men in having lives outside of the home. Thus, women are regarded as much as the men.

I think there is no big deal about age gap in getting married. As long as they are both matured, they love each other, willing to face responsibilities of being married and having trust in their partner. It is also important to have a good communication and understanding.

Well, I think we've seen cases where the wife is older than the husband. I don't think age should make a difference if two people really love each other. Of course, if there's a huge gap it can tend to be bothersome, but I don't think a couple years is a big deal.

I personally don't think that it really matters as long as they love each other and have things in common. I am 5 months older than my husband. And we have a great relationship.

No, not necessarily. I am older than my boyfriend, by 2 years, and I have been on the other side too, ex-husband older than me. The age is not really that important, it's how well connected they are, and the maturity of each person. After all, age is just a number.

not really! as long as u get along with each other age doesn't matter at all. i am 3 yrs older with my husband and we were 10 yrs married already and going stronger! ;-).as long as there is LOVE, undestanding and of course communication things will be better. there were some petty quarrels, yes, but as long as u love each other, that's nothing to worry about! ;-
