marrying a man that is younger than the woman.

If I was a relative, I wouldn't have found anything wrong with it. I would have said, bravo, SOMEONE dared to do something different!! Lol. On a serious note, I think such a small age different does not matter, and I don't think it matters who is older, in the long run. But I do feel that she should have taken your mother into consideration earlier itself, and atleast tried really hard to convince her that it was a good idea to get married.

I completely agree with her. Love and marriage are independent of age, especially if it is within a 5-year age gap. More than 5 years might be a problem, since it leads to a generation gap and might cause problems, irrespective of who is older - man or woman. I would look at the couple and see how they interact, to give me a general idea of how much in love they really are. In principle, I would say that she did the right thing marrying him, because there are several successful marriages where the husbands are younger than the wives - there is nothing wrong with that at all!

let them be..there is nothing wrong with it. I am married to a man 4 years younger than me and age did not become an issue in our marriage. I believe that your sister knows enough for her to marry the guy.

My husband is 6 years younger than me. We got married when I was 33 and he was 27. The age difference did not affect our relationship at all. I think at your sister and her husband's ages, the 3 years won't make much of a difference if both of them are mature. My husband is very mature for his age. None of our family member objected to our marriage because of that. Your sister is old enough to make her own decision. A marriage is hard...regardless of age difference. I think you should leave her be and give her marriage a chance to work. The last thing a new marriage needs is for people to not be supportive of it.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Age is just a number. I am not sure where the idea came from that a man should be older than the woman but not vice versa? Maybe it was because women are usually more mature, at an earlier age but that is not always the case. Really I don't see anything wrong with it at all. If they love each other and are happy together that is all that matters. If I was I relative I would say - good luck and best wishes to you both. :) Besides 3 years is practically nothing. Welcome to myLot by the way. Happy myLoting! :)

That's just 3 years age difference, and what does it matter anyways. The guy doesn't need to be older if you ask me, can easily be the other way around. Especially on higher ages where it doesn't matter anymore anyways.
