Can a guy marry a gal older than him ???

What are 2 or 3 years? Nothing at all! I think there are no age limits to love. Obviously, the more one is older than the other, the more problems might arise during the relationship (mainly due to different lifestyles and upbringings), but nothing is impossible to solve if they love each other!

GOOD post.china have a adaje: if a man married with a girl older than him three years ,he will receive gold brick.that means,gal older than the guy,that will bring lucky to family.i think so.because man often puerility,if gal older,she often hold with him,and take care of him.this is good for family.certainly,man must take of gal too.

It really dosnt worry me in the slightest, age is no barrier (as long as its legal), if they are happy then thats their business and no one elses..I know of one instance, friends of mine the lady is 26 years older than the guy...They are happy and age has no factor..

Hi Touchnshine, if your only talking two or three years, I dont see what the problem is. My wife is twelve years older than I am and we celebrated out tenth anniversary last June. I think if you love each other there is no problem unless you make it a problem. My first wife was eight years younger than I was and we only lasted two years. Age was not a factor unless you count how imature she was. Good luck to you, Terry

I usually like better older gals! not only 2 or 3 years, that is more or less the same, but 5 or 10 years... older women are more experienced and serious and that makes them sexier and more interesting for deeper relationships.

if they have mentlly understanding than their is no problem at all no matter boy is younger or gal is younger only understanding,purity,feelings and trust counts in a relation

I personally see no harm in a guy marring a gal who is elder to him until he loves her. The question is that they should love each other respect eachothers feelings and should be in a position to keep eachother happy. Whats in the age.

You have raised good discussion. Every citizen should think about his county’s prosperity and advancement. You mentioned some points how can one contribute for his country. For any king of big work it required lot of time and efforts but we every person of the country should work our respective duties honestly and effectively. Corruption is one of the major problem and indulgence in our country, we should work for it and at least we should not indulge/involved in it. I think this is the major contribution in making our country more prosperous and great.

well touch most of the people have given about the classic example, but me myself is sailing in the same boat, my husband is about 1.5 years younger than me, and we both are happily married. i dont think age matters much, but indeed your effort to turn your marriage into success is what matters most.

Many examples are there, Ash-Abhi, Sachin-Anjali etc. But I feel girls get matured mentally very soon. Hence better if girls are 2 to 3 years younger to men.

Two to three years?!!!! That is nothing. I am 16 years older than my husband. My husband seems to be the "older" one. People still do not believe my age. My husband didn't when we were married and not just because of my looks but because of my energy. Age does not matter. What matter is the people involved...the way they think, the way they love, and the way they forgive.

Well,2-3 yrs doesn't matter much, but more than that may cause problem.For the naure of both should match,some things like maturity,sicerity,seriousness vary according to age,and much difference in age will mean much difference in nature of both. There may be very small problems but they may lead to big conflicts later.

The best relationship I ever had was with a man younger than myself. 2 or 3 years shouldn't make much of a difference at all. What is important...compatibility, working toward common goals, maturity, character, devotion, commitment, love and not making the age gap an issue.

There is no problem with a guy marrying a girl who is older than him. There can be love between the two and the age may be of little importance. 2-3 years of difference is not a very big gap or should I say its not a generation gap. I have come across where the marriages were between a bride of 80 years old and the groom of 20 or 25 years old. Of course, the reason behind was not love but of support. The groom had married her because he would be a support to her and also for the wisdom she had gained in her life time. Usually the girls get matured before the boys do. So, if the boy is younger than the girl he may not understand his responsibilities. This usually happens when the people are in their 20s. But if they have already crossed this age category then I think there shouldn't be any problem.

Usually it is not normal, because guy's mind is much younger then a same age girl's mind. There are exeptions, but ....

My mom is older than my dad by 3 years. As far as I know the age thing was never an issue. Maybe it's because my mom looked younger than my dad LOL, I don't know. They divorced after 20 years, and not because of my mom being older than my dad. It's funny, here my mom is older than my dad, yet I always thought the guy should be older than the girl. But then again I always felt a guy should be taller than the girl too. :P

There is no boundry when it comes to love. The only thing that matters is that how much you like each other and how good the understanding between you. So age is not a factor. So you can marry a girl who is older then you; even by 5-10 years.

Though it's ideal for people to get married with girls younger than them, I still think it's possible. I think the main reason why it's the 'ideal' (to get married to someone older than you if you're a girl; to get married to someone younger than you if you're a boy) because of the thought of maturity. Normally, a woman is said to be more mature than men, or in this case, easily mature faster than men. But of course, there are many other factors of maturity other than gender or age. There are the experiences that one had to go through his/her life that would cause him/her to become more mature for his/her age. Another is his/her attitude towards life, it's said that those who tend to look for experience would mature faster too. So it clearly depends. We can't really generalize everyone. Plus if it were not right, then why do we have so many successful marriage with men younger than their wives? *LOL* So I guess it's not about the age. What matters is how they adjust to each other. Yes, people have views, but hey, they won't marry their neighbors ~ They marry each other. So I say, let them be. *LOL* By the way, my grandmother is older than my grandfather. My mother is older than my father. But no one could ever notice that type of difference. *LOL* There are a lot of women who are older than their husbands, but who could tell who's older than who? =) But personally, based on experience, I'm more attracted to the older-than-me men. Not because they're older, but there's something about them that makes my heart tick. Of course, I never asked for their age. *LOL* My partner now is older than me by 3 years and I love him so. *LOL* =)

I think there is no problem if a girl is a little older than a guy. But there will be problems if she is older by many years becuse girls are generally more matured than their age

Hey I dont like the term "gal" being associated with me or my fellow gender. Are you from Texas? For me I dont think the age matters. It all depends on the level of maturity of both parties. Obviously if they got together they were past the age problems but if any other problems should develop both parties would need maturity to handle them. Experience is not packaged by age. Maturity is not packaged by the age. So why second guess a guy because he wishes to marry someone 2 or three years older than he is? Seems to me like whoever is seocnd guessing the guy may have a great problem of their own. Come on people,a ge is just a nubmer that keeps climbing ; it does not decline. The man will get older too so what's the big deal? Its not as if he is getting younger? Oh please!
