Age Gap

yes its normal that a husband should be older than women in a marriage.my wife is 3 years younger to me and we share an excellent relationship.however i have seen few couples where the husband is older by 10 more years than the wife and the relationships though continuing are estranged.

To start off, i had a girlfriend who's 17 years old when i was 25. I don't know how it happened but we hit it off. Before you raise your eyebrows, nothing happened sexually. We only lasted for a month and it was a mutual decision. My second girlfriend was 3 years older than me. We lasted 6 months and the age factor has nothing to do with the break up. She's the best girlfriend i had. I guess it all boils down to the emotional and mental maturity. Age doesn't matter as long as both of you are on the same wavelenght. Learn from him/her while he/she learns from you.

The age gap is never an issue. It is the love between the two people that matters. I have relatives who have age gaps of 10 years between them and they are happily married. Even if the age gap is questionable like the one featured in this story -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7019998.stm They still got married. What matters most is the person you marry is the one you love and is one who is also able to love you back. Then the age gap can be reversed, where the woman is older than the man, it will still work out.

I don't think difference in ages between a couple should matter. I'm younger than my husband by 4 years, but I sometimes feel he's like a kid. We argue a lot - sometimes over nothing! My sister is older than her husband by 3 years, and they seem to have a more mature relationship than us!

My boyfriend is exactly 13 days older than me :D There is almost zero chance of age gap in that range. I also know a couple where the husband is 10 years older than the wife but the wife looks so much older than him :P They're doing well, and are trying to cope with old age. I also know a wife who is a couple of years older than her husband and they're getting along fabulously! Age doesn't matter by the time people reach 24 :P Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I don't agree with that woman may be younger than man. If woman will have more age than of man, I think it would be helpful to man for many things in the life.

The age gap between me and my fiance is 6 years or so. I think age really doesn't matter when the relationship is successful and works. If you are compatible with someone get a long well enough then you can make any relationship work.

I think a few years gap either ways doesn't really matter. A lot depends on the male counter part though. He has understand the psychology better and must act mature. The woman must get the strength, comfort and the sense of security from her man. That way the man has to be maturer. However, a hug gap might initiate biological problems in a married life

well recently i have just read a discussion saying here in my lot with a couple who live successfully...and to know their gap, the man is three times younger with his wife. The woman age is 106 year of age while the man is just 37 year of age.

My partner is only 11 months older than me. But I have seen many people who have age gaps of 5+ years and they seem perfectly happy. I think that society dictates that the female should be the younger of the two. Also, in terms of biology, a female is most fertile when young, whereas men tend to stay fertile for a much longer time. In addition, females generally tend to reach emotional maturity at a younger age than most men which is why I guess it would make sense for a younger woman to be compatible with an older male. It ofcourse depends on the individuals involved however as every person is different

my husband is actually ten years older, he says it makes up for my maturity and his immaturity...lol....

It is true that man being older than wowan in a relationship, i feel the same way, but when i see couples with the opposite combination, i wish them too, i think a relationship would be work as long as there are true love in it,isn't it? but no matter which combination they have, i just prefer the age gap between them has better not divided too far, for people around the same age tend to probably have the same values and thoughts.

Oh well, first of all i don't really think that Age gap is a matter in a relationship unless the age gap is 15 years and above. However, i found out that guys which are younger than 30years old seems to be a little childish. (i experienced this from my previous relationship). I do not know whether this happen to anyone of you. Please share if there is any..:) My husband to be is 7years elder than me and we manage our relationship very well.

i have a bf younger than me by 1 years old. somehow he is childish, he cant think of how people feel . always have no respect to others. so i believe that he have not grow up . and break off :D now i have a bf who is older than me by 2. he treat me quite food and very loyal . but i believe no matter how old or how young still can be together, as long as both love each other (:

my hubby is more than 2 years older than me... i agree with you that normally the hubby is older than the wife... but i don't think that there is anything wrong to have a wife who is older than the hubby as long as both of them can accept the situation... take care and have a nice day...

my boyfriend is 3 years older than me,but he has same age with my sister n brother in law...so far my relationship with him went very well even though sometimes there are argument between us..but it seems we can tolerate when we facing that kind of thing...

My boyfriend is 7 years older than me, and we get along fine. It will be 2 years in July (we've known each other for a 1/2 year beyond that) and we have yet to have an actual fight/serious argument. He's very kind and understanding, and sometimes I feel like he's way too good for me. I worry if he'll find someone closer to his age at work or on business trips... Thankfully I'm not too insecure. I comfort myself with the fact that I am the one he's with, not anyone else. :)

I am 4 years older than my hubby. I haven't experienced any problem with our age gap. He is mature enough and responsible to our family...

thats okay. well me my husband is 6 years older. and its working out fine...

Age doesn't really matter when it comes to love. What matters most is the love, respect, honesty and happiness you'll give and get from each other.Your relationship will work as long as you fill eachother's weakness with love and the ingredients of a long lasting relationship."Put God in the center of your relationship and he'll direct you and crown your efforts with success".Goodluck on your relationship and God bless!!!
