How do you think about a wife is older than her husband?

I see nothing wrong with this situation. My wife is six years older than me. I don't feel that 5-10 years is too much of an age difference for a couple, no matter which one of the people involved is the oldest. Over the years, it has been WIDELY accepted for men to marry younger women. Throughout history, it has been acceptable for girls as young as 14-15 years old to marry men as old as 25-30 years old. Only recently in America's own history have the statutory rape laws and other related laws stopped this practice. I see nothing wrong with people who have a 5-10 year age difference getting married. My wife and I have been together for almost ten years, and have been married for almost nine of those years. It is certainly possible for marriages in this category to work successfully. As for people with greater age differences getting married, I really don't think it is any of my business what they do. As long as they make each other happy, who am I to judge them???

Hi friend! Some couple get married without looking their age, but they go for their friendship and the habbit how they enjoy and trust each other. But the families of some do not agree but some dont see that also, they get in to the married liefe. Have a nice day and keep enjoying mylot.

Absolutely! My mother was 31 and my father 24 when they got married. They were married 55 years. My aunt is 10 years older than her husband and they've been married 20 years. Men generally die at younger ages than women, so it makes sense. I see no reason it can't work out if they have mutual love and respect and shared life experiences. Good luck to them - don't let anyone else dictate their lives.

What if the ages were reversed, he 32 and her 25? That would probably be more acceptable to the families. However, I think that it is past time for the idea that the husband must be older than the wife to end. Women no longer need a man to provide for them financially. They can take care of themselves. The only possible drawback I see here is how mature is that 25 year old man?

Generally, I would be against it... for me. Not them. I would want a younger wife. But if someone else really thinks they have a good situation with an older woman, I'm for it. The only thing that concerns me, is sometimes men get with women who treat them like a child instead of an adult. Like the woman is their mother, not their wife. I tend to think younger men with older women have that kind of relationship, and that's not good. That often doesn't work out in the long run. Eventually the women wants a husband, a man, not a child to take care of. Then the relationship falls apart because that's what it's built on. But still, I'd go case by case. If these two have a real good thing, why should we stop it?

Seven years isn't that big of a difference in age. I don't think it would be a problem at all unless it's a large difference. Some people can have an age difference but be equal in maturity. If it was the man that was older it would be acceptable so why not if it's the woman?

i dont see naything wrong this at all. but when someone is older enough to someone else parents then that is weird

In this society, mostly people do not agree this situation happen, because they think that woman are easily get older as compare to guy. However, I don't think that is a barrier for a relationship. As long as they love each other, then they doesn't care who older than who. If a wife is older than her husband, it all just about age and age is just a figure and not a big deal. I believe that your sister and her boyfriend will be happiness forever. Have a nice day.

In my country, this is still pretty much acceptable. What would cause a problem would be if the wife is like 35 years old, financially stable, and have a nice-paying job and the husband is like 18 years old student who loves to party. that would be an issue on the wife's side. But if the age difference is not that much and both are on the same page when it comes to love, money and all, then no problem with that.

I think it's acceptable and reasonable.....I'm just wondering...why average people aways concerned that boys should older than girls ......my mother is older than my father but they get along well with each other and they get rid of the problem of the age....

You know love can cross rich and poor, loyal and civilian, even gender, no mention of the age! If your sister and her boyfriend love each other, you should all give them your best wishes, cause love itself deserves it!

I don't think that it is unacceptable. There are so many stereotypes, taboos, all created by us it's time to shed these negative views. What does it matter if 2 adults are happy together. Size, color, age. There is a lack of love and fellowship in this world to a point where we should be embracing both when they appear, no matter what form.

it is acceptable, it is just the mindset that make them think it is unacceptable. I hope your sister and her boyfriend all the best for their future. The most important thing is the maturity of both parties.

this one is just the same with my post a while ago ... is age really doesnt matter...? environment have a big role in their relationship, the family of them both, the generation gap...well if they surpass all of that... other problem will be easy....time will tell if they endure all of those trials.

In my country this is perfectly acceptable. The age difference is not very significant. The only time someone might really think badly is if the age difference is a bit greater. For example, if she were 45 and he was 25, that might be different. My boyfriend is 26 and I am 30, so I am in a similar situation. We do plan to marry one day as well.

Hi good day!! In my own opinion, I dont think that age really matter! It's not that important!! As long as both of them understand each other then why not!!! I know they can survive if they really love each other!!!
