In Western countries there are many men who have wives who are elder to them in age.However in our country you may not find many who have wives older to them.Some people do like Sachin Tendulkar and Abhishek Bacchan.The reason why men do not marry women older to them is that after a certain age or after the first delivery women start aging faster and so women start looking older than their husbands.Again there is the matter of the personal ego which creates imbalance in the relationship with the husband getting an inferiority complex leading to tensions in their married life.Therefore men always prefer to have wives younger to them and so do women generally.

Well,i don't think it matters at all.Actually my mother is two years old than my father.And lots of friends of mine who got younger husbands.It is very common for a wife who is several years older than her husband.
Of course,traditonally,husbands are older than their wives.Especially ture when it comes to those kind of society which allows a man can have more than one wife.And of course, men prefer to marry younger women.
But maybe it will change in the future,and since women tend to live a longer life than men, and because in some countries, people prefer boys than girl,so many girl babies are killed before they are born.So there will be much more men than women is this world.So i think maybe one day,it is a trend to a man marry a much older woman as his wife.

There is nothing wrong in marrying an elder girl .. But care should be taken about the maturity level between each others. I mean to say that both should be equally matured enough in mind....!

No chance to get any trouble as long as love is there.Age gap is not love gap, I believe.

Hey..Different people have different taste.I also like matured women(mid aged) than younger ones.That is my taste.But in my country normaly we marry younger girls than us.I dont know why.But i think man must have a good income to look after a wife.S girls they marry older guys(couple of years older).Any way try to marry one which you love.But try to make the correct decision because rest of the life you are going to live with her.

Well it is common now but there is nothing wrong about that if you love each other. Age is just a number but in my style, I like girls which is more younger that me like 1 or 2 years because if I get old, my wife will not be as old as I am so she can take care of me if I am unable to do things anymore. It is still nice to see that you are old then your wife is still hot and healthy. But we can't choose, sometimes we just accidentally fall in love with someone who is not our type.

From my point of view no big deal or no problem at all as long as both are mutual their feelings to each other. Meaning if true love between the couples age doesn't matter at all, as saying love is blind and conquer everything... including age gap... see you around

Hello mukthar931!
For me, I believe that Nothing really matters when it comes to love. Everything happens, and most of the time it happens when we least expected it. The thing is, we can never judge someone when he/she started to love someone, disregarding the age gap difference, gender, situation, appearances, life status, economical status, popularity, NOTHING absolutely matters. We consider that anything could be made possible when it comes to love. There's nothing wrong with it in any way. Here's the tip, when you love someone, never bother yourself with what other people say to you, because they're just one of those close-minded/narrow-minded people around who kept on judging too much without noticing themselves first.

Men and women have freedom when it comes to marriage. It is not bad to marry a girl older than you, what matters most is that you love each other. I think the reason why it is never generally accepted is because older girls are thought to be 'cougars' or women who prefers younger men.
