Age Difference in Marriage

Of course we should always do what makes us happy. Those people didn't raise me nor did they contribute in my growth or what I've become so why should I listen to them when it comes to my personal happiness?

I am 5 years older than my husband and I have always looked younger. Age is just a number. Don't forget, men usually age faster than most women.

My father and my mother different 13 years old and my mother is younger, their relationship was fine.

I think there is no issue if there is an age gap for me. Others are not that open-minded. Thus, we expect that they will be a talk of the town.

Marriage is a person's personal decision and everyone is free to do what makes him or her happy. Yet, there there are pitfalls which must be avoided.

In marriage, numbers don't tell if it is gonna be a successful one or not, but true love and strong relationship centered on Christ will make the big difference...People always criticize but that will test the strength of your relationship...and to be happy is your freedom of choice...I remember the song "You and me against the world."... ...

For as long as the age gap is not that far then I guess there’s nothing to be concerned of. What maybe troubling is when the age gap is that long like they could have been like a father daughter age gap.

wow, i didn't even know about Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas Congrats to them People always talks, so it's better to ignore them

i am 5 years older than my wife, not problem

What got to me about Priyanka and Nick Jonas's engagement is not the fact about their age though....but that it seemed so unreal, considering only 2 years ago they hadn't even met. And I don't think Priyanka had ever dated someone before...but anyways, kudos to them! Age is just a number really. A lot of guys marry women more than their age. Sachin Tendulkar, the cricketer.....Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys.... they all are happy in their marriage....which only goes to show that personal happiness is all that matters The mental maturity and being in the same stage of life are the main factors, rather than age. Other people's opinions in marriage choice doesn't matter once you have made the correct choice yourself!

You should always do whatever is right for you..

I say love who you want. (As long as it isn't illegal.)

We should marry who want to. My ex-husband was almost 6 years younger than me and people made jokes sometimes

There are many cases of May, December love affair. There are even those women in their post reproductive age having a relationship to younger men almost double the gap but I don't think there's so much issue about that. It's their choice. If they're truly loving and happy for each other, then people around should understand the situation. If the relationships work, it's not a problem. There were just people doubtful in the motives but let the involved person decide.

Why should age difference matter? If they love its alright. Honestly, it is difficult to find a suitable match once you are so successful. Look at Ekta Kapoor. There are personal egos which are hard to suppress. Outsider who is not as familiar and in awe with her fame as an Indian might be better equipped to manage the situation, and she too would have fewer expectations of him. I think they will succeed.

I do have friends who actually are younger than their wife.

Age is not an issue as long as they both have the same love and heart for fun and dreams
