Is It Advisable To Marry A Lady Who Is Older By Age? by whitec: 6:32am On Jul 12, 2015
Good morning Nlanders. please i have an issue that is bothering me for some time now. There is a lady i mate recently, she is currently serving around my place. l have being observing her and she seems to be a good lady and i'm thinking of taking a step further; like knowing her more and eventually propose to her God's will, but the issue now is she is older than me. In fact she is 32 and i'm 30. Please is it right and advisable for me to marry her?

And if it happens is it bad? Look around you, some ladies help their men out during weddings, it doesn't matter who is older or younger.
you can still marry a younger wife and she still may not respect you.
Since he said the girl seemed wifely, so na 2 yrs gap kon be the main obstacle ?
What a flimsy excuse!

If you love her and she agree and you are fully aware of the disadvantages and still wish to proceed.


Then I say carry on. grin

some girls normally degrees their age, who know iof she is using like 10years to senior the young guy...
the awkward moment is when you are with your girl and your friends will come and ask '' bros is this your mother or abi your anty'' grin

Forget about the girl,go for the ones younger than you.There is nothing good about marrying a lady that is older than you.

Age is just a number. It's about what you want
Re: Is It Advisable To Marry A Lady Who Is Older By Age? by Nobody: 2:28pm On Jul 12, 2015
Respect is the key word..

Older,younger... I think what matters is how much she's willing to respect you. And you willing to love her...


If she's respectful then it's okay.

Just take it one step at a time.

She's even two yrs older.

I thought it's a matter of 7-10yrs.

I don't see any reason why you should be concerned as long as you see great qualities in her.

It's not like you're a baby yourself.

If she respects u
If you aren't after beauty
If you will take ur time to know eachother before even thinking mariage, by all means.

But as som1 who's experienced both side of the coin, .....(U just read my mind grin)
