Husband Or Wife! Which Should Be Older? by Nobody: 10:10am On Aug 17, 2015 |
Marriage, which is a life-time union was instituted by our creator but there are numerous factors dat must be considered when it comes to d choice of whom to marry. One of such factor is age disparity. Some say its religiously and morally wrong for a guy to marry a lady who is older dan him, even though d love is there while some belive otherwise......from your own point of view, Should the wife be older than d husband or vice versa? What is ur stand on dis? |

babyfaceafrica: God instituted marriage in such a way that the man (Adam) would be older than the wife (Eve). This is evident when God created Adam before Eve. Husbands being older than the wife is God's arrangement and dat has made it a natural phenomenon. That is why tradition and religion all over d world always tend towards dat belief. So, not all tradition of men are wrong, dier are some dat are actually in accordance to God's word. The idea that the wife's age could be at par or more dan the husband's age is a distortion on God's arrangement and its the "Modern life style of man". This modern life style of men has paved d way for Homosexualism, bestialism, divorce etc whch men now see to be right. We shld retrace our path back to d way of our creator. |

Whatever rocks their boat. Who cares? Here are few examples of couples who have made it despite the age difference. These ladies are 7-12 years older than their men. Nia Long is 7 years older than her man (they have a baby together) Gabrielle Union is 10 years older than her man Shakira is also 10 years older (they have a baby) Lisa Bonnet is 12 years older (they have children together)

There is no rule or law as to d age extent of who is to be older in a marriage except for d fact dat d law gives n exception to getting married to a minor ie 15, 18 n 21 below if am not mistaking Now I can marry any woman DAT is matured in reasoning but not too older dan me or a minor a woman dat is rationale in everything sense of humour dressing cooking understanding loving |

One thing the bible is clear on is leadership in the family, and women have to "submit", not that he has to be older. And, I put quotations around "submit" because it is not be all, end all. If in case of immoral, unethical, unbiblical and abusive situations, the submit does not apply. And, that is my disclaimer. If there is plenty godly love and compatibility, and maturity then, I don't mind his age. Though, there should be a line drawn somewhere on age gap....I don't know where that line is though. I guess if it doesn't border on perversity. To each his/her own. Life is just too short and precious for all these formalities, rules and norms. |

babyfaceafrica: Genesis 2; 7 "And the Lord God formed MAN of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and MAN became a living soul".... Genesis 2:21 "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;" Genesis 2: 22 "And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a WOMAN, and brought her unto the MAN." So, u can see d reason for my opinion. The man shld be older, stronger than d woman. |

babyfaceafrica: Our God is a God of orderliness, there's always an order to every action and processes. He's all knowing, even, before creation He has known dat dier would be the concept of "Marriage". Dat was why He instituted it. God caused Adam to exist before His wife. So, Husbands must exist before d wife. Husbands must be born before wife, therefore, Husbands must be older dan d wife. Its an adherence to God's orderliness and ways. |
