The Age difference between the both of you will only make the relationship Stronger And Better..

[quote author=Mrs.Chima]Okay....what do you want Nairaland to do? I need job

Policewoman: I would NEVER allow my son to marry his mate not to talk of someone older. Women age faster. Thats a fact.

I hope you raise your son to be wise, independent and MAN enough to make his own decisions. Then when he holds his ground against your frivolous reasoning, i'd like to know how you would FORCE him to do anything

person, so what do they teach you at community college?

Frustration and trolling?

Eminentsam: I began to develop feelings for her when i noticed her in my church and i started considering her for marriage but on approachin and drawing closer to her i discovered she is abt 2 yrs older than me but stil looks very young like d same age or even younger than me and i hav proposed to her already pls advice me bc i realy like her and am an only son.

In this case, the age doesn't really matter. You should look beyond that. You affirmed that you love her and that she looks younger and that looks pretty cool to me. Now 2yrs is not a huge dissimiltude as long as she respects and love you as the man.

They teach me how to study hard so I wouldnt end up at Bristol.

Brace yourself, I am about to hit you real hard!

You are a monumental disgrace to the league of *only sons*! It is also indicative that there are so many other things you do not know about her as well.

Retrace your steps. Do not marry her! Forget all these *churchy babes. If you do not show some level of doggedness in your approach to such matters, then you are doomed!

@Eminentsam,

My Uncle is married to a woman older than him and they hv been married for the past 25yrs and no wahala, so go ahead and marry her and don't give excuses of age here cos it dosent affect your love for her. It just for her to respect u no matter the diff in age and u will livve happily after ok.


Don't put the young lady in emotional turmoil

SMH... I wonder what people know about people they want to marry. How can you propose to marry a woman when you don't even know her age. What did you kow about her then? Everybody wants a good marriage but we hardly do the works or lay the foundation for one.

That isn't a problem.

@ Poster,
Your information is incomplete:

(1) How old are both of you?

If you're both in your 20s or under 38, I can't see any problem. Reason is as an only son, I assume you want to have kids to preserve family name. If she's 51 and you are 49, I would say no.

(2) Is there anything about her character that bothers you right now e.g:
Does she overrule your decisions because she thinks she's older and wiser?
Does she not give you enough respect and regard or you fear such might happen later?

If 1 & 2 above don't apply but you're just worried about what people will say or you're just inhibited by tradition, go ahead and wed.

Eminentsam: Pls nairalander help with ur sincere advice not tragecomic one.she finishd high school 4 yrs b4 me bt at a very tender age while mine was at older age

Dumb! dumber!! dumbest!!! Go and read your books, stop thinking of marriage at this age till you're mature to think like a man. Now thats my advice.

Bro personally i would have love 2 say, jump down 3rd mainland bridge but cos this is a real issue, i hold my peace.
4 goodness sake the questns 2 ask urself are
Am i in love with her?
Can i really prove she loves me?
Is she the type 2 settle down with? E.t.c

Ma man.age does nt matter in a relationship

and reduce the competition.

A man's chances of dying early are cut by a fifth if their bride is between 15 and 17 years their junior.

The risk of premature death is reduced by 11 per cent if they marry a woman seven to nine years younger.

The study at Germany's Max Planck Institute also found that men marrying older women are more likely to die early.

The results suggest that women do not experience the same benefits of marrying a toy boy or a sugar daddy.

Wives with husbands older or younger by between seven and nine years increase their chances of dying early by 20 per cent.

This rises to 30 per cent if the age difference is close to 15 and 17 years.

Scientists say the figures for men may be the result of natural selection – that only the healthiest, most successful older men are able to attract younger mates.

"Another theory is that a younger woman will care for a man better and therefore he will live longer," said institute spokesman Sven Drefahl.

The study examined deaths between 1990 and 2005 for the entire population of Denmark.

On average in Europe, most men marry women around three years younger.

YOUR BRAIN DEY INSIDE YOUR BIG BELLY. Yo just be mumu.

My guy, to give you my candid advice, age does not really matter in a relationship,you are only saying this because she opened up to you. Most girls/ladies will never tell you their age , you know they always cliam to be younger all the times. So please go ahead if you guys are compatible and love it urselves.

Why did you approach and propose to her in the first place? If your love is genuine, a 2 years gap in age should not be an issue. Love and understanding is what counts! As it is now, I don't mind get married to a 70 year old lady from Jupiter. Lolzz

Have you bleeped her? do you enjoy doing it with her? does she enjoy it? is she less than 40yrs? does she respect you? do you respect her? do you enjoy her company as much as she enjoys yours?
If the answer to these is yes, then go ahead and marry her otherwise back-off.

Young man u would have known her age before proposing. why d rush.
anyways if u strongly believe she has d qualities you want in a wife kindly go ahead
age is nothing but number.
goodluck man

I will marry tomorrow
My wedding is tomorrow!
Foul, these vain desires;
Blame it on me.
Maybe tomorrow
To the altar’s oath.
Like many,
We shall walk the aisle.
I, grinning in my genteel gaunt beside blanched ebony.

I will this honour bequeath my beloved tomorrow.

Tomorrow,

The lure of untainted flower,

Its sweet perfume encased in a whorl.

Alas! That which I await is scarce.
This memory will be banished tomorrow.

Tomorrow ,

I must satisfy her.
My labour waits for her belly:
The weary days
The sun

The rains of my struggles
Bear fruit tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

She said, “I will come tomorrow”
Her many delays must end tomorrow
‘cos her quest for vanities are fully spent.
Our wedding shall be tomorrow.

Tomorrow,

Her lust shall be feted
Her feathers of courtship plucked!
The downs, I know, shall be not be rubied
But tomorrow we shall deceitfully walk to the altar.

Tomorrow.
I bid you, wait till tomorrow.
She goes home now to break her bond
With him that was in her dreams only yesterday.

I, shall wait till tomorrow

To make her drink from her fountain of lust.
Her secret desire of a ride to a far country
On her lover’s back, a wish not penny can grant.

Tomorrow.
I must nurture the wounds and scars of another
And regret I never made the first cut.
Yet, she must do it again as before.
But we shall start tomorrow.

Tomorrow
She shall dance like a maiden untouched;
All her lovers in the pew,
Mocking my folly with unspoken memories of their voyages
And I, a victim of blemished womanhood,
Ready to fool the world in “unholy matrimony.”

Tomorrow,
When she parades foolishness for fashion

Then, call her not my wife.
When she fights on the street in rage and fury
Oh, call her not my wife.
When she slips into darkness to drink from the cup of a rival
Please, call her not my wife.
When the stench of her reputation chokes the neighbourhood
Then, remember her not as my wife.
When she regales her mates with tall tales to my hurt
Please, call her not my wife,
When she wraps herself in fineries yet uglier than a mummy
Please, call her not my wife,
When godliness is exited and the fear of God abolished
Please, call her not my wife
Think no shame on me
Then, when she becomes a Matron over innocent children.

But,
I must marry

Tomorrow

Be it for a day before I die.

Mrs.Chima:
Okay....what do you want Nairaland to do?

He wants Nairaland to advice him, whether he should go ahead with the marriage or not.

My advice is you should marry her if you really love her, if you feel she will be submissive to you, and if her age is not a threat to you.

Age does not really matter. What matters is people's perception of life.
