| Topic: Does age difference matter when it comes to marriage ? | |

I go with the "1/2 + 7" formula. Thus, someone who is 20 years old shouldn't be dating anyone younger than 17. That's common sense, otherwise you might find yourself on a sex offender registry list. If you don't want people to think you're "robbing the cradle," follow the formula:
Nice formulaNo one 30 years old should be dating anyone younger than 22 (8 years difference) No one 40 years old should be dating anyone younger than 27 (13 years difference) No one 44 years old should be dating anyone younger than 29 (there's your 15 years difference) No one 50 years old should be dating anyone younger than 32 (18 years difference) No one 58 years old (my age) should be dating anyone younger than 36 (22 years difference), but I don't think I'd be interested in dating anyone younger than 45, that's just me. If you're a 58 year old man and you can get a 36 year old woman to notice you at all then good for you! No one 60 years old should be dating anyone younger than 37 (23 years difference) No one 100 years old should be dating anyone younger than 57 (43 years difference) Neat how that works, innit? 
Bringing a child into the relationship is much more complicated. A lot to consider there and I've already typed enough, so I'll just say "good luck." |

Let me guess...you are referring to the *guy* being 15 years older than the woman...right?
Because, if you were, say, to get with someone who is 15 years older than *you* now..she'd be 38, and it's kind of hard for a woman to *start* a family at 38.. Of course, you yourself, at the age you are now couldn't very well date someone 15 years *younger* than you...she'd be 8... 
Yea it would be a challenge. I'm second guessing myself over the whole thing which I feel is a red flag. The last thing I want to do is hurt someone really bad down the road by stupid decisions that I made that was never fully committed to from the get go. |

Yes it’s works I was married to a man 16 1/2years older than me I was 21 he was 37 my age now we were married 10years the relationship was good we laughed everyday the sex was awesome also everyday idk why this is still a running topic  oh we also had a daughter together so again...yes yes yes it can work
It only "worked" for 10 yrs. I'm sure the age difference contributed. Especially for 20 somethings. Brain isn't finished until late 20's. There is a big difference between someone 21 and someone 30. If you were 40 and he was 56, the personal development is more compatible. . |

If you are fall in true love,that doesn't matter.Your neighborhood may think the old one doesn't match the youth one because youth is more attractive than old.There may many gossips go around the old one,and the old one has to face the discriminationg from others.But you couple are in true love,the gossip do nothing to you.

I do know some people who are much are older than me and I'm way more mature financially and emotionally. Just out of curiosity where did you hear about the brain not being fully developed at certain ages and personal development etc ? |

Lots of studies on when the brain is finished developing. You can look them up.
I know about age and personal development because I've experienced it. |

gotta disagree with some of you. my husband was 18 years younger than me. we both had children from previous marriage. he was truly my soul mate. he was "old" for his age, and I was young at heart.
We were married 25 exciting, wonderful hard-working years with travel, sex, fun, goofy stuff, hobbies and companionshio. 25 years before God separated us. it depends entirely on the people involved. |

Do you think a 15 year ago difference is too much for marriage ? I know the both of them would be at different places in life and maturity levels but if they both wanted kids and to settle down, could it work ? Sure it could work and by all means you can have kids But keep in mind that you will most likely be dead of old age or drooling spit down your chin in a nursing home by the time those kids grow. Have fun. while you can :) That's why I mentioned marriage because I'm not doing anything until I'm married. You are 23 and haven't " dipped the noodle" yet?..what are you waiting for? You need to get some practice girls..don't go into marriage as a greenhorn "south of the boarder " |

There is ten years difference between my parents. Been married for 40 years now. Know a couple who are married for five years now, and there age difference is 22 years. So yeah....it can work.

My mother is 8,5 years older than my dad. At the time they got married this was pretty unusual. But they are still together, given all upsband downs in life

You were indeed lucky.. So many relationships where the guy is much younger do not last.. (Marty Stuart and Connie Smith is the only one I can think of..he is like 17 years younger than her) Most of the time, the guy may be cool with someone much older...like..he's 30 and she's 46...but..then when he is 50 and she is 66...it's whole different ball game. Not saying I agree with that...just from what I have observed.. My late husband was 3 years younger than me....I used to joke all the time "I got me a younger man.."

You need to get some practice girls..don't go into marriage as a greenhorn "south of the boarder " That would be me breaking the 7th commandment. I can't do that. A woman is someones daughter, sister, mother, aunt, and grandmother. If I do it before marriage I not only disrespect myself but them and their family. |
