I saw a lot of women here in my country who marry men way older than they are. I think they are in love and that's a good thing. I was thinking that there could be a lot of advantages in doing so. Do you think there are a advantages? If so, what are they? It could be a lot because there are really a lot of women who are doing the same thing. What do you think?

for me, there a lot of advantages in marrying an older man because guys literally mature later than the girls. in marriage, the head of the family is the husband, it means that decision making usually come from him, how can a younger man do that when generally, they mature late. older men are also responsible and loving, they are mostly family oriented as they are past the stage of their life when all they want to do is to have fun. and as the man grow older, it means that he have prepared financial stability for his family which is one of the most important thing in marriage.

I think most women have that reason. I just think that women also have to be loving wives for their husbands who's doing a lot of things for the family.

Hi there friend there are lots of advantages if a woman will marry an older man. The first thing is older man is responsible enough to handle family issues. If the man is older than his partner it will be easy for the couple to establish their family. However in some cases they tend to fight because they have different interest in life. The older partner will likely have more life experiences; thereby, giving your relationship a greater richness.The younger partner brings exuberance for life and love that infects those around them. Marrying a man just because of money could just make your life lonely. Yes you have the richess you are experiencing the wealth of this world but you are not truly happy because you are just fooling yourself. Money can't buy happiness, marrying someone is so easy to do but maintaining the marriage it self is really cmplicated. It is never wise to enter into any relationship with the expectation that it will be easy. There will always be difficult times, and perhaps a time when one may want to leave. Remembering the reasons you fell in love, why you wanted to marry and recognizing the differences and challenges immediately will help to ensure the longevity of your relationship.

In every ways of relationship have advantages or disadvantages arise. My opinion is if you really in love to each other even in a big gap of age can try to considerate all things and can made through open communication, relationship will runs smoothly.

I thought about that too. They could be more understanding than younger males. Sometimes younger males are the ones who wanted to be treated like a baby. =)

I am 28, and my husband is almost 64. For one thing, women mature a lot faster than men, so I wanted to find someone who thinks on my level, not some young guy who still has some growing up to do. Also my husband is too old for military service. He already did his military duty (he is an American who fought in Viet Nam) so I don't have to worry about losing him to a military conflict. also, he has had a lot of experience in life, and we have a lot to talk about. He's a genius, and has all kinds of degrees. He has an amazing amount of education.

if the man is way older than you are, i can think of 1 major advantage - he would be dying earlier than you. :) he he kidding aside, if you are marrying an older man, make sure that, that man is of course older - or mature already. you would be surprised as to how many 'older" guys out there that acts old but thinks like a 6 year old kid. ha and most of them are just getting older physically and not mentally and not emotionally.

Well I believe there is only one reason to marry and that is for love, but I also believe that a wise woman never marries a man who is unstable no matter how much she loves hims. I think mostly older men have stability. They are usually already firmly in to the careers and they can provide a decent life for a young woman. Plus they ar usually more mature and have gotten past all the immature things that men go through so if you marry an older man you will probably have less drama. Some woman may like them because they may be father figures that they never had.

i will also like to marry an older man even 10 years older than me as long as his not that old. i find them very matured enough to handle a family of their own and be very responsible enough since they already have experiences. and aside for that, they already have a of earnings than those who are just started to enjoy their life.
