Could you marry a person as old or even older than your parents?

That's impossible. Age is something I have to consider when I want to have a serious relationship. Actually I don't like marring someone who is older me over 10 years. I think this is already a big generation gap. If my husband is as old or even older than my parents, that's not possible. My parents won't allow it, too.

Technically it's not wrong really but it is a bit disturbing. Some cultures like you say do accept these kind of marriages especially if you're a girl and the man can support you. It really depends on a person. I personally would think it's okay. I wouldn't marry one though. I can't see myself marrying someone as old as my dad. I did have crushes on George Clooney and had a liking to Eddie but no, I don't think I'll marry them. Haha!

i would never do so. i think it will never be from my mind. how can i marry someone of my parents age? i think its not natural.

Yeah Why not. As long as he loves me dearly and my mum and dad is cool with the situation and they respect me with my decision that i want to marry this guy because i found the happiness with him i'll go for it. Age never deprives anyone to fall in love and be happy

what do you think of Zhenning Yang and Fan Wen? The famouse USA sino scientist and his young wife? I don't like those young girls who marries old men. To my opinion they do this just for money.

definitely not

Oh God no! I would never date a much older man...tops 5-7 yrs older than i am, is acceptable..but i don't have to worry, my hubby is only 10 months older than i am so..

I think I could if i was in love with them. My husband is 15 years older than me and it just so happens that he is 10 years younger than my mom. I think age is just a number. My mom really doesn't show her age and neither does my husband. You would not know that they are more close in age than we are. I have dated alot of guys my own age and they are too immature. they used me and left me. My daughter never sees her dad but my husband has been a father to her since she was 9 months old.

i tend to like younger men, so no, i probably could not do that unless he was really really rich!! lol!!

i am in my thirties and i am dating a guy 10 years younger ,and bottomline is i am more attracted to younger guys ,i don't consider myself a cougar ,i just have my preferences.I am not gonna lie though theres lots of attractive older guys out there it just seems they are too busy working really hard to support their 20 year old lovers ,and older guys are usually looking for younger girls so it makes it very difficult ,but if the circumstances were right and i found a guy like in his 50's and everything went smooth i might reconsider

I have a difficult time with dating anyone past the 5 year age difference to me. I'm 35 now, so I wouldn't easily go under 30 or over 40. I found that to be true with a fellow I dated a few months ago. He was 42, and that age difference was too much for me. Our past experiences were too different, and for me, made it more difficult to find common ground in many of our conversations. So as for dating someone my parents' ages? NO WAY! My dad would have just turned 77 in January, and my mother is about to turn 64 next week. That's way too much of an age difference. I don't see that we could have enough in common to sustain a long lasting relationship. It could simply be that I'm just closed minded on this issue. Perhaps because my parents' marriage failed, I associate it with their 13 yr age difference, and then think that would be the same for me. I don't really know. All I do know, is that I am not comfortable with the idea of being involved with someone much older (or younger) than me, and don't care to test my beliefs either. lol.

Well I don't know. I mean my husband is 2 years younger and that's fine by me. Had I married an older guy perhaps not as old as my parents then maybe it's ok. I say if he is 10 years older then it should be ok, but any more than that could be a little odd. Then again they say age is only a number, but I'm starting to think that People should date someone closer to their age.

I could not marry anyone older than my parents...When I marry I want to be able to spend time with this person..If I marry a person alot older would be marrying someone with one foot in the grave...

Generly,it's difficult for your mother to accept.But if you really love him,I think you can merry him.
