Would you marry someone a lot older than you?

hello there,YES!!!! my husband is " a lot older than me, 19 yrs gap!! and so far so good we are 8 yrs of being together with 4 yrs old daughter, we are happy and satisfied with my situation that i married the older one coz the older one is responsible,i have father,best friend,lover and a husband.thanks God for my destiny.

Personally, no, but I have seen it work in others. Of course some only do it for the money and security the older person has to offer, lol. But it can work if real love is involved. Why not?

personally no. i feel there will be always something like generation gap. for me there can't be effective relationship in this case.

QUite an interesting question. I could give you a conventional response saying that age doesn't count what it counts is if we love someone - and I guess it can work that way sometimes. But to be honest I am not sure. Sure love is a wonderful thing and counts but I guess it would depend on a lot of things. MY age for starters. It seems less of a gap for example someone who's 40 marrying someone whos's 60, than someone who's 20 marrying someone who's 40. In the first case I think it might work better than the second. A 20 year old would have so much energy to spend so many things to still experience so much restlessness to get rid of, I think it might become a problem. Also the intellectual level, values, opinions, openness... all those needed to be compatible in some way and checked before marriage. I"m not saying it couldn't happen, but it would have to be a well thought decision, not something in the spurr or moment. Personally I don't know anyone married with that big gap but I do know quite some people with a 10 year gap, and it's working well in some cases and not so well in some other.

no i will not go for it...its too old for me...but if i can find 20 years younger than me then why not...

Yes I would marry someone a lot older than myself. I have in the past dated a man 25 years older than me and we would have been very happy together if we had been left alone to be happy together. You need to be happy in life and ten years happy with an older man is a lot better than being married to a younger man and not so happy

i dont know.. but he is like 20 years older than i am, i bet not.. i mean i would have avoided getting close to a man that is so much older than me..

i don't see anything wrong with marrying a person older than you especially if the older person really worth it. i believe in the idea that age doesn't matter when it comes to love and yes i can marry a person which is a lot older than me if he is really a person with dignity and if he can make me fall in love with him. there are older person that are really lovable not only with the financial status since not every older ones are rich or well-off. we are in a liberated society and a may-december affair is getting quite acceptable nowadays.

i like younger than me... you know girls are more sensitive than boys...

I haven't experienced that but I do know a lot of people who have. I think that it's okay to marry someone older just as long as they love each other. And they would also get along fine. But if age gap gets in the way and their ideas clash as well then that's a different story already.

Not too sure about that one,we have a family member wo wed a girl that was twenty years his junior and not only did he do it once he did it twice,and both times it fell through.He became really posessive and watched every move that they made,they hated him for it,and both times they just got really fed up,so in the end it broke both of there marriages up.Now he lives with a woman his own age and things seem to be a lot better for him,theres more in common and there happy to do the same things.

im older than my bf,but i guess it's just the way it is,your happy and he is why not...and it really depends on how you communicate with each other,the way you both can handle the situation,and how mature you both to fight anything that comes in on your relationship...loving is the most wonderful experience in the whole world!and thiers a saying age doesn't matter as loas you truely love each other and what him to be with you for the rest of your life!

If I love the person, he's single, he can feed and be responsible to his family then of course why not. For me, age doesn't matter as long as you both respect, commit and love each other. I have never been married but I had a relationship like this before.
