the question is what is really important to you the age or the love? are you happy with him? can you live without him? answer that and think things over because for me personally age doesnt matter for me. the important thing is the love that we feel to each other.

true. if you can't live without him and if you will forever fill the emptiness without him in your life, then don't think about the age difference. go on and love him and let him love you.

If you really love him, marry him. Age doesn't really apply to these things. My mother is 15 years younger than my Dad, but they've been married for 40 years. If you feel you have to ask the question perhaps you are not truly in love? Try to work out exactly what is bothering you about the age gap.

You didn't say what is the age difference... If it's not more than 10 years, I think it will be ok.. I suggest You not to hurry with this decision. Time will show You the way... Anyhow love is most important...

How big is the sge difference? 10?20?twice as yours? My dad is 10 years older than my mom, and they still living happily till now. My frerind marry her husband with 16 year age difference, and they are very happy and contented. What problem do you envision concerning his age? I cant see any conflict. As long as you both love each other ( which you say you do ), go ahead with your plan and be happy.

Age doesn't matter when u love a person. If you really love him get married. Adjustments in married life from both the partners is what marriage is all about. If you are ready to adjust after marriage u can take a step forward.

I know that the age difference used to be a problem some time ago but people don't think much of it these days and i would absolutely side the age differnce relationship specifically when the man is older than a woman it get's easier for the man to understand the woman and he does'nt make a joke of himself amoung his or her friends and also he would go out of his way to please you cos he is Older than you* I am living with my fiance who is 10 yrs older than me and as you have not mentioned how old is yr guy i'd say 10 to 12 yrs would be fine unless yr not too old yrself than it's easier to know eachother as yr both not so old to start a new family and life.. Good luck

i think you should marry him , it dosent matter any age difference, its just the matter of understanding and the sacrifise one can make for the other... so ill suggest that you should marry him without taking so much time to decide and then after wards suffer with your decision.... so think about it .. BEST REGARDS,

i personally dont believe in marriage, but it's entirely your choice...if you have even the slightest of doubts, then don't..

if the age difference is the only for you then you talk to him about it. He is however apart of this relationship... if this doesn't bother as much as it should then move on..

life is not for a day or year long its life long so love is not the only factor to be considered there are many others to be think about.

If you really love your boyfriend then there is no problem. Age doesn't matter. For me i more prefer to choose a guy who is older than me,most of them are more mature enough to manage a family well. Good luck to you..

As said by others, it is your wish to marry him. Age doesn't matter before love thats what my suggestion.

Marrying somebody is not by age bracket.Marriage is a commitment.Binding 2 hearts into one!!!The fact that you love each other,then why having doubts just because of your age??? Do you really love him???If Yes, then follow your heart!!! But remember that marriage is not a game!!!Its a lifetime commitment...God Bless & Goodluck!!!

in my opinion, as long as you love each other and both of you are happy when you're together, age will not be a problem coz it doesn't matter. But before you marry, still think it over because marriage is a lifetime commitment. in my case, my husband is 10 yrs. older than me and we're happily married for more than 9 yrs already with two adorable kids. i hope this helps.
