Guys; Can You Get Married To an Older Lady? | Ladies; Can you Get Married To a Younger Guy?
Hope I did not just look for trouble in this my blog oh! Lol.
Well, we are now in the 21st century and a lot of people don’t find anything wrong with doing the above mentioned anymore.
There is no law stated anywhere not even in the church (as far as I know oh) against marying a younger guy as a lady or an older lady as a man.
You are free to argue it.
On the other hand, a larger population of people especially Africans frown at it.
Major reason has to do with respect.
The man is meant to be the head of the family and a man will (in most cases) loose that right if his wife is older.
Some ladies would say that if a guy is not older than her with at least 3 years, she cannot accord any respect to that guy.
Is it possible for a guy to receive the kind of respect he deserves from a lady that is older?
One again, you are free to argue it.
So both sides of the coin has been represented above with the little knowledge I have about the topic.
Feel free to share your opinions on this interesting matter.
I will be in the comments section too.

Interesting topic really.
Personally, I feel respect should not be tied to age. Whether older or younger people should respect each other in a relationship. If age is the yardstick for respect, what can we say of relationships where girls still disrespect their older boyfriends. I think treating each other right and handling responsibilities well by both parties will foster respect better than age will.
While I can’t say if I can date a younger guy or not, I can say I can date someone who strikes me as mature enough in various ways to have a relationship with me.
Ciao ciao 😘

I couldn’t help but smile while I was reading your comment Runo. The part that really got to me is where you talked about dating a mature guy and I believe that is key. Age has got nothing to do with maturity and that should really be considered if you intend on having a happy and long lasting relationship.
Thank you sweetie for your enlightening us.

As Runo said , Respect is not about age. But when it comes to marriage for me, i can’t marry an older lady because there will come a time she will not be able to do things i might want to do with her and that will not be nice. I want us to grow old together, i just can’t imagine it any other way.
Sylvia Atakpor
I really get you Ayo and I completely understand the point you are making. They say women grow old faster than the men, not to mention when the lady is already older than you. It’s not nice truly.
Thank you Ayo for sharing your view.

Oki-Peter
Well well well
That’s some nice topic
I can date anyone who doesn’t tie respect to age. That means I can date you if you are older than me. Of course there is a limit can’t begin to date someone that is 20years older. But then still on still, age should not determine respect, age should not deter sparkles..
My view tho
Sylvia Atakpor
Age should not deter sparkles…. Hmm… I like that.
Thank you for your comment Peter.

For me I think it has to the with the lady in question,for instance if she the submission type I feel there wouldn’t be any crime/offence in marrying someone younger than you, but for the guys aspect I really can’t say much about that. That’s my take on this issue.. Thanks @kesyhub for this one.
Sylvia Atakpor
Faith some girls truly have wahala. They would have issues being submissive to their husbands because of age. If a lady is submissive, she can be in a relationship with a younger guy.
Thanks you for sharing Faithy. ❤❤
Ruthy
Hmmmm. Nice one.
Well I don’t mind dating a younger guy as long as he is mature enough and doesn’t call me mama lol
Sylvia Atakpor
Lol.. Being addressed as mama in this context might sound annoying sometimes.
Maturity is truly very important my dear..
Thanks for sharing Ruthy. ❤❤

Nice one kesy, first I must commend your hard work, keep it up and the sky will be your starting point.
Now as for the topic, age is just a number as they say, it’s a thing of the mind. Maturity is key.
However like Peter righly mentioned there is a limit to the gap.
Also note that there are ladies who look young no matter how old they are such women can marry younger men but there are those that actually look older than their age, I think it would be wise to consider your physique as a lady before opting into an arrangement because there might be no problem at the initial stage but as time goes by troubles will surely arise.
Believe it or not no man wants to go out with his wife looking like his mother, or grandma as the case might be, lol, you get the point.
Sylvia Atakpor
Thank you for your nice words. Amen to your prayers dear.
About the topic at hand, I really get your point oh Kexxy. You have made many good points letting us know that alot of things have to be put into consideration before going ahead to get married to a younger guy or older lady. Let’s be wise..
Thank you for sharing ❤❤

Well…to me, I don’t have anything against it.. Like the adage goes “age is just a number ” but I think it should come with maturity.. Thats what makes it balanced, if I love you as a woman and you are older than me, I don’t need to tell you what to do, you should be willing to submit and take me as a leader of the home, just knowing the man is the father figure, no oppression at all.. Love and respect breaks all that age whatever it is.. It is very possible I can marry someone older than me, but if she ain’t showing any sign of sense, of which you know what I mean, I ain’t interested.. Chiiiii
Sylvia Atakpor
Love and respect breaks everything! As far as love is there and everyone knows their place and plays their roles in the house, everything will be okay.
Thank you very much Timeyin. I just love the points you made. Thanks for sharing ❤❤
