There are many factors that one must consider in choosing a marriage partner. One of such factors is the age difference between the prospective couples.
Age difference between married couples observed in different cultures shows that in many marriages, the husbands are usually older than their wives as compared to both same-age and women-older than men marriages.
Age is not really a big issue for men but women. Men don’t grow so fast like women. When you compare a man who is 50 and a woman who is in her 40s, you will find out that the woman really looks too old yet the man still looks strong and good.”
Last weekend, I got the opportunity to a wedding where a prominent businesswoman of 45 was marring with a man of 25 years old.
Apparently as the wedding ceremony went on, I realized that I was not the only guest amazed by the couple’s age difference but almost all the guests were murmuring to each other about the same. On the other hand, I kept wondering why the invited guests were really concerned about the huge age difference.
However, human beings naturally have different tastes and preferences especially when it comes to marriage. There are so many different things people look for in a marriage partner depending on their interests.
In most cases what matters in marriage is love and understanding between the partners. Two people come together to form a family not based on years but on what they may contribute to society.
Do think age difference really matter when choosing a marriage partner?
