In the recent past I have realised comptability and maturity has to do with the individual and not with age. My life presently is revolving around figuring out whether someone younger to me but suitable from all other perspective should be a life partner. My brother urged me to consider the age factor. I am unable to comprehend what I should consider. Any suggestions?<br /><br />p.s. yet another well articulated thought.

I think I read some time ago it was 73 for men and 78 for women although stats could have changed by now. (Those might be UK stats I can't remember now.) My mother was 9 years younger than my father I always recall her saying after he died "It seemed likely he would die before me but I never thought it would be this soon. It can be long old age on your own."<br /><br />I believe it's true about men maturing later but biologically it makes sense to have a younger husband. So maybe us girls should have toyboys?! My hubby is 2 years older but I'm willing to divorce and try out a younger model:))) <br /><br />(Just for science you understand Usha!)Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-45601705395862373292009-12-12T13:16:06.454+07:002009-12-12T13:16:06.454+07:00In Rajasthan and in interiors of Karnataka I have ...In Rajasthan and in interiors of Karnataka I have seen young boys married to older women often even ten years their senior. <br />Long ago, I read in an article in 'India Today', about a terminally ill 10 year old in Rajasthan who required constant care. The kid was married off to a responsible woman in her early twenties. Marriages for such convenient reasons were common, and perhaps still are. <br /><br />So I think the idea of a younger bride was, like you rightly pointed out, to make sure she adjusts (moulds) well to the new family, bears many children, is able to work hard and is able to take care of her Lord in his old age. I am not even getting into how fair such expectations were, and if this was a good idea at all from the girl's point of view, but thankfully this is changing.<br />Anshwarya Rai is also married to Abhishek Bachchan, two years her junior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-15697402865264345032009-12-09T16:00:35.834+07:002009-12-09T16:00:35.834+07:00Age is just a number is that not what wise folks s...Age is just a number is that not what wise folks say?maamihttp://maami.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-72856507656919438302009-12-07T20:07:48.511+07:002009-12-07T20:07:48.511+07:00i guess all the reasons that you gave did hold tru...i guess all the reasons that you gave did hold true then. they might hold true even today, but the importance of those reasons has diminished.<br /><br />i mean when i married at 26, yes my opinions were pretty much firm and so was my way of life. but then again, at least in urban families today, you are not expected to toe the line just because you are the bahu. <br /><br />M and me have a difference of 3 years. he is older than me. and i really have not imagined whether it would have been different if he was younger!<br /><br />ofcos he IS younger looking. one of the reasons my mom had a problem with us getting married was that i will always look oler. but then i didnt care and she realized it was a bleddy flimsy reason! hehe!<br /><br />that said you do see couples where the woman is much older breaking more easily than where the man is older. but i dunno if its just the age that matters.<br /><br />i guess as long as the compatibility is there, life is good! :)<br /><br />cheers!Mama - Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330103540647472728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-43946983468294209222009-12-07T17:18:15.981+07:002009-12-07T17:18:15.981+07:00I am 8 years younger to hubby and I know that I am...I am 8 years younger to hubby and I know that I am happy.<br />But yeah there are times, when I feel that he would have understood a particular situation better had he been younger.<br />I guess its all about matching wavelength - long or short :DWhatsInANamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498298103761502178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-71292374614590177232009-12-07T01:38:17.806+07:002009-12-07T01:38:17.806+07:00My husband is 14 years older to me and we have a p...My husband is 14 years older to me and we have a perfectly happy life but there are times when i wish i had a younger husband for the simple reason that i could have been 'allowed'to act my age because iam always expected to match his maturity level.it gets tiring sometimes and i realise that its just not me , BTW we had a love marriage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-11499091817088373922009-12-07T00:23:05.768+07:002009-12-07T00:23:05.768+07:00I don't think really matters because I, like @...I don't think really matters because I, like @just like that, feel that maturity has nothing to do with age.

But having lived with my husband 8 years my senior I've learnt that men like to play 'the baby of the house' part when it suits them and become masters of the house at moment's notice :-))!!

Most of our freinds have had love marriages. They were in school together, in college, at work , in same batch etc. Bottom line, they were approximately the same age. Age difference is not so much considered by the bride and the groom, but i do know parents will consider it. <br />I have heard aunts talk about a 3 year age difference before. Now a year is good enough. <br />I think the age difference is not so much to do with the looks but more of the emotional maturity of the woman versus the man. <br />Personally, as long as the compatibility exists between the two, age is a number!Garimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963208295588470923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-27715719764598304802009-12-05T01:37:22.433+07:002009-12-05T01:37:22.433+07:00My husband is 1 year younger than me.

He said the same thing to his parents, he thought I'd be too young and immature :) But then my father called me up and said "I'm exactly 6.5 years older than your mother, do you think I look too old for her??" That brought things in perspective for me, my parents always seemed perfectly suited to each other. Well, I married him and after 9 years I can say I made the right choice :)My husband certainly doesn't treat me like I'm in need of protection!We are equals and that's that.

I think I am going to love reading the comments.<br /><br />I think it is a good idea to have at least 4-5 years difference. A girls mental and emotional maturity is much higher than a guys in my opinion, so if the man is older it would be better. The difference between me and my husband is 1.5 years (he is older), but people around me, my friends, sisters they all have diff of between 4-7 years and I find it works better that way. Who doesn't have arguements these days, everyone does, but I think with a larger age gap, there will be lesser - in my humble opinion, does anyone agree?solehttp://www.liferightnow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974677.post-61236116973105998472009-12-04T07:02:24.757+07:002009-12-04T07:02:24.757+07:00At the risk of TMI, let me say that my jaw dropped...At the risk of TMI, let me say that my jaw dropped when I read your line about the out of shape 30yr old guy and the svelte 40 yr old girl - it felt like you were writing about me and my boyfriend. He's a White American, I'm a dark (no wheatish for me) Indian with so much in common that age has never been a problem for us. Of course it has been a problem for those around us, even strangers. I think that is mostly because of the skin color and not the age difference, since it is not that obvious, yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
