Should Age Matter when Thinking About Marrying a Younger Man?

It isn't rare to see men marry younger women, but what about women marrying younger men? Would it be a long lasting relationship or is it a dead end? Let me share a relatives story here that is categorized as a con for marrying a younger man. I will name her Carmen, she is 31 and he is 22, they decided to get married when he was 19. They moved in together and everything was fine, he was loving and all the attention was for her. She would tell me how he was always so romantic and would tell her about other women that would hit on him, he never kept secrets.

Well now that they have been together 3 years and he is meeting new people he is rethinking his relationship with her. He has been talking to younger women and has changed completely towards Carmen. I went to visit her one day and he even brought up divorce because he said he is tired of the same thing. This can be a situation you might face when dating or marrying a younger man.

They might not know what they want, they have many years ahead of them and want to enjoy every minute of it. When they have same age women surrounding them at work, school or anywhere else they start to think of what it would be to be with a woman their age. They might have similar interests and those women might be more fun. Now, I am not saying that every man thinks the same, but it is a reality and could happen.

Let's focus on the pros, when you marry a younger man you won't have to worry about him being too controlling, unless you let him. When you grow older you won't have to worry about taking care of your sick husband, given that the majority of men grow older faster than women. Age shouldn't really matter, it all depends of how mature the person is, that is why you should always get to know the person before really deciding if they are marriage material. You don't want to jump into a marriage if he isn't ready, and if you aren't either. If you think about how old you are today and how you think today it is far more different than what you thought 10-12 years ago.

The man you might marry who is younger than you might go through the same stage and change years from now, but then again he might not. Women also make the man, they get used to being with you and grow more mature by your side, you have to give your part too.Share your experiences here and please let me know your opinion on this. Should women take marrying a younger man seriously or should they just go for it without thinking about the whole picture.

My opinion is marry for love, if you truly love the person you are with and are receiving the same love back then age doesn't matter.
