Would you marry a younger person?

Postby Linksquest » Thu Sep 08, 2005 7:55 pm

Like. A different perspective, especially for girls. LOL.

If you are a girl would you want to marry a younger guy?

Guys... how young (as long as they are the legal age to marry... o.O!) would you marry?

I was actually thinking about posting something along the same lines.

Personally, I don't think I would marry someone who was more than two or so years older than me. And as for how much younger than me, I'm not sure what the limit would be, but I don't think 7 years would be too much. It would end up being at least somewhat about whether the girl was comfortable marrying a guy who was that much older than her.

So you'd marry a girl who was 10 years younger, too, Alice? :eh:

Oh my, Alice! I never knew! Well, since we're the same age, I think I have nothing to fear. *snickers*

Linksquest, I'm glad you made this. Alice suggested I do it because of my response in her "marry someone older thread", but for whatever reason, I decided not to.

I most definitely would marry someone younger. Although, My limit would be this: they'd have to be at least over 19. I don't know about marrying someone THAT much younger than me. I guess there's really not THAT much difference between a 19 and 20 year old.

In fact, I hope I DO marry someone younger. I've always been attracted to younger men. As I've said elsewhere, it's mainly because of my interests since I know pretty much NO guys around here who are interested in the same things I am at my age.

A girl I roomed with once seriously dated a 17 year old when she was 21. Their relationship lasted two years and they ultimately broke it off because he went far away for college.

Anyway, it's been refreshing to see that some of the women here feel the same way I do.

I would marry a younger guy if I really loved him. Overall, to me, age is mostly just a number (I say mostly because the difference between my "number" and some guy's "number" could just be WAY too big), but anyways, yeah if it was just a reasonable difference then I wouldn't mind.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

I voted "it doesn't matter."

Younger, older... whatever. I mean, there are extreme limits, but for the most part, it doesn't matter. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

I'd prefer a girl older than me, but, the way things are lookin' God is pushin me to someone ALOT younger than me....so much younger I'm too embarrassed to type her age, (nothing creepy, since I'm still struggling with God over this one I'm a veritable Jacob ;)

Well my dad is 17 and a half years older than my mom, so I'd say it's entirely likely. ;)

I married a girl 3 years younger than myself. Of course I was 25 at the time and she was 22.

*stands up* My name is Rachel and I like younger men.

All joking aside (well maybe not all, considering this is me we're talking about here), I will probably end up marrying a younger man. I tend to always be attracted to guys who are younger than me, but this could change. I could become the next Anna Nicole or something. Ya never know.

I voted for both 5 and 10 years younger, although right now 10 years wouldn't be an option! My point is, the significance of age difference decreases as age increases. The older I get, the younger I'd be willing to marry. But let's not take not the wrong way shall we? :)

As far as anime...yeah...if say Yayoi Schwael was real I'd marry her.
This is because to marry Kagome or Mitsuki would be illegal since they're
both under age.On the other hand I could marry Mitsuki Rara since she's
22.

Not sure about Mitsuki Sanada, but if Kagome were real, and given she was 15 at the time of Inuyasha's introduction back in 1999(?), she would be about 21 now. Prying her away from Inuyasha might be a bit of a task, however.

For me...the man I intend to marry is four years younger than me....
I don't think age matters much as long as both people are of legal age....
Also, I think that as long as you leave it up to God...it is neither here nor there. He knows what is best for us after all...
so, I acutally chose two options....that I would marry a younger man in it was true love....and that it doesn't matter.

I have a two-year limit either way, but that's really just a loose guideline. I'll have to see what happens. The last guy I was interested in was about a year and a half older than me, and the guy I recently went on a date with is almost exactly a year younger than me, so we'll see.

My best friend's parents are like....14 years apart. Craziness.
