GUYS- would you marry a girl 2 years older than you? Girls can also answer

Question

Okay a few weeks ago if you remember I asked advice on marrying a guy two years younger than me but i've always liked older guys n younger guys remind me of my lil brother lol but the guy is okay with it n he has the nicest parents. He's a great guy, has no bad habits n I've known him since I was 2 years old which is when he was born lol i remember him as a baby but I'm just like what if I have 5 kids n I'm 40 n he's not attracted to me anymore? I would have to work extra hard to maintain my looks n you know what the guy isn't really attractive but nobody cares if a guy is ugly. Soooo guys would you want to marry a woman two years younger than you? And girls would you constantly obsess over your looks if you were married to a younger guy? I need some hidayat lol Thanks :-)

Answer 1

would i marry a guy younger than me?

well,i never say never,but i don't think my parents would approve,i've seen so many marriage projects being canceled because of that age difference..

Answer 2

Of course, I'm planning on marrying a girl that's almost 5 years older than me.

It's not about age, its about prettiness and attraction.

2 years = not much of a difference. Think about it, 10 years from now you'll be 29 and he'll be 27, that doesn't seem like much of a difference does it?

Answer 3

Last time you said he's 17.

The problem is not with the two years age difference, it's just that he's too young for marriage. Probably marrying a girl two years older because a younger girl would never marry him.

He will never be able to handle a woman, specially an older woman who has higher expectation considering that she's more mature.

Answer 4

Yes I will.. 2 years older! not a matter at all!!

Answer 5

Go ahead and marry him .if you love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

You are both too young.  Wait five years and see what happens.

Answer 7

i wouldnt like it, and probably wouldnt go through it, but it depends on how nice he is, but then i see that hes only 17, i say no, for me, thats way to young for a guy to get married.

so i would talk to my parents to disapprove.

Answer 8

There's nothing wrong with marrying a guy two years younger than you, but I prefer marrying a guy who is older.  Women tend to age faster than men...so yes...he might not be physically attracted to you later.  Just follow your heart...if u love the guy and he loves u, then don't let such a minor factor (age) get in the way.

Answer 9

My husband is 15 years younger than me.  I am not the type of girl he ever dated(yes I know dating is haram) or was ever interested in as far as my body image.  Once he got to know me and fell in love with me because of my personality and what he calls my big heart, he found me to be the most beautiful woman in the world.  Two years is not a big difference and it doesn't matter if you are the older one.  Love does not know age.

Answer 10

well this is not a difference to be mentioned, as long as you love each other.

Answer 11

Hun you're gonna turn 40 one day whether or not you marry this guy who is ONLY 2 years younger than you. Being married to a younger guy doesn't mean that you won't be able to maintain your looks. If you truly love someone, then you shouldn't plan your life and marriage around looks, but other important things that make up a happy home and marriage. Marriage shouldn't be treated like a competition between a husband and wife... There are days I feel beautiful and other days that I don't. In either case, my husband makes me feel like I'm beautiful no matter what because he loves me a lot.

And I do agree, looks play a big role in relationships. But the fact is, men are by nature attracted to things that look appealing to the eye. It doesn't always mean that they'll be unfaithful or feel that you're no longer good for him. If something looks pretty or nice, we all look at it... and it doesn't always have to mean we look at it in a bad or sexual way. There are men who are 40 and act like they're 17, so you should put your focus on his mentality and maturity level.  

Answer 12

Well at this age, I think there's a huge difference in maturity levels between a 17 year old boy and a 19 year old girl, but I think once you both hit 25 you level out.  So if I were 27 and he was 25 and we were in love, it wouldn't matter to me. And if you're worried about staying attractive, it's only two years! No one will know just by looking at you lol.

Answer 13

You should take care of your body no matter what.  At your age now, you may see the two-year difference as big but as you get older, you will see that there is not much of a difference.  The important thing is to know whether he's mature or not.  If you feel that he is less mature than you, you shouldn't marry him.  Two years isn't much a difference.

Answer 14

Why would 2 years make a difference if you love someone? 2 years is nothing really---I have never let a number define my relationship & I know that my man wouldn't either--I think that girls always think about our looks--no matter what our age but, I don't obsess over mine--your going to get older & he's going to get older & your looks are going to change...your not marrying him for his looks(and vice versa) I'm sure--or at least I hope not!

Answer 15

I am planning on marrying a nine year old like Muhammad did.

Muslims surely cannot see anything wrong in that can they?

I mean Muhammad was a messenger for eternity and his teachings should be followed. In order to obtain paradise.

Answer 16

Yes; up to ten years; there is no problem for me.

Answer 17

honestly, i wouldn't care if she is older then me!!

two years really doesn't matter!!  i wouldn't give up for this reason!!

Answer 18

I would say that go where love and your heart takes you. 2 years is not huge.;-)

Good Luck & God Bess

Answer 19

A woman will go through menopause and less s**y when she get old. In comparison to man this happen earlier than man. A man at his sixties or even seventies will be sexually active.

So it is better that the wife younger than husband.

According to kamasutra- by vatsyayana an ancient sexologist- maximum age difference can be up to half the age of man plus seven to woman.ie age of man 30 then half of it 15 plus 7 =22.

Ideal age difference is 6.

Answer 20

Hon age is just a number. If some one is going to be so vain and will leave you because your not pretty any more. Would you really want to remain married to such a person any ways? I sure wouldn't. Besides didn't our prophet Muhammad marry Khadija when she was 40 and he was 25 years of age? I never get why people push for a younger woman when we have an example in our Prophet of the opposite.  

Answer 21

NO joke, i would marry a woman 10 years older, the olderr the more ripe.

Answer 22

If he's a mature guy and isn't too worried about it, then I wouldn't stress over it too much either. =)  

Answer 23

Answer 24

Two years is basically no difference in my opinion.  You're still in the same generation and whatnot.  For me personally, I would prefer an older man, when I say older I mean ten to twenty years.  Ten to twenty years is an age gap, not two years.  There's nothing wrong with either way.  In the end though, age is just a number so don't stress too much over it.  If he's a good guy and you both click, I'll say go for it.

Answer 25

I wouldn't obsess.  I think if it is true love that it is deeper than outward appreances.  My husband is 6 years older than me and I think he is the sexiest man on the planet.  But the part of him I love I can't see.  It is his heart.
