Question

Should I marry a guy twenty years older than me, will the marriage last?

Answer 1

You can do whatever you want.  The marriage will last if your suited to each other and want to make it work.  

Answer 2

Do you really love each other? If so, you need to take the chance.

Answer 3

well you have to look at things here a little bit. Age is just a number to start with. You have to find out where you are in your life. Are you done doing all your running and the this that you wanted to do since your youthful. He may go along with it for awhile but it will get old to him after awhile. Look at the state of health there in. How they care for them self.  I'm not sure how old you are or anything like that. But if your 20 and he's 40 the chances are the marriage wont work. Ask your self one of the biggest question. are you willing to take care of your spouse when they are unable too. or would u stick them in a nursing home? all because you can and your young enough to care for yourself and find someone else. Your the only one can decide that. And if your with them because you love them and be there for him then go for it. Don't be with him because he has money. Plus if your planning on having kids that might be something you might want to think about also. Think of everything possible that you can think of. The pro's and the con's. and anytime your having to stop or even ask the question that you just did or anything for that matter. then you might not considering doing. but u have to decide that nobody else!!

Answer 4

You should do what your heart tells you. Only you can make that choice . Only you will know how long it will last. Just don't be pushed into the relationship . Only you can determine your happiness.

Good luck.

Answer 5

If you are 30 or above yes if not no.  Too little info.

Answer 6

if you are in love and he is good to you.

Answer 7

How long have you been with him? Does he have a lot of money? After a while, the money won't be important and you may miss out on being with people your own age and having a guy that's more into your generation's stuff. It's up to you as to what you like as a person, do you like to do things people 20 years older than you do? Will he mind if you do things with your younger friends that he may not want to do?  

Answer 8

just because hes twenty years older than you doesn't mean the marriage won't last, but it would be hard having kids. think about it this way. HE WAS TWENTY YEARS OLD WHEN YOU WERE BORN!!

Answer 9

That depends upon a lot of things.  I think if your around 28 or more then it has a good chance as long as your both honest with each other and truly love each other and want it to last.

Answer 10

i don't think so even if you love him your marriage won't last very longer because he will loose his saxual abilities and the control of his body and mind way more earlier then you and in this kind of cases most of the time its physical attraction not love!!

Answer 11

That is a big decision and one that you have to make for yourself with out the help of strangers on the internet.
