If you love each other and are both committed to the marriage I don't see why it would be a problem. Probably, unless she is 18. There isn't any reason it can't work out. My brother-in-law who lives in New Zealand married his wife who is almost 8 years older, been married 40 years and they have 4 kids (2 adopted from her former marriage .. she was a widow) and 2 of their own. I am almost 4 years older than my husband and been married for 34 years. My best male friend is married to a woman that is 9 years older than he is and all is well. If you love each other, laugh a lot together, communicate well and consider yourselves mature then you'll be successful.
No
he might die befor her
yes, he did. his wife was eight years older than Shakespeare himself.
No. You are marrying the man or woman, not their kids.
i dont think so. is just a stereotype thinking that man should be a few years older then the woman in their marriage. a large difference in the age regardless of gender just seems odd to some people.
The custom in biblical times was for the woman to be younger - indeed perhaps as young as 12-14 years of age and the man more mature. There is no 'restriction' mentioned to prevent an older woman marrying a younger man. Consider the practice of brothers marrying their deceased brothers wife to raise an heir. If the eldest brother married an equivalent aged woman and died, his younger brother could have been younger than his brother's wife.
Yes, but that is a great age span and eventually the younger of the two will grow weary of theslowed downcharacteristics of the older woman. No different than an older man marrying a woman 30 years youngers. The prospects of such a relationship working out has a low percentage.
Of course :)
There was nothing scandalous about William Shakespeare's marriage. Anne was around eight years older than William when the pair married in 1582 (William was eighteen), and there seems to have been a special licence issued to get the marriage through in a hurry (Anne was pregnant). But marrying a girl older than yourself was not very unusual in a sixteenth century farming community. A young man with ambition (which William certainly was) needed a mature woman to manage his local affairs while he traveled to seek his fortune in London. And marrying a bride who was already pregnant was almost normal (fiancés were considered as good as married even in Chaucer's time, as the Wife of Bath reminds us).
To me I think a woman is older than a lady
