worser then that. n if u r man u should know what i was talking about, n if u r women u dont need to

Re: Marrying someone younger/older…

What??? Please explain.

I personally would want someone who is 2-5 years older than me. The reason being everyone tells me you are so mature for your age, so if I got married to a younger guy who wasn’t very mature, I might look down on him and I don’t want to have that kind of relationship with my husband. I would rather be with someone whom I could look up to and learn from him.
But if I find a guy who is my age or slightly younger but considerably mature and sensible, then I might change my mind. However, I would still be very skeptical if the age gap is >2 years.

Re: Marrying someone younger/older...

i personally would not be okay with a younger husband. in my case my husband is 6 years older than me and i wouldnt have it any other way. at first i had refused his rishta because i thought he was maybe too much older because i was only 22 and he was 27 going on 28.. my husband is a lot more patient with me and his maturity works well for our marriage. i find that older men are more nurturing.. i keep him youthful and he keeps me grounded. :)

Re: Marrying someone younger/older...

I wasn't bothered.. as long as the gap wasn't too large.. My SO is a few months younger..

I don't think the guy being a couple of years younger is usually even noticeable nowadays.. People always assume my (slightly) younger brother and male cousins are older than me..

Re: Marrying someone younger/older...

My wife's a year older than me. My cousin's wife is about 4-6 years older than him and they have 3 kids. They're living very happily together.

As some others said, age playing a factor in intimate relationships is a very Western mentality. Granted, I don't mean to imply one should go get married to a child.

Re: Marrying someone younger/older…

I want to know basis behind this baseless theory. Our Prophet was married to a lady 15 years older than him and there were no health complications. Most of the prophet’s children were from Hazrat Khadija except one from Hazrat Mariya.

Re: Marrying someone younger/older…

Age matters in health case (Al though i got quite a shock with new research)

Downside of marriage for women: The greater a wife’s age gap from her husband, the lower her life expectancy

a woman reaches her sexual peak when she is older…n most young men are so immature!

Re: Marrying someone younger/older…

The link you posted say big age gap (upside and downside) both are fatal to woman. So why don’t we bring such research when old man marries young woman.

Having said this, such researches are subject to change and nothing could be said with authenticity.

Re: Marrying someone younger/older…

For your satisfaction

“The study at Germany’s Max Planck Institute also found that men marrying older women are more likely to die early.”

Kia karon bhai if you are a man then pani khatam ni hota :D

Admi or ghora(horse) ?..

Re: Marrying someone younger/older…

I would again repeat example of Prophet and his wife Hazrat Khadeeja (RA). He married a lady 15 years older than him and they led a happy and healthy life for 25 years. Hazrat Khadeeja died at the age of 65 years and the Prophet at the age of 63 years (13 years after the death of Hazrat Khadeeja).

Arab society believed (and still believe) a formula for wife’s age. I guess its : Husband age / 2 + 7= Wife’s age… But all this history of married life of prophet proves these theories were wrong. Its just our state of mind that makes and believe on such theories.

Re: Marrying someone younger/older...

upto 2 years

Re: Marrying someone younger/older...

you asked me to post a link and i did...

these are not valid points.....

and In many things Arabs were wrong in the past .

Scientifically it says EARLY DEATH (getting weaker n old fast) and no one knows about mortality.

watch it from 1:15 :chai:

Re: Marrying someone younger/older...

You do realize the two research articles you linked to, are contradicting each other. And what is ironic is that they are done by the same person. So even he can't agree on his own research. And have you heard of the statement "correlation does not imply causation"? Just because A and B are somehow related, does not mean that A causes B or vice versa. The two articles presented do not provide sufficient explanation for why the two theories it has presented happen. Since it doesn't provide that data, it can't be that accurate now can it? Also the data is restricted to one country's population and is simply a demographic study. Before you can extrapolate that data to the population of an entire world, it has to be repeated across the entire world, or at least countries from each continent at least. And studies of such nature will probably also show you that banana eaters are more likely to be rich. Does such a study show you how exactly eating bananas causes a person to earn a higher income? Not really, because these two factors aren't really related. Another thing, do these two research articles take into account prior living situations ie before getting married? What if these couples divorced after the data was accumulated? Does that somehow increase or decrease the individual's survival years? Here's the fall out with demographic research; it's not a longitudinal study. Only with a longitudinal study can you for certain say that yes A causes B. All you're showing is how A and B exist.

Look buddy if your mom comes to you and says beta I have a rishta for you and she's even a day older than you, then say no. It's simple as that. But don't try to show to the rest of the world that "scientific" research says that you can't marry that girl because A) she will die before you or B) she will kill you by just being a day older than you.
