Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum and I need some advice off you all!

I just wanted to ask is it weird to get married to a guy who is about 5-6 years older than the girl? I mean there are some people who are really paranoid about this fact and say that it can cause problems later in life. Are any of you married to someone who is about 5-6 years older than you and do you feel the difference? Also what about the girl being 2-3 years older than the guy? Does this cause any problems later in life?

Please help guys! Thanks in advance!

no, both cases are normal. its more about compatibility than age.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

I've even seen studies that found the ideal age difference to be between 3-5 years. I know people, white people, who have married people with that much of an age gap so anybody who tells you it's strange is a moron.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

It all depends on overall circumstances. Ideally it should be 2-3 years and 5-6 would be on the upper limit but its doable.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

If your personalities match, 5-6 years isn't a big deal. More important to find someone you're compatible with.

My wife and I have even more of an age difference and there haven’t been any problems due to it :alhamd:.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

5-6 years is the norm to be honest...no one blinks an eye and most people actually prefer that age gap including myself. \

It causes no problems that I can think which wouldn't arise with any age gap.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

Personally age is not an issue even if she was older or younger. I've heard girls generally prefer older.

all we know is that his grey hair's will show waaaay before your's. sigh

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

Cause we all know white people can do no wrong.

^ I don't think that's what he meant...
I think was he was saying is that it's not just a desi thing for there to be a difference/ gap in ages.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

didn't you hear the new fashion? it's hip for the guy to be at least 10 years older.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

Its all about compatibility :slight_smile:

When they say age is nothing but a number it's so true! It's all about compatibility and your personalities matching. My husband is 6 years older than me and we compliment each other so well. We're similar in our goals and lifestyle and that's why it works and if it didn't age would have nothing to do with it. Your personalities should gel, plans for your life, similar goals and dreams etc..

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

5-6 years older is so normal. even 8-9 years age difference is not considered weird.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

jus compatibility matters,age is jus a digit,infact a person older then u would understand u better ...

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

.
Nothing to do with the difference of ages!
In fact 5-6 years difference is cool !
N if the girl is 2-3 years older as u said , tb bhi its normal !

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

The guy being 5-6 years isn't normally considered a big deal..

The girl being 2-3 years older shouldn't cause issues but sometimes ppl (more often elders) don't like it.. Some get funny even if the girl is the same age as the guy and not younger..

Compatibility is the important thing.. Do what you feel comfortable with..

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

guy being 2.75 years older has been found to be optimal.

Re: Rishta from a guy 5-6 years older than girl

Make that 2.73972 years older, the math works out better that way :)

Anyhow, as people said before 5-6 yr difference is actually the norm. I've seen as much as 10 year older guys, with happy relationship.
