what do you all think what should be the ideal age difference between a girl and guy for marriage.
some people advise that if the guy is good,belongs to good family, has sound character and good mannerism, earns decent then the age difference should not be the deciding factor. even if hes as older as 10 years to the girl even then it is fine.
what do you think, if having a gap as much as 10 years between couples is fine?
Re: what should be the ideal age gap between couples
Yes ofcourse, as long as you click what does it matter? if he's 10 years older or younger. Marriage is like a friendship and there's no age in friendship, if it works it works!
Re: what should be the ideal age gap between couples
I don't know why people insist on pigeon holing everything. There IS no right age gap, there is no right height, weight, salary, complexion, personality, there IS not right anything. EVERYONE is different and so everyone has different needs, wants, desires. One person's perfect husband might be another person's nightmare spouse. I always tell my wife "You're not perfect, but you're perfect for me." THAT'S what marriage is.
Re: what should be the ideal age gap between couples
Age is just a number. There is no right or wrong. Everyone has their preferences. Personally, for me, a 10 year age gap wouldn't do because I'm 26 and I feel a 36 year old guy would've been in a different phase of his life. But different strokes for different folks.
Re: what should be the ideal age gap between couples
Well im in the mid 26 and the gap between my husband nd me is 9 years. to be honest i dont know whether the age gap should make a differece or it depends on the character.
Im a very lifely person..and my husband is soo kind of boring.. not much social contacts etc...
Sooo im really kind of confused.
Re: what should be the ideal age gap between couples
I agree with all above that there’s no perfect age gap… actually waiting for someone to go maulvi and tell us how the Holy Prophet’s (saw) first marriage had a gap of 15 years…
Having said all that, in a perfect world if I could choose I would like him to be between 2 and 7 years older. No younger than 2 because I like the idea of him being slightly older and having life experience, but no more than about 7 because I still want him to be at the same stage of life as me, still exploring the world and ready for adventures…
But it honestly never bothered me, age was not a deciding factor in my marriage - it was just a happy coincidence that he’s exactly 3 years older
Re: what should be the ideal age gap between couples
Nice coincidence nnabid:)
@flowerose: in my personal opinion someone being boring or lively depends on the personality than the age.
i have seen many people who are lively,outgoing,fun loving kind and remain that way till they live. don't you see some grandpas and grandmas still cracking jokes, ready to go out if health permits etc. so it is because they have also been lively in their youth and still remain like that in old age as well.
on the other hand some people are by nature reserved, introvert and sort of "play safe only" types
