A myth : wife should be younger than husband
27M
Me and my parents are looking out for a girl. Don't have hurry, but just started.
Recently came across multiple profiles and biodata who are around 1 -1.5 yr elder than me. My mindset also matches with few of them.. so might be we are compatible for each other.
How much does this age gap matters?
Is it just as per society or does it really affects the relationship?
Looking for perspectives from both girl and boys sides.
I prefer the age of men higher the reason is comfort in relationships . Male being a little old will adjust better for a young girl with no ego and the wife being young will respect her partner's decision.
It comes basically down to the physical looks . I am not supporting nor opposing any view point but just explaining the idea behind it. Don't bite my head off for it. The idea is after mid 30s some women tend to look more aged than normal. Especially after delivery and everything. This could later bring ego complexes among both partners and cause friction. This is what the previous generation tells. Is it true?? Will it affect u mentally?? That is an answer only you yourself can answer. People also say Women are far more mature than men mentally, so a younger women would match ur intellect and both of you will be on the same boat. Again...the decision is upto the individuals. People always change, the person u r today won't be the person your are 2 years after .... In the end everything is a Gamble!
It doesn't matter if same age or a just an year older. But keep in mind a man is always expected to be the provider and lead the relationship. This automatically translates to men requiring to earn more than the woman to allow it to happen. If you are able to earn more then you might not face any problem, otherwise you will end up in ego clashes as an older woman will generally also be more mature than you . Also if you are marrying in 20s it doesn't matter much in having kids, but if you are already in 30s, there is a biological limitation with women's fertility as they age and this will force you to look for younger women only.
Just marry the person you are most compatible with.
Go ahead brother.
I too am marrying someone who is older than me this November. The only thing you should care about is thought alignment, values matching & having a peace of mind.
The general perception that men should be older than women has often come from unhealthy roots. It has a lot to do with predatory grooming, age based value assignment to women & power imbalance.
Why are you trying to get married so young?
It's the right age as oer my community here and I'm also fine with it as we'll get good amount of time with each other before the first child. As mentioned, not in hurry bur looking for a suitable one.
Should be older than 2-3 years minimum.
I am too young to talk about this but what I have observed since childhood is that woman are more matured and clever then man of same age. so If any inconvenience occurs in the relationship you can say for sure you are getting manipulate.
