Good day,day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is "Age is just anumber," so let's dive into it.
As they said, age is just a number. A man food is another man poison; we can't say what's good for me can be good for you.. No, we all have different preference about it. To me, I will say there's nothing in marrying an older man; all that matters is compatibility, mutual respect,and the shared value between us.
As a female child,marrying a man who is older may not be any problem to you because of the love between the two of you,but in our countries,most especially Africa,they criticize a man who is younger than his wife than a woman who is younger than the man because they think it's fair enough for a man to marry a young lady than a young man to marry an older woman because they don't want to think whether it's because of love or not.
Age doesn't matter as long as the love between each other is strong. We have some ladies that will marry older men all because of the money the men have, while for others it's because they naturally love the man.

In Nigeria, there's this actress who married a man older than her and also old enough to be her father. Some people said it's because of the man money that's why she married him, but to me, it's not our right to judge the lady. Though I didn't say marrying an older man is bad, I prefer If am in a relationship, my partner should be two years or three years apart from me because I will be able to talk freely, not than me marrying a man who's older than me; one will feel inferior while the other will feel superior.
There's this man of God who is 10 years older than his wife and they are okay,ĺand the love is still there. Like I said earlier, another food is another man poison in the sense that we have some people who will prefer to marry an older man because of man experience, while some will prefer not to marry an older man because they will think if they marry the older man and the man dies, they will become a widow at their young age. Our perspectives are all different from each other. What Taiye may like, Kehinde may dislike, and vice versa.
To me, age doesn't mean anything as long as you understand each other and support each other. Like I said earlier, I don't have any issue marrying an older man. It may be the lady that's older or the man that's older; they are still the same. Let us put it this way: if the lady is older, since the wife is to submit to thre husband, will the older woman also submit to her younger husband since wife are to submit to there husbands? Won't the woman be playing seniority over her husband?
That's the reason why people say the lady should be the one to be young. I read a story where an older man of 35 years married a lady of 22 years, 13 years differences, but still they are living their lives by loving, supporting, and sharing values between themselves.
Having an age gap doesn't mean anything; as long as you understand, love, and support each other, then there's nothing to fear about. Even if society is criticising your relationship, there's nothing to fear about, and even you will be proud to show each other off without fearing anything.
