For me age differences and ranges in marriage plays vital rolls depending on what the partners involved wanted or how they perceive the relationship between them as couple to be. In a more understandable terms, marriage is decision made from our hearts ♥️, through choices and desires.

I do not see “Age Range” in marriages as an obstacles if the two parties involved are of adult age and not an under age couples who has not attained the age of adulthood. So therefore an adult can choose to marry who ever she or he pleases as long as both has decided within themselves.

But one thing is sure in marriage which is why we should pay so much attention when making decisions to marrying that person we have chosen as life partner because definitely, its for better for worse. The first being compatibility. I am compatible with this person I have chosen as a partner despite the age difference? And secondly, is there love between two of us that can last to when we are aged?

Its not just the age that matters because but the value we carry as people of a society. I have a friend who married at the age of 25 years to a man of 43 years. The issue here is that because the man stays overseas, United States 🇺🇸 to be precise. And because she was carried away with dreams of how this man will come and elevate her family since she is the first daughter, she did not care to slow down and watch things before getting pregnant 🤰 for this guy. In all at the end, her traditional marriage was carried out and she started enjoying the marriage. The worst of it all was that she decided to give birth every year which made her had four children in fours years of the marriage. We later found out that this man has a wife in America 🇺🇸. And all he wanted was children because right now has obtained American Citizenship for this four kids and my friend has none. In fact, he has taken three to America 🇺🇸, left the youngest with my friend. This is not funny 😆, but that is life for you. Her dreams was shattered even as a graduate of Pharmacy because she lost focus.

Its not that two people of the same age bracket can not marry each other and its not that people of 10 years apart should not get married, but here we have to know the connection, the motive, the chemistry and most of all the value each person has for the other. There is no way age can determine marriage because many factors decides marriage for different people so age in marriage should not be a criteria.

A 50 year old man who was very rich and a top politician proposed marriage to 27 year old one time beauty pageant and she accepted to marry him. The father of this girl also a politician threatened to disown the girl who is his daughter, but the mother of the girl backed her up because she believed in her daughter. The case here is not that the girl is marrying the man because of money because her father is also rich and in fact one time ex-governor. The reason is that this girl is excessively beautiful and has been treated badly in many relationships she has had by people of the same age group, so she feels that they do not deserve her and want someone that will treat her like a queen 👸 which she eventually settled for. And I tell you she never regretted her decision to date. She gave birth to two sets of twins of 3 boys and one girl. And now an Ambassador.

Its always in our hands to make decisions that comes to our mind especially in crucial issues like marriage, but we must know what we actually want in a person and why? Is it just comfortability that we do not care what happens next? Is it love for peace if mind? Or that compatibility we need to stay in unison in all that we do as couples or partners. Age should not be barriers to marriages. Be it 10 years older or younger, its just a number and has nothing to do with two love ❤️ birds who has been joined together.
