Do you think anything's wrong with an 11 year age difference in a marriage?

Man - 39 Woman - 28.... what could be some pros and/or cons of this age difference if any at all?

I am 20 and my husband is 34. We don't really have many problems with our age diffearnce, other than people asking is he my dad. You are both adults and mature enough. I like older men better than men my own age anyway. They are more mature and responsible.

None, go for it!

I had a 25 year difference in my marriage, and I don't think anything was a problem. When its the right person, its the right person. End of story! As long as you love each other, nothing else matters!

NO>>>NO>>> of Course not
I've seen a lot more years apart
It's alright
who would care?

go for it, the biggest difference that will cause the most fights is that one is a man and one is a woman.

If you two have the same level of maturity and similar outlooks on life, age is just a number.

Nope. Nothing wrong with it. Mental age counts more.

My grandparents were 20 years apart, got married when she was 16 and he was 36. They stayed together for life. (Ironically, she was the one who died first, but he followed six months later.)

I think if you've both had a chance to live life it would be okay. Now if the woman was like 19, that might be a problem. Good luck!

I think if you're over 18 age doesn't really matter anymore..but both people have to be over 18 years of age...

don't see anything wrong with it at all...my dad and step-mom are actually almost 20 years apart...as long as both people are mature and ready for the marriage, it doesn't matter the age or age difference.


Spanky the monkey !!!
same as us,he's 37,i'm 26 just don't wear the poor old bugger out.They say your as young as the women your on top of!!!!

Age is absolutely not a problem.

Chinese always said "age is not a problem, height is not a distance, weight is not a pressure'.

As long as you both r in love and care for each other, u'll settle all the problem. And the problem will not exist...

Nothing worng with that as long as you both make each other happy and have a strong realtionship your age difference is not a problem, now if you were 68 and she were 28 I might think a little differently

Nothing wrong with it at all. Marriage is not based on age, it is based on love and mutual respect. As long as you have those things, you will have a great marriage.I actually have a girlfriend who is 44 and her husband has just turned 30, they have been married for 5yrs, have a 3 yr old daughter and are blissfully happy. Good luck to you both for a happy and harmonious marriage.

First let me say that I am 38 years old and my Husband is 49, so no I see nothing wrong with it. I love my husband. But I will tell you that it gets harder, we have been together for over 10 years now and it seems like I still want to go out and do things and he just wants to sit at home.
If I go without him, I get the guilt trip. If I sit at home with him, Im bored and sooo tired of TV.

Its a choice that I will live with, but make sure its one you can.

I think as long as both of them respect eachother and learn to grow together age doesn't matter as long as one is in 20's and above and the younger is 17 or younger. By the age of 28 you've matured enough to realize the good, the bad and the ugly. I know couples who has had a bigger age difference and their marriage is great. Best of luck.

I am 11 years older than my husband, clear that, separated husband! Maybe it works for the guy to be 11 yrs older than the female. For some reason him being 11 years younger than me is not working!! I think you need to ask yourself and her, in 10 years, maybe even 5 years, what do you expect in a relationship? Kids? Early retirement and travel? How are the finances of you both? Money can be an issue with a younger person!!

Go for it your both old enough to know what you want thats all that really matters

Well I think it is great considering I'm 38 and bf is 23 and he decided that he wants someone his own age now. To be honest your going to grow old by yourself.

hubby and I are 10 years apart and it is not a problem at all.

the pros could be that the man can teach the woman the way the world works and what it was like in a different era. The cons are that older men sometimes can be more controling and abusive.

There's 13 years difference in me and my husband. I love my husband, but...as he gets older his s*x drive is not as strong as mine. Also, he tends to be tired at night so we don't go out much. He goes to bed very early, like 8:00 or so and that leaves me very lonely!!!!! Just make sure you think it through. Morally, of couse, it's fine. I think I would have married my husband anyway, but I did not think about all of these issues. It's truly kind of hard.

The only problem I can see might be in what kind of activities the two of you are into. What people my age find entertaining is different then what people 10, 20 and 30 years younger than me do.
Other than that I think once both parties are over 21 then it really doesn't matter what the age difference is.
